Actually, I heard raves for the three places I selected for Pinkfest this

I've posted this question to the alt.vacation.las-vegas newsfroup and
responses have started to come in. I'll summarize this Sunday.

Yes, I'll write up this for the next mailing.

Ok, yes, please do check it out. If I can think of another excuse to
visit LV prior to DLV I'll check it out too. I'm assuming the food is
barburgers, chicken strips, and such. I'm sure the prices are
reasonable.
Ladies (gentlemen) does this sound like a possibility for a Welcome to
DLV meal?

On Tuesday evening we have a Milano's din-din planned, so if the
atmosphere is right (and we decide we have forgiven them for being such
equine derrierres about restrooms) it might be a possibility for a
Pre-DLV gathering.

Yes, please let us know what you find out. I have know idea where that
place even is. TIA. :)

I dunno, I was kinda thinking of wearing a bra on the outside, like they

I'm sure they would love that. :)

I agree on this. Loud places are for dancing, but our pre/welcome/mixer
should be in a quiet(er) location.

That's a very good turnaround time, I hope the DLV people do not
overwhelm them, though. :)

I'm hoping that the majority of our people are or will be confident
enough to get ready in their own hotel rooms, but this is an option for
those who may not be, or those who are local and want to be a bit
discreet.

I will probably get a van as well, at least for the DLV period. I dunno
if there will be others, but with two vans and some other volunteer
drivers, we should have all rides covered for everybody.

Those are good prices.

Leah, next time you're in there could you ask her if she received my
reply to her note to me. Thanks. :)
