She even knows I'm a lowly freight dog, and still hasn't run away!

Doug Taylor · December 27th, 2006, 17:15

Not lowly. Noble my friend.

I flew with a former AMF captain a few weeks ago and he had mad skillz.

Kristie · December 27th, 2006, 17:20

so doug, what do you think about vegas on sat or sun?

Doug Taylor · December 27th, 2006, 17:24

Could. You want to call the 'regular' hotel there?

Driving -- ok. Airport -- bad juju.

Kristie · December 27th, 2006, 17:47

i doubt the "regular" hotel has rooms open at the "regular" rate!

plus, it would be more fun being down IN the action cuz getting a taxi and/or drivign the strip (esp since it'll be closed) is going to be near impossible!

Yeah, we're probably going to stay on the strip, too. I thought about driving down and staying in our crew apartment, but its up in North Vegas, and I have zero interest in trying to drive around there.

I haven't booked anything yet, because I've been watching prices on hotels.com for places on the strip for the past week, and they've actually been going down.

Kristie · December 27th, 2006, 18:33

yeah.. i'm seeing some $240-$500 prices... excalibur looks ok at $245 but that's still awfully high for one night....then again, maybe i'm just cheap! haha

EatSleepFly · December 28th, 2006, 11:07

Well, if you want to split something, we'd be cool with that. Up to you. I think we're staying on the strip regardless. Last year I sat in my empty apartment and went to bed at 10pm on NYE... have to make up for my lameness this year!

Excalibur is down to $227, Luxor and Aladdin are $300, NY-NY is $339.

I'm probably going to book something late tonight when I get home, so if you're interested in splitting and have any preference, let me know. I think we're planning on staying both Saturday and Sunday nights.

EatSleepFly · December 28th, 2006, 17:13

OK, we have a hotel now, but she booked it since I was waiting until the last possible minute to see if the prices kept going down and she was worried we wouldn't get one. Now she won't tell me which one, just that it's on the strip! Doh!

So I'll be there from Saturday morning until Monday night... if anyone's going to be around and wants to meet up, send me a PM and I'll give you my cell #.

Kristie · December 28th, 2006, 17:21

but you don't know what hotel? what side of the strip is it on...old or new?

EatSleepFly · December 28th, 2006, 17:54

She does, I don't, she won't tell me... apparently it's a surprise. New side, it sounds like.

Are you guys coming?

Kristie · December 28th, 2006, 19:10

probably won't know till tomorrow or saturday.. doug gets home tonight and he's not gonna have an answer tonight... he'll be like "gee, i don't know...i just got home!!"

Kristie · December 31st, 2006, 14:53

well, there's no way we're gonna make it. Doug is down with a pretty good fever and is still sleeping right now.

Have fun for us though!! we'll be sitting it home in front of the boob tube tonight!

EatSleepFly · January 3rd, 2007, 18:06

Sorry we missed you, it was a good time!

Hope you are feeling better, Doug!
