Early birds:
For those of you who will be in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 29, please
join us for an informal get-together Saturday evening at the Bar And Bistro
at the Arts Factory.
This is located on the north side of Charleston Boulevard just east
of Main Street. Parking is available to the rear of the building.
This appears on the main DLV activity map noted with the marker 10.
This is a mainstream venue, but attracts a very "artsy"
clientele, and therefore this activity and venue will be very
"safe" and comfortable for beginners.
This will be an informal gathering for drinks, socializing, and
optional dining.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE MAIN SCHEDULE.
DLV folks are expected to start arriving between 5:00pm and 6:00pm.
No sign-up, just show up. Boymode or girlmode, casual to dressy.
Mainstream dress, please, no costumes, clubwear, or slutty/fetish
outfits.
Weather:
Advance forecast for Las Vegas for DLV week (subject to change
at short notice):
Mostly fair, highs in the mid 70s, lows in the 50s,
1-5% or so chance of rain, possibly breezy at
times. (Pack an umbrella. It doesn't rain that often in Las Vegas, but
when it does it POURS!)
Misc. legal items:
- Nevada law prohibits the
use of hand-held cell phones and hand-held texting devices when operating
a motor vehicle.
- Recent Legislation
prohibits, among other things, discrimination in the area of public
accommodations with regard to gender identity or expression. As of this
writing, it is unclear what effects, if any, this legislation will have
on the use of gender-designated restrooms in the Las Vegas area. Until an
authoritative legal opinion on this topic emerges, it is strongly
suggested that all DLV attendees follow our long-standing Behavior,
Dress, and Restroom guidelines.
- DUI checkpoints have been reported, sporadically but consistently,
around the Las Vegas metro area. Recently-reported locations include
Flamingo Road and Decatur, along Boulder Highway between Sahara and
Flamingo, eastbound Tropicana just east of the Strip, Valley View and
Desert Inn Road, Rainbow and Blue Diamond Road, and eastbound
Flamingo between Koval and Paradise. Watch it!
- Summons' for pedestrian infractions such as jaywalking and walking
against signals have been reported in the downtown and Four Corners
(Flamingo-Strip) areas. Reported fines are in the $100.00-ish range.
- Bike officers have been citing motorists who run a "stale
yellow" northbound on Las Vegas Boulevard (Strip) at Flamingo.
The officers are not visible south of the intersection.
Possible confusing vendor and venue names and locations:
We have a number of activities this year happening in venues
which have confusingly similar names or multiple locations
throughout the Las Vegas area.
Here's a summary of those activities happening in locations
which may be easily confused:
- Bare Escentuals [sic] is the correct name and spelling of
the shop in the Fashion Show Mall which hosts our makeover
sessions on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. The name is very similar to another
firm, to which it has no connection.
- Some signage for the above Bare Escentuals shop may say Bare
Minerals instead. This refers to the same shop.
- There are multiple Macy's branded stores in the area. The
one we will use for the makover sessions is the one in the
Fashion Show Mall on the Strip.
- There are numerous PT's Pub locations in the area. The one
we will be using will be the 532 East Sahara location. This is
NOT, the same PT's Pub used in 2012!
- There are three Blue Ox locations in the Las Vegas area. The one
we will be using is the one on west Sahara.
