April DLV 2023 update:

Welcome to those who just joined our mailing list. We're looking
forward to seeing you in person this coming October. If you have any
questions or concerns, please let us know. Just reply to any of these
mailings.
. . . . .

Information on how to book your room under the DLV 2023 rate plan
appears below. This is live as of this time.
. . . . .

Diva Las Vegas 2023 will consist of two parts, the "Main Event", from
Sunday, October 22, through Friday, October 27, plus an "Extended Event"
covering the following Friday and Saturday, for those who wish to stay
over the following weekend.

The majority of the activities will be happening during the "Main Event"
between Sunday and Friday.

Plans for DLV 2023 are moving along very smoothly and ahead of schedule.
Big thanks go out to our volunteer force for making this so!

DLV 2023 group rates at the Linq:

The big news is that the group rates for DLV 2023 at the Linq are now
live and bookable.

For those who have not yet gotten the word, we will be "moving" to the
Linq for DLV 2023. This is one door north of the Flamingo, which we
have used as our primary hotel for the last few years.

If you do not wish to stay at the Linq for some reason, you don't have
to. You may stay anywhere you wish for DLV 2023.

To book your room at the Linq under the DLV 2023 rate plan, please use
the following link:

https://book.passkey.com/go/sqdiv3

In the event you have any difficulty booking your room, please email
dlv@divalas.vegas and Cami will assist you.

PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to phone in your reservation to the main Linq
reservation number in lieu of using the link above, you will be charged
a US$15.00 "Convenience Fee" in addition to the price of your room.

Rooms are limited in number under this plan and subject to availability.
First come, first served.

This rate plan will expire September 22, 2023.

Big thanks go out to Cami for coordinating the hotel group rates again
this year!

Activity notes:

Although our schedule is very much in a state of flux at this time, here
are some notes regarding some of the significant activities on the
slate.

Our first major 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.

Thanks go out to Delaney for host(ess)ing this activity again this year.
. . .

Preliminary plans are looking promising for a second major gathering,
happening on Thursday evening, at a nearby Strip venue.
. . .

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

If circumstances warrant, Downtown Day may be moved to another day of
the week. This will be clearly announced if it should be necessary.
. . .

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 still
tentative as of this time.
. . .

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

Additions to our schedule of activities are happening regularly, and
as soon as the working schedule becomes semi-stable, we will begin
posting schedule summaries in these mailings.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Things to come:

If we continue to run ahead of schedule, some of these target dates may
be moved earlier. Watch these mailings for any announcements.

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.
