Unless circumstances change, this survey will most likely not be repeated next year.
Further comments are welcome.
. . . . . . . . . .
+How many times have you attended Diva Las Vegas in the past?
+Never: 12
+Once: 11
+Twice or more: 26
As with last year, the survey takers were heavily skewed toward those who have attended DLV in the past.
. . . . .
+Which of the following BEST describes your personal situation regarding
+your participation in this year's Diva Las Vegas?
+I took absolutely no action toward attending DLV 2013.: 24
+Made travel and/or lodging arrangements, did not travel to Las Vegas.: 7
+Registered on line, took no further action.: 6
+Registered and signed up for activities, took no further action.: 6
+Live in Las Vegas. I registered, but made no contact with the DLV group.: 4
+Traveled to Las Vegas, made no contact with the DLV group.: 1
About half of the respondents made no plans to attend.
+Traveled to Las Vegas, made no contact with the DLV group.: 1
This one always concerns me.
A trip to Las Vegas is certainly never wasted, but we would sure have loved to have the people who did not make contact in our company!. . . . .
+Which of the following factors BEST represents the PRIMARY reason why
+you did not participate in DLV 2013?
+Personal schedule conflicts.: 17
+Economic-affordability issues.: 14
+Unforeseen family event or emergency.: 5
+Illness or injury.: 3
+Difficulty getting time off.: 3
+Personal apprehension or unease.: 2
+Pressure from others to skip the event.: 1
+Heard bad things about DLV.: 0
+Personal conflicts with other attendees.: 0
+Decided to attend another event instead.: 0
Personal issues still came out on the top in regards to not attending.
Economic issues placed somewhat higher this year. The Great Recession still drags on!
Absolutely no at-faults or derogs this year!

+(how can one get to LV by rail, since it is not an AMTRAK stop? really
+too bad; the station was a true landmark -- first w/AC.)
This question has been around ever since we started doing surveys. At that time, Amtrak served Las Vegas via bus out of Kingman. I don't know if they still offer this service.
. . . . .
This next one is of some concern.
+drove down from elko my fault lost detail of event was unable to make
+contact an entire next day then gave up so drove the 500 mi or so back
+== sob sob === stayed at the big casino off I-80 and Sahara as their
+annex out back has parking next to rooms very convenient and have McD,
+et.al across the street or little way West on north side of Sahara..
+very very frustrated could not even find a PC to use to search for you
+all... sigh!
We do not want this to happen ever again! This shows the importance of making plans and arriving prepared! The LFM is good for you, and very tasty too!
Nunquam non paratus, please!. . . . .
+Airlines priced me out of attending this year. Lowest I could get was
+over 400. Driving was more expensive since I need to take off two days
+each way.
Yes, airline prices are up! I'm very sure this has hurt our attendance in recent years. My own airfare was up from previous years. Unfortunately this trend may continue.
. . . . . . . . . .
That's about it for this one this year! Thanks to all who participated in the survey.
