Holiday Wishes:

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year to you and yours
from the organizers and volunteers of DLV.

We're sincerely hoping to see you in person for Diva Las Vegas 2015
next March!

This mailing was delayed in order that we could include the discount
rate at the Flamingo Hotel that is offered to DLV attendees. Please
see note below. Big thanks go out to Beverly for negotiating and
facilitating this arrangement!

Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, this will be the last general DLV
mailing for 2014. Mailings will resume shortly after the new year.
. . . . . . . . . .

Plans are proceeding on target for DLV 2015.

Two major gatherings are planned, to occur on Monday and Friday of DLV
week. Activities will be a good mix of new items and old favorites.

Many of the activities occurring on Sunday of DLV week will be centered
around downtown Las Vegas.

We will be publishing Activity Highlight articles in the DLV Discussion
Forum periodically after the first of the year as activity details are
finalized.

Suggested hotels for Diva Las Vegas 2015:

For Diva Las Vegas there is no requirement that you stay in any
particular hotel. Unlike most other TG events, we are not centered
around a hotel, and hotels are used mainly for attendee lodging.

We do, however, make hotel suggestions, mainly for those who do not know
the area, and for those who want to be in the proximity of other DLV
attendees.

This year we are suggesting the following hotels (in alphabetical order)
for DLV 2015 attendees:

* Flamingo
* Four Queens
* Paris

Further information on our suggested hotels for DLV 2015 appears here:

http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlv2015/2015hotels.html

A special rate is offered to DLV 2015 attendees who will be staying
at the Flamingo. Please see item immediately below.

Of special note this year is the Four Queens. This is the first time in
our history that we have suggested a downtown Las Vegas hotel. This is
very much an "experiment" to see how well a downtown hotel works for our
people.

We DO NOT suggest the Four Queens for those who will not be driving a
vehicle and do not have pre-arranged rides to Diva Las Vegas activities.

In the event that none of our suggested hotels appeal to you, you may
use the following two Big List items as secondary lists of hotels from
which to choose for DLV 2015:

There's also quite a bit of discussion regarding hotels for DLV 2015 on
the Diva Las Vegas Discussion Forum. The direct link to the hotel thread

Special DLV 2015 Rates at Flamingo Las Vegas:

The Flamingo Las Vegas is offering a special rate to attendees of Diva
Las Vegas of $65.00 (us) flat-rate per night covering the nights of
Sunday, March 22 through Saturday, March 29, 2015.

This offers a significant saving over the rates at the Flamingo which
are available to the general public. Please note that the nights of
Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28, which are normally priced much
higher, are included in this offer.

To book your room using this offer, please visit the following:

https://resweb.passkey.com/go/SFDLV5

For guests that prefer to phone in their reservations, you may call the
Reservation Center at 1-888-373-9855 to secure a reservation on our
group block. Currently, the name of the group is listed as "Diva Las
Vegas 2015."

Callers may also use your group code to identify the group: SFDLV5

Please note that guests may make reservations in the block at group rate
until February 1, 2015.

Notes about this offer:

1. Booking a room under this offer will not register you for
participation in Diva Las Vegas. You will need to register for DLV
separately.

2. The number of rooms available under this offer is limited and rooms
will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. The offer will
expire February 1, 2015.

3. Please note that a booking under this offer constitutes a private
arrangement between you and the Flamingo (CET) property and that DLV
organizers and volunteers are not responsible for any issues you may
encounter. Any difficulties regarding your room or booking must be
referred directly to the above phone number or yo the Flamingo staff.

4. If you have already booked the Flamingo at a higher rate, in most
cases it will be possible to re-book using this lower rate. It is
suggested that you first book your stay using the above phone number or
URL and after you receive your confirmation number, cancel your original
reservation using the method you used to originally book it.

5. The $65 rate does not include taxes, fees (such as Resort Fee) or any
other incidental charges.

Attendee Information Portal:

For DLV 2015, several tasks that you will do on line will be streamlined
and simplified.

When you register, you will receive one link which will be your gateway
to most of the functions that you will need to do on line. This is the
Attendee Information Portal.

This will be the only link that you will need to access most of the
on-line functions necessary for participation in our event.

You will use this for such things as registering for the 2015 event,
updating your registration, signing up for activities when activity
sign-up opens, accessing the Final Attendee Information such as maps,
schedules, contact numbers, etc.

For 2015 you will also be able to conveniently review and update your
activity sign-ups at any time. The activity sign-up screen will tell you
in real time if space is available for activities and a link will be
provided on the sign-up screen for further activity information.

After the event, you will use this same link to do such things as take
our post-event survey, rate our vendors, upload photos for our follow-up
pages, and, very importantly, volunteer to help out with future DLV
events.

Things to come:

Our start date for Diva Las Vegas 2015 is March 22, making this the
earliest in the calendar year of any of our events in our history.

Therefore, many of the milestones and checkpoints we pass on our way to
DLV will occur earlier in the year than they have in the past.
. . . . . . . . . .

Re-registration for those who have previously attended one of our events
will open in mid December.

Most of you who have attended in recent years will receive your express
re-registration e-mail toward the middle of December. This will contain
the link to your Attendee Information Portal as described above. This
will allow you to quickly re-register for DLV 2015 with very little
formality.

New attendee registration for members of this list (if you are reading
this via your own e-mail, this includes you) will open in early January.

If you're a MyDLV member, you can register or re-register at your
convenience by using the "Attendee Information Portal" link on the
main MyDLV screen.
. . . . .

Sign-up for activities will begin on or about March 1 and will be
accessed via the Attendee Information Portal.
