Latest DLV 2020 updates:

Welcome to those who just registered or just joined this mailing list.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know by simply
replying to this mailing.
. . . . .

Diva Las Vegas 2020 is only five weeks away and this mailing contains
the latest information about this year's event.

If you want to participate in DLV 2020 and have not registered yet, you
will want to register as soon as possible. See "What you need to do"
below.

You will need to be registered by Sunday, March 1, to get in on the
first round of Activity Sign-Up. Details appear below.
. . . . .

As of Friday morning we currently have 163 registered to attend this
year's event. This number includes 28 significant others. Attendees
this year come from all over the US, Canada and Mexico plus Europe and
Australia, making DLV 2020 a true international event!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Activity Sign-Up starts soon:

Activity sign-up is an important milestone on the road to Diva Las
Vegas. This is when you tell us which of the many optional activities
you want to do.

Most of our activities are on what we call a "no sign-up, just show
up" basis, meaning all you need to do in order to attend is to be a
registered DLV attendee.

Several of them, however, require such things as a sign-up, a headcount,
or maybe even a payment in advance.

We take care of this at activity sign-up time.

Sometime during the first week of March, everyone who currently holds a
valid DLV 2020 registration will receive a special mailing containing an
invitation to sign up for optional activities.

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR DLV 2020 AND DO NOT RECEIVE
THIS BY SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, AT THE VERY LATEST,
SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

If this (no invitation to sign-up for activities) happens to you, please
e-mail dlv@divalas.vegas and let us know.

The Activity Sign-Up mailing will contain the link to your personal
Attendee Information Portal and specific instructions on how to sign
up for activities.

If you want to get a jump on things, beginning on or about Sunday,
March 1, you can simply return to your Attendee Information Portal
(the link you received when you registered for DLV) at any time and
begin the Activity Sign-Up process. If the "Activity Sign-Up tile is
green, that means that Activity Sign-Up is open.

Likewise, MyDLV members can sign-up for activities at their convenience
by clicking on the "Activity Sign-Up" button on the main MyDLV screen
beginning in the first week of March. If the "Activity Sign-Up" button
appears at the top of any of the main MyDLV screens, that means that
Activity Sign-Up is open.

If you change your mind on anything, it's very easy to return to the
Activity Sign-Up screen and make changes.

It's also very easy to see a summary of the activities that you are
signed up for. Just return to the Attendee Information Portal and
select the green "Update Activities" tile.

Please let us know if you have any questions or any difficulty with
Activity Sign-Up.

A few more Big Sister volunteers needed:

Thanks to those who recently volunteered to be Big Sisters!

Currently, we are still short a few Big Sisters.

Please consider volunteering and helping make a newbie's first DLV
memorable.
. . . . .

You may volunteer to be a Big Sister by either returning to your
registration screen via your Attendee Information Portal, which is the
link you received after you registered, or by simply replying to this
mailing stating that you wish to be a Big Sister volunteer.

As an added incentive this year, those who volunteer to be Big Sisters
will be granted voting status in the DLV Volunteer Group for the current
year.

Thanks for your consideration.

Discount Flamingo rooms going fast:

As of Friday, there are still a couple of rooms under the DLV group
plan, but when these are gone, that's it for this year!

First come, first served.

You can book your room on line here:

https://book.passkey.com/go/SFDIV0

If you go to the above URL and still see the discount rates ($55 for the
weekdays) there will be at least one room still available under the
group plan. If you see the higher regular rates, the plan is sold out.

Information about the Flamingo appears here:

https://divalas.vegas/dlv2020/2020hotel.html
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Show Ticket Sales:

As everyone knows, advance DLV tickets to the RuPaul show on Tuesday
of DLV week sold out fast!

As we announced in our last general mailing, we have two other major
shows on the schedule.

The shows are:

Absinthe, at Caesars, on Sunday, March 29 at 8:00pm

and

Bronx Wanderers, at The Linq, on Wednesday, April 1 at 8:00pm
. . . . .

Since the Sunday performance of Absinthe is expected to sell out prior
to DLV, Julie, the Activity Coordinator, is currently taking orders
for advance tickets. This will allow DLV attendees to have preferred
seating, all together, in the audience.

Julie writes:

Sounds like the Absinthe show is filling up. If we get 10+ going (which
I think we will) the ticket prices will be $134.74. I'm starting to
collect. Please use my pay pal account so you are guaranteed a ticket.

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/juliedivapay

Absinthe show Sunday 8 pm March 29th. Come join us for some laughs and
spectacular acts as we start the Diva Las Vegas week.

Note: "Show goes beyond most comfort levels" "Outrageous comedy to
seductive burlesque to jaw dropping acrobatics"
. . . . .

Depending on demand, there may be advance ticket sales for Bronx
Wanderers on Wednesday of DLV week and Julie is currently doing an
informal headcount to gauge the demand for these.

Bronx Wanderers is a "Jukebox Musical", featuring the hits of Dion and
the Belmonts and associated performers.

If you are interested in attending the Bronx Wanderers with the DLV
group, please email Julie at: julieannhope62@gmail.com

Please tell Julie the number of tickets you would like to have.

What you need to do:

If you would like to attend this year, but have not taken any action to
do so, here's what you need to do. There's still plenty of time, but
the clock is ticking and deadlines will be coming up!

1. Look over our website. Be sure that you know what our event is, and
what it is not. https://divalas.vegas/
. . . . .

2. Register for the event.

You can register on line here:

https://divalas.vegas/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi

Registration is now open and is free. It takes only a few minutes. If
you have any difficulty with registration, please let us know. Just
reply to this mailing.
. . . . .

3. (if necessary) Make your travel and lodging arrangements. Please do
not procrastinate! The more you wait, the more you pay!

A few rooms are still available under the DLV Group Plan at the
Flamingo. Hotel information, including a booking link for the DLV
Group Plan, appears here:

https://divalas.vegas/dlv2020/2020hotel.html
. . . . . . . . . .

If you have any questions or any difficulties, let us know. Just reply
to this mailing.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Things to come:

The next big milestone is Activity Sign-Up. Details appear above.
. . . . .

During the week prior to DLV we will send out the Final Attendee
Information to everyone holding a valid registration for this year's
event.

The Final Attendee Information will be on the web, accessible via your
Attendee Information Portal, and will include the following:

* The Bare Minimum - a "Quick Start Guide" to DLV.
* Late Notices - Changes - Updates
* Deadlines and Cutoffs
* Maps And Schedules
* Dress notes for all activities
* Local Contact Information
* Setting up cell phone and e-mail activity reminders
* If you are feeling uneasy or uncertain
* Making contact, checking in, etc.
* Getting there and getting around
* Detailed instructions for local transportation
* Photography information and Guidelines
* What to do in case something is wrong
* Thanks!
* Things To Come and About Next Year

Registered attendees will receive an email when the Final Attendee
Information is rolled out.
. . . . .

Name tags:

For DLV 2020 you will have several options for name tags.

1. Have name tags printed on site for you at the On-Site Check-In or any
other activity marked "Name Tags Available" on the final schedule.

2. Print your own name tags at home and bring them with you. If you
need tag holders, they will be available at On-Site Check-In or any
activity marked "Name Tags Available" on the final schedule.

3. Bring your name tag from a prior DLV event. Once a valid name tag,
always a valid name tag.

Please be sure to have your DLV name tag with you while you attend, as
DLV name tags may be required for admission to some activities as well
as to get certain promotional discounts.
. . . . .

Making contact and checking in:

One of the major differences between Diva Las Vegas and other TG events
is that we do not have a permanent "office" or check-in desk. You may
check in at any activity marked "Check-In Available" on the final
schedule.

During the peak check-in days of Sunday and Monday, DLV on-site check-in
will be available at scheduled times at the Garden Bar at the Flamingo.
Please see the final schedule for these times.

Check-in will also be available at the Monday evening festivities.
