Early mailing:
Yes, a number of things happening quickly.
Lots of small but significant schedule changes, particularly with regard
to times.
Let's review ...
1. The LV MCC web site says services are 10:00 as opposed to 10:30 as
appeared on our schedule before. This has been updated to meet at 9:45.
Unless somebody says otherwise, this will be the time on the final
schedule. Can somebody please confirm the actual MCC time.
2. Star Trek Experience does not open until 11:00. Time has been
adjusted.
3. Quarks lunch replaces Bellagio lunch. See note about rescheduling
Bellagio. Somebody pick a day! Jamie?
3. The show Ovation replaces V. Time has been adjusted to 7:00pm.
4. The show change drives a limo tour time change. Time has been
adjusted. Aiko, I am assuming about the same length of show here.
5. Hidden Woman cancelled. See below. Removed from schedule.
6. High Tea time rescheduled to 2:00pm Friday. See below.
. . . . .
Latest numbers:
I'm cutting directly to the bottom line here.
Total registrations: 105
Total SO: 25
Total signup: 130
Total projection: 97
This is with almost 2 full weeks of registration yet to go. If
registrations stop now and we have no more cancellations, we can
expect a real-world total turnout somewhere between 97 and 130.

High Tea:

I had this down for 4:00, but I will change it to 2:00pm.

I think I found it here. "Tricia's Tea Room, Red Rooster Antique Mall",
1109 Western Avenue.
I doubt if any other antique mall in the area has a tea room. :)
Unless I hear otherwise I'll put that on the map and directions.
>cost per person 23.25 including tax an tip.
I had this down for $28, and I just updated the sign-up screen.

What I will do is announce the price and the time change, with yet
another note that signing up for it is considered a reservation, etc.
I will add that people who sign up but do not pay or show up will be
aggressively contacted for payment.

What is the exact capacity? I have it set to 30 as of now, and there are
29 signed up. I put the "full" sign up as an advisory.

Thanks, Mindy. I'll make a prepay boilerplate similar to the others and
get the deadline in there as well.

If you have the names of those who have not responded, you can check
them against the current roster at:
http://www.geekbabe.com/cgi-bin/dlv/ppant.cgi
This will tell where they stand with regard to registration and activity
sign-up and such.
>I hate to deny a big sister to anyone who needs one. I would say the

>cutoff for registration.
Ok, let's consider Big Sister sign-up to be open through the 28th. I
do need to cut off activity sign-up and registration at that time to
give a window of at least 2 days to make lists and such and to allow
for any technical issues, etc.
>The switch to Ovation from V is not exactly the best timing.
Well, at least it happened 2 weeks out and not 2 days out!

That's good to hear. I haven't heard any griping or major concerns about
the change from V to Ovation.

Thanks. I'm going to do a highlight on the O show for this week's
mailing. I'll be using some of this text.
OBTW, Tootsye and Diane, I had planned to feature MCC as the activity of
the week in the April 18 mailing, this will go out in the April 25
mailing instead if that's ok.

Limo timing:
Jamie writes:
>I see no insurmountable problems with moving the Tour back. We will
>just need to let the Limo company know.
Thanks, Jamie. I assume the show is about the same length, and you will
want the same amount of time between the two.
I also assume the Limo Tour will depart from the main Aladdin entrance.
Am I correct?
>I would like to see the Belaggio lunch stay, somewhere. That is a very
>classy place and I enjoy going there.
Ok, care to pick a day? Other than Wednesday, of course.
>Are the Drink options set-up on the Limo Tour page?
No, I was not informed of any drink sign-up reqirements. It's really too
late to do this now, since 80-90% of the activity sign-ups are already
in. We can post a notice in the general mailing this weekend if you
want.
What I suggest you do is something along the line of picking 2-3 types
of refreshments that most people like (note that Galiano [sic] is not
usually included in this category) and post a note in this weekend's
general mailing that these will be provided, and if anybody wants
something special, write in and you will try to accommodate.
>I am getting payments that are in names that are not on the list also.
>I think that many people are paying with "Male" names. Maybe you can

>number.
Kinda hard to put this on the page and have people see it, since the
vast majority of sign-ups are already done. We can, however, put out
a Limo Tour Update in the general mailing with this and the beverage
selection choices.

HW, Carluccio's, Tramps, LVL:

Thanks for the update, Leah. We will announce this as cancelled. :(
We do have the Shopping Expedition on Wednesday afternoon, so we will
not be hurting for something to do.
>Tramps is officially closed now so that's one less place to visit. At

I've been in contact with Michael C., and he is currently scrambling
to find a place for a show early Saturday evening. He mentioned that
Tramps was no longer an option, even for a temporary function.
>If I get over to the LV lounge I'll let them know we are coming.
>I'll keep an eye on the headcount for Carluccio's.
Thanks, Leah. As of this time we have 72 signed up for it, and the magic
formula says that 49.8 will show up, so the headcount would most likely
between those numbers if registrations were to stop today, which I
seriously doubt.
