I suspect that the last week will be the least popular of the
proposed dates, both from the (real or perceived) impresssion
that once the May threshold is passed it becomes ungodly hot
in Las Vegas, and due to the proximity to Mothers Day, which
has historically been a "third rail" for us.

We've held DLV immediately after easter in the recent past
with little if any griping or push-back. (2003 and 2006 IIRC,
but I would have to do some quick moon phase calculations to
be sure.) :) It did not appear to impact our turnout at all,
plus it assured us that discount Peeps would be available
in abundance. :) :)
