DLV 2023 dates are final:

The big news is that during our recently-closed Call For Comments, no
significant issues regarding the tentative DLV 2023 dates were reported,
so the timespan of Sunday, October 22 thru Friday, October 27 (with
optional extension thru Sunday, October 29) may be considered final.

The only comments which were received were personal preferences for
other timespans.
. . . . . . . . . .

Welcome to those who just joined our list! We're looking forward to
seeing you in person this coming October.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Simply reply
to this mailing.

Group hotel rates for DLV 2023:

We are moving! One door north, that is.

Our primary suggested hotel for Diva Las Vegas 2023 will be the Linq,
which is just north of the Flamingo, which has been our primary hotel
for the last few years.

Why are we moving, you ask?

Three reasons: Price, price, and price!

Under the DLV 2023 group rate plan, the base rate at the Linq with a
check-in on Sunday and a check-out on Friday will be less than $500.

Our folks have stayed at the Linq ever since it was remodeled and no
significant issues have been reported.

For those who may be concerned about the long-lingering slow elevator
issue prior to the remodel, it has been confirmed that the issue is
fixed.

We are expecting to have bookable group rates for DLV attendees within
the next week or so.

A general mailing will be sent out after the group rate plan is active.

As always, with DLV, you are free to stay wherever you wish. We have no
requirements regarding where you stay as a DLV attendee.

Thanks again to Cami for coordinating group hotel rates for DLV!

On the activity front:

Although our daily schedule is in its infancy and working schedules are
not ready to be posted, here's a summary of the plans so far ...

Our first large gathering will happen on Tuesday evening, October
24, at the Bahama Breeze, which has been our usual venue for this
big "Opener" gathering for many years.

We are currently looking at options for a second major gathering, to
occur Thursday or Friday evening.

Monday will be our "Downtown Day" with many of the activities occurring
in the vicinity of downtown Las Vegas.

Pickleball and a side trip to the nearby Seven Magic Mountains will
happen on Wednesday.

The Pool Party is scheduled for Thursday.

Golf will most likely be happening on Thursday, but this is tentative
as of this writing.

Recurring daily activities will include our daily lunch (with some new
twists this year) and an informal common gathering each evening.

Many more activities are in the works. Stay tuned for details.

Things to come:

Minimum-click re-registration and new attendee registration for DLV 2023
is scheduled to begin in late June or early July of 2023. The details
will be announced as the date approaches.
. . . . .

Activity Sign-Up (that's when you tell us which of the many optional
activities you want to do) will roll out in late September or early
October.

Most of our activities are "No Sign-Up, Just Show Up" in nature, meaning
that all you need to do to participate is to be a registered DLV 2023
attendee.

Some activities, however, require some kind of an advance sign-up,
headcount, reservation, and in some cases a pre-payment. These are
taken care of at Activity Sign-Up time.

Further information on Activity Sign-Up will be announced as the date
approaches.
. . . . .

We will be releasing our Final Attendee Information a bit earlier in
the cycle this year, roughly one week before the event is to begin.
. . . . .

DLV Group Text for the coming event will have two options. One is to
receive official announcements and updates only, for those who do not
wish to receive the attendee chit-chat, and the other is full access,
which will include announcements plus attendee texts.
