or if you know any low carb distributers or exercise products that would like to donate their items to the convention please let me know.

Once again, thanks
Gen

supplements are great as well

I still need 2 more people to register so I can put the deposit down on the meeting room.

Thanks so much!
Gen

I still need someone to answer the trivia question!!!!

Hey guys

As someone who has stayed at the Orleans I thought I'd forward some "things to think about" so you can plan appropriately

1. If there is a big enough group of you, you might want to think about renting some cars. There is a shuttle from the Orleans to the Strip but depending on the time of day, it can be hard to get on. And it only holds about 20 people.

And there is literally ONE shuttle from the Orleans to the Strip, so if you miss it, you have to wait for it to go round trip


2. The Orleans is a mile away from the Strip, as such we figured we'd be able to walk in if we wanted to (I'm a marathon runner so I'm not averse to walking!) However, this really isn't an option as they are very busy streets and it can be dangeous walking beside them. Also, the area between the Strip and the Orleans is a little seedy. Don't plan on walking in!


3. If you do take the shuttle, it can be faster to grab the shuttle to the Gold Coast (which is next to the Rio and 1/2 mile off the strip) and wait for the Gold Coast/Strip shuttle. Both of those trips are shorter than Orleans-Strip so a lot of times it is faster than waiting for the direct Orleans shuttle


4. As I've stated before, the Orleans buffet is not very good. The Rio has two excellent buffets, one of which is a seafood one that you can probably find a $10 coupon for (which would still make it expensive - its $35 regular) - but its INCREDIBLE. The Prime Rib Loft in the Orleans is pretty decent, and is a great price

5. Bring running shoes to walk around it. Throw style out the window for comfort, you will do a lot of walking!

6. The Orleans pool closes at 6pm daily


Hmm, I think thats all I can remember for now! Hope you guys have a good time, and hopefully some of these tips help

Hello all,

Just checking to see if any companies out there would be willing to donate fun free stuff as door prizes at our convention.

Anything would be great:

t-shirts
hats
mouse pads
pens
work out videos
jewelry
low carb food coupons
supplements
etc....

Thanks for helping make a 1st year a success!

Gen,

How many people have you got so far? I might be able to donate some kind of giveaway prize.

I'm also somewhat interested in attending this event myself. This being said, I'm wondering if it's ok for people to book into the hotel of their choice, or if you really need people to book into the Orleans.

I haven't read the whole thread, and perhaps I should - but I'm curious as to the $$$ and the dates.

Thanks,

Sara

Does anyone know if there are any possible plans for a 2007 meat & greet? Is it a yearly thing you guys do?

This is a first. If it's successful, hopefully there'll be a second.

We are definitely looking to make this a yearly thing.

Hey guys

When is the deadline for this? I'd be interested in going but I'd have to definately save up for it, so I'd like to know what my deadlines are so that I can look into it

Thanks

I know I know !!!!! I won't be able to make it this year .. but I know the answer ... Kin I guess ????

No deadline for several months, now as for the hotel, that all depends on if they fill up. You may want to book your room.

Sure, anyone can guess the trivia!!!!
