2 weeks 2 go:

Welcome to all who just registered or just joined our mailing list.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Yes, you can still get in on things. See "What you need to do" below.

We're now entering our "crunch time" just prior to the event.

As we approach the big event, it becomes more important to ask those
questions and clarify those issues sooner rather than later. If you have
any questions or concerns, please let us know right away! Just email
dlv@divalas.vegas or simply reply to this mailing.

If you have not yet registered and you want to get in on things, yes,
there is still time but you need to act NOW. Visit this URL:

http://divalas.vegas/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi

Click on the "Registration" button and follow the prompts.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity sign-up is in progress:

Everyone who registered for DLV prior to Friday morning should have now
received their activity sign-up mailings.

IF YOU REGISTERED PRIOR TO FRIDAY AND DID NOT
RECEIVE THIS, SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WE NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT IT! IF THIS IS THE CASE FOR YOU,
PLEASE LET US KNOW. JUST REPLY TO THIS MAILING.

The activity sign-up mailing will contain a link to your Attendee
Information Portal and instructions on how to sign up for optional
activities.

Those who registered on Friday or later will receive an activity sign-up
mailing this Sunday.

Please be sure that you complete your activity selections as soon as you
can!

Signing up for activities is not optional, please! It also reconfirms
your intent to attend. If you don't want to do any of the activities
on the sign-up screen, just go directly to the bottom and click the
"SUBMIT" button. This lets us know that you're still alive and planning
to attend.

Please promptly report any issues, errors, unclear items, etc., when
signing up for activities.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity capacity:

As of this writing, the following activities are full and are in a
waiting list state:

Carmine's dining option, Tuesday evening.
Big Lift Bar Crawl, Tuesday evening.
Trevi dining option, Friday evening.

The following activities are approaching full but currently have a few
spaces available:

Virgil's dining option, Sunday evening.
Topgolf, Thursday afternoon.
Margaritaville dining option, Friday.

All activities not listed above still have adequate capacity.

If you're disappointed by finding something full that you want to do,
please check your Activity Sign-Up screen frequently, as changes and
cancellations do occur.

If you find that you are on a waiting list for one or more activities,
specific waiting list instructions will appear on the Activity Sign-Up
screen and in the "Late Notices" section of the Final Attendee
Information.

What you need to do:

It's getting close, but yes, there's still time to get in on our big DLV
2018 event. The clock is ticking, and prices for transportation and
hotel rooms are rising and some hotels are selling out.

Here's a summary of the steps you need to take if you want to join us:

1. Register for the DLV 2018 event. You may register on line here:

http://divalas.vegas/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi

MyDLV members may register using the Attendee Information Portal link on
the main MyDLV screen.
. . . . .

2. Sign up for activities. See further information above.
. . . . .

3. Make your travel and lodging arrangements.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!

Prices are rising and hotels are filling up!

Information about our suggested hotels for DLV 2018 is here:

http://divalas.vegas/dlv2018/2018hotels.html
. . . . .

4. Plan your wardrobe.

Specific dress suggestions for every DLV activity will appear on the
final detailed schedule.

If you have any questions on what is and is not appropriate to wear to
anything, a good place to get an answer is the DLV Discussion Forum.

A good reference, of course, are the photos from prior events, going
all the way back to 1997. You can view these here:

http://divalas.vegas/

. . . . .

5. Join us and have a great time!

You can "check in" at all of the major DLV activities and many of the
smaller ones. If you have concerns or just want to know exactly how to
meet the group, phone our contact people. The numbers will be included
in the Final Attendee Information.

Activity Highlight - High Tea:

On Friday afternoon at 2:30 PM at the Veranda restaurant at the Four
Seasons Hotel we will be having our annual High-Tea.

This will last about 1 1/2 hours.

The High-Tea is an event where you can wear a nice outfit in the middle
of the day and have a nice quiet talk with other attendees.

During the High-Tea you will have a wide selections of hot teas to drink
and an assortment of scones, finger sandwiches and desserts. It can be
quite filling.

The cost will be $45 and payment must be made by Tuesday of DLV week by
noon.

A PayPal account is available and the payment details appear on the
Activity Sign-Up screen.

I should also add that valet parking is available for those driving (the
closest parking lot is next door at the Mandalay Bay - little bit of a
hike).

My name is Marilyn and my cell phone number will be available on most
versions of the final DLV 2018 schedule.
