Registration and misc. notes:

Welcome newcomers. We have several new people this week. Yes, there is
still time to get in on the fun, but don't procrastinate!

Early this coming week we will be sending out the registration confirmation
to everybody who has registered. Please look this over, and if there are
any changes, please use the url: http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/update.html
to make the changes on line.

If you have registered and do not get one of these by Wednesday, please
let us know, email: dlv@geekbabe.com and state that you have not
received your confirmation.

IF YOU DON'T GET ONE, YOUR REGISTRATION HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED PROPERLY.

Likewise, if you get two or more of these, please send both (all)
numbers in via e-mail so we can eliminate the bad one(s). I think this
has been taken care of, but ...

If you haven't registered and plan to attend, please do so. Just fill
out the form at http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/register.html and you will
be all set.

FINAL MAILINGS, SCHEDULES, DIRECTIONS, AND CONTACT INFORMATION WILL ONLY
BE SENT TO THOSE WHO HAVE REGISTERED. Don't get left out!

Late night gambling:

>Let's talk about where we want to go gambling at 2 AM on a Friday night
>(actually a Saturday very early morning) after a wild night of drinking
>and dancing (or maybe moderate drinking and wild dancing, depending on
>your preferences).

>Some questions that come to mind:
> -- Where?
> -- What kind (any preferences of table games versus slots)?

>I'm going to make an assumption here that it is the experience of
>gambling while dressed that people want, as opposed to the thrill of
>high-stakes hardcore gambling. (At least people tell me it's thrilling.
>Since I usually lose, I get more disgusted than thrilled, but that's
>another story.)

>Seriously, I'm guessing that we will have players in all types of price
>ranges, so we may want to consider a place that has like:
> - quarter slots
> - 2 dollar (or less!!) minimum pass line bets at craps
> - low minimum bets at roulette (the utlimate ladies game, I love it!!)
> - 5 dollar (or less) blackjack bets

>Remember, this is the weekend, so Strip casinos raise the minimum bets.
>The crowds may start to thin out around 2 AM, although it is the weekend
>so it should still be prettty crowded. It often doesn't really seem to
>get vacant until around 5 or 6 AM.

>Where should we go? Strip or downtown? Should we go to a place
>(Tropicana, Frontier, Imperial Palace, Sahara) that we have other DLV
>events at, so that people can be in familiar surroundings?

>Or, should we throw caution to the winds (not to mention a few dollars)
>and go to a really fancy place (Caesar's, Bellagio, others??) to see and
>be seen?

>Girls: please contribute your thoughts on how you might like to do this?

If I may put in my $.02 here ...
