Marilyn and I are at the far west end of Fremont St. and the rio is 3700 block of S vegas strip. I need to get the lay of the land

Should be fun,

Casual works for me. Not sure which kilt I'll be wearing, but I'll have on my black "Sporranos" t-shirt that night.

Will you have a car or are you using public transportation? The Rio is actually a bit west of the strip on Flamingo.

One more week to go, we can't wait!!

Went to their website and found it on the map and yes we have our car but am not opposed to using public transportation. We'll see what works when we get there.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all there! We still plan on arriving Friday night, but perhaps not until 9pm so we'll be joining you at the Tilted Kilt a bit tardy.

I was checking the LV Games website and there are events scheduled at 8pm for both Friday at Saturday nights. Friday is just a party at Henessey's, but Saturday is listed as: Ceilidh at Hennessey’s Pub – LA Scots –Celtic Rock Band TBA

Better late than never, IES! See you there!

Just wanted to take a moment and give credit where it is due. Patti and I mailed a check and registration form back on March 3rd to the folks at the Las Vegas Celtic Society for the VIP package at this week's games. When last weekend rolled around and we realized we still had not received our materials, we sent an inquiring e-mail.

Last night, a nice lady named Betty Parker called and told us they never received the check. "Not to worry." She would personally drop off everything we needed to our hotel so it would be waiting for us upon arrival on Friday. She would also notify the staff at the VIP tent that we are registered and we could pay when we get to the games.

So thanks to the wonderful help of Ms. Parker and the LV Celtic Society. We're looking forward to our first LV Highland Games!

Wow, that's very impressive service! Karen and I didn't bother to order tickets for anything, we'll just pay at the gate.

One more sleep! We can't wait to get going tomorrow, although the weather system that's blowing through the area today and tonight may slow us down a bit. They're calling for up to 25cms of snow by tomorrow morning. Yay.

What time is being planned for the gathering in the tilted kilt? Suzann and I have to be at a meeting at Congregation Ner Tamid at 6:30 but should be free to leve there by 7:30 PM
