Special DLV hotel rates:

Cami, one of our senior volunteers, has negotiated the best deal yet in
our history for rooms at the Flamingo, both during our event and for
several days (INCLUDING WEEKENDS!) before and after.

Rooms are available at the average nightly rate of $59 per night, plus
taxes and fees. This rate is for the Fab Deluxe rooms and some
higher-end rooms are available under this program for slightly higher
rates.

A six-night stay at the Flamingo, under this program, comes to only
$354, plus taxes and nuisance fees, of course. This is significantly
lower than what is being offered on the main Flamingo web site!

Booking your room and registering for the event are done separately.
Room reservations and DLV registration are now both open.

You do not need to stay at the Flamingo or any other particular hotel in
order to participate in DLV 2017. You may stay wherever you wish.
. . . . .

To reserve your room at the Flamingo under the special rate program,
please do the following:

Visit this URL on the web:

https://aws.passkey.com/go/sfdlv7

This will allow you to reserve your room on line.
. . . . . . . . . .

Rooms under this program are limited and subject to availability.

If you have any questions, concerns, or issues, please let us know by
emailing: dlv@divalas.vegas

New Attendee Welcome and Orientation:

If you are new to Diva Las Vegas, we very strongly suggest that you make
every effort to attend our New Attendee Orientation, which will be held
at 5:00pm on Monday of DLV week.

We encourage all who have never attended DLV before, especially those
who have been out many years and those familiar with other TG events, to
attend this session.

This will be an informal session between the new attendees and some of
the senior DLV volunteers. No, we're not going to lecture you! We'll
address any questions and concerns that you may have and we'll review
many of the things that will help you have a smoother and more enjoyable
event.

This will be in the same venue that will be used for our subsequent
opening evening festivities.

On the activity front:

Our preliminary daily schedule will not be ready for publication for a
few more weeks. However, here are some highlights, all subject to change
of course.

Our first large gathering, our Welcome Meet and Greet, including happy
hour and optional dinner (full menu available, separate checks
available) will happen on Monday evening of DLV week at the Bahama
Breeze, a favorite dining establishment of ours for many years.

The New Attendee Welcome and Orientation (see note above) will happen
just prior to these festivities.

Our second major gathering has been tentatively scheduled for Friday
evening (no reason to bail early this year due to higher room rates!)
but this is "in pencil" and subject to change.

Golf (regular outdoor) is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, but again
subject to change.

The Luv Ur Look Luncheon, co-sponsored by 2bshapely and Carla's
Boutique, will happen on Tuesday.

Social At The Center will also happen on Tuesday.

New for 2017 will be Topgolf (indoor golf), tentatively scheduled for
Wednesday afternoon.

Pistol and rifle shooting will happen on Thursday.

Three recurring daily get-togethers, Katie's Kozy Koffee Korner, "Lunch
With", and Late Night Dancing, are all on the schedule for most days.

Bare Minerals Makeovers (pay only for purchased items) will be available
all days including Sunday.

New and experimental for DLV 2017 will be on-site DLV check-in with a
DLV representative at the Flamingo during designated hours. We're trying
this to see how it works, following suggestions.

Please stay tuned for more details as they are planned.

Big thanks go our to our many volunteers for planning and coordinating
our activities!

Things to come:

Starting very shortly, we'll begin posting Activity Highlights on the
Diva Las Vegas Discussion Forum, which is available on line, via email,
or via the Yahoo group. The main URL is:

viewforum.php?f=2

Around the first week of March, we'll do activity sign-up. This is when
you tell us which of the many optional activities you would like to do.

Most of our activities are presented on a "no sign-up, just show up"
basis, but some will need some kind of a sign-up or headcount, and in a
few cases, advance payment. This will be done on line via the Attendee
Information Portal. Details will be posted as the date approaches.

This year we will be featuring two methods to help our people keep in
touch and keep on schedule.

The first is Activity Reminders, which will allow everyone to have brief
spam-free text messages sent to smart phones, tablets, email, etc. just
prior to (your choice of how far in advance) activity start times. You
will be able to choose the activities for which you will receive
reminders via your Attendee Information Portal.

Next is a full roll-out of Group Text. Everyone subscribing to this
service will be able to quickly and conveniently send and receive text
messages to all other subscribers via smart phones, email, etc. This can
be set up at activity sign-up time or via the Attendee Information
Portal.
