Las Vegas Get Together

[Jdhanover]

wish this was over a weekend...tough to do during the work week for us working stiffs.

Hope everyone who can go, does and has a great time!

Yeah, we’re sorry about that. We had two main concerns: Keep expenses to a minimum (hence Palace Station and unfortunately, room rates triple for Friday and Saturday) and also the ability to sit closely together in the book. M-Th, we can likely be consolidated in just 2 rows. Friday-Sunday, forget about it…we’d be scattered all over the racebook.

We were hoping a 6 month heads up would allow some to schedule vacation time but that obviously doesn’t work for everyone.

I am coming in on Saturday night leaving Thurs morning. That was the best pricing on flights out of Philly, American does its best to take your last $ if you let them! To Bob's point the room rates (inclusive of a Saturday night) averages $50. I hear the oyster bar at the hotel is amazing, also they make a mean burger.

A horseracing buddy of mine will be joining the festivities....Tom let's talk about what cigars to bring....

Hello Wizards: My name is Stanley and I will be attending the get together in July. I have had VP for several years but still learning and wanting to learn more. I am making a point to make this get together because I want to meet other Wizards personally. I just had the great pleasure of meeting Sam just the other day when he was in New Orleans. Look forward to meeting everyone. Sincerely, Stanley

That's great, Stanley! The people who are coming are pretty sharp players and all around nice guys...I'm sure you'll have a fun time!

Bob: I look forward to meeting you and the other wizards. It will be fun. Thank you, Stanley
