Arrival: Fri Mar 16th, midnight (probably) (Leaving here tonight at 10-ish (probably)). Depends on if an earlier flight looks good.
Location: Imperial Palace, but not the Luv Tub suite. :(
Transportation: Taxi, I guess? Shuttle? Monorail? Pogo stick?
Plan to Attend: Meet-up thingy. Scrabble invitational. Games of Trois Homme.
Main Games: Nickel slots. As "Thelma." Unless there are penny slots. Because that's the kind of hardcore gambler I am.
Additional info: Plan to outpace everyone else with my partying alcohol Boone's Strawberry Hill consumption. These plans are flexible, depending on availability of Boone's. Some alcoholic product that fits comfortably in a paper sack may substitute.
Not big on seeing shows except the most awesomest show in Vegas (http://www.lvhilton.com/entertainment/manilow.shtml), but this plan is contingent on winning the huge penny-slot bucks.

Arrival: Saturday ~7 PM. Going back home Tuesday, so if anyone is staying late we could hang out sometime on Monday if you wanted.
Loc: Bill's Gamblin Hall (changed to this because it's now available and cheaper)
Trans: I will have a car. It can fit 5 people. I won't be driving it much because I'll be too busy getting hammered, most likely. But, if we want to go somewhere and we ain't drunk yet...I can help transport. I'll be with two other people though, so I can fit all of two of you (or half of four of you) if we all go. Uber helpful, I know.
Plan to Attend: Meet up on Saturday, and anything after that that is cheap, and sounds relatively fun.
Main Games: NL hold'em, cheap 1/2 cash games at the palace, if I do well, tournies anywhere.
Additional Info: I have no cell phone. My friends goin with me do though, so maybe we should still exhange numbers before people leave.

So the outcome of this will follow some suitable INTP extremes?!
Either everyone will hate everyone else irl, or everyone will be jumping down everyone else's pants...heh
(oh apart from Rajah who is not a woman of extremes :)

(oh apart from Rajah who is not a woman of extremes :)Oh yeah? Well, I am extremely upset about the Luv Tub debacle! That room could have been mine.

Depends on the availability of Boone's, the beverage of choice for 16-year-old drunks everywhere. Without it, I'm totally composed.
The other answer is, not so much. I'll be busy being hall monitor for these kiddos.

With all of these Middle-Eastern themed hotels such as The Sands, The Dunes, Aladdin, etc. it's too bad that you couldn't find one simply called the Rajah and be paid to come meet your fans. Certainly they'd give you the best room, including Luv-Tubs etc.

Certainly they'd give you the best room, including Luv-Tubs etc.You'd think! But they were utterly unimpressed at the Aladdin when I pulled the Rajah card. They were all, "ha ha," and I was all, "Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am?"

I am now only going with one other person, thus I can drive three people. Woohoo!
Also, I am no longer stalking Rajah and will be staying at Bill's Gamblin' Hall. Because it's cheaper and it's called Bill's Gamblin' Hall.

Arrival: You think I'm a J or something? Either tonight (who knows) or tomorrow (certain). I'm coming from the south on I-15 after a jaunt through the Mojave desert. I may be very red by the time I make it there.
Location: I'm only staying if someone has a spare couch/bed/etc, otherwise I'll go north on 15 and stay in like Mesquite or Cedar City or Moab or something. My friends in town have their son over for the weekend, therefore their spare bedroom isn't available.
Transportation: Automobile
PLAN TO ATTEND: Evening thing at the bar, provided I survive the walk there from wherever in the boondocks I end up parking.
Main Games: Gambling is for people that are bad at math and logic. Those crazy casinos are not built out of the kindness of some mob boss's heart.
Additional info: PM me to swap contact information. file cabinet and Rajah have my information...

Erm... So, I'm here in Las Vegas, on the top of the parking structure, after I couldn't find anyone anywhere in there. I assume they're not online, so I have no clue how to raise them.
Oh yes, my cell configuration is still messed up. Argh. I tried to call, but he couldn't hear me, and I'm still sweating from the stress of being in there...maybe this was a stupid idea.

They're a damn bunch of flaky Ps. They probably were sidetracked by all the pretty lights and glittery stuff. If you don't find them soon, though, I'm going to feel kinda bad for you.
**Oh yeah, you should also kick some ass.

I now have two voice messages, presumably from them. It's after midnight, I'd bet they're not there anymore... I got stuck in some huge 20-mile traffic jam out on 95. The cops just had it blocked for some reason, and I finally made it past the block by taking a side road and trusting in the GPS.

Damn straight. This town is totally stupid. It's like they took stupid and concentrated it as much as possible, then made a city out of it. The people/driving/etc is so stupid it hurts. I mean, think about it, they attract the gamblers (a very stupid set) from the entire country...then mix them with the idiots in town (and that's about all they have here). It's a recipe for disaster.

The wireless is freaking amazing, too. I'm in my car getting it at over a half a mile away.

Wolf had thought that meeting up with some of his fellow INTPcers would be a fun and exciting way to get to know new people on more intimate level. He was full of excitement and giddiness upon embarking on his journey out into the desert of the American Southwest, and was dazzled beyond comprehension at the sight of the oasis which is Las Vegas, Nevada, looming toward him out of the rippling heat. "This is it!" he thought with glee as a smile lit across his cherubim face!
A little while later, Wolf found himself parked near one of the myriad "pleasure domes" of the city, contemplating just what exciting new adventure he should embark upon first, when suddenly it struck him. Wolf went cold in his stomach and felt the uncontrollable urge to postpone real human contact and the symphony of slot machines for the lure of the Wireless. Reaching for his computer and turning it on, Wolf inadvertently sealed his fate of an evening devoid of contact, and therefore, any sort of fun whatsoever. Mesmerized by the Siren call, poor Wolf sat at the mercy of the Wireless for hours until finally he realized it was time to leave Las Vegas for the rest of his desert pursuits. He blinked the fatigue from is eyes, disconnected his soul from the Wireless, turned his car on, and drove away. Wolf never got to experience anything remotely fun that night, thanks to his insatiable appetite for his computer and the Wireless.

I was following that sub-thread - I was hoping he was going to find one of those video slots websites...

Actually, it was due to a number of things that I missed the 8PM thing. It took me a dementedly long time to make it a mere 250 or so miles due to the jam I mentioned (wasted over an hour) and the traffic in Palm Springs. I could write so much about the traffic in Palm Springs...
I always get faked out by it, I've never made it across the desert in the time I expect to unless I drive on major highways.
I figured out that sending text messages was the only thing that worked on my cell. So, I sent and got a lot of text messages... I met up with file cabinet and Wiki at the Rio after running all over Vegas following confusing text messages, and I ended up staying with Wiki at the Rio.
