Welcome and updates:
First of all, a big welcome to those of you who just registered or just
joined this mailing list! We're looking forward to seeing all of you in
person in March.
If you have any questions or concerns, please ask.
Most of the questions we receive via email are already answered, often
in depth, in our Frequently Asked Questions section on the web here:
http://divalas.vegas/faq/
If you need more detail or clarity, or have questions that are not
covered, please let us know. Just reply to this mailing and ask!
. . . . .
As of Saturday morning our registered headcount stands at 131.
For those keeping track, yes, this is somewhat higher than we had last
year at this time.
It's still much too early for any kind of a final headcount projection.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What you need to do:
One of the most important things to keep in mind is that if anything is
unclear to you or something does not happen as you expect, that you let
us know about it! The sooner the better! If you don't understand any
aspect of our event, please let us know and we'll clear it up for you.
If an email does not arrive when it's expected, please report it and we
will find out why.
The big thing you'll need to do if you wish to participate in DLV is to
register for the event, if you have not done so already. You can
register on line here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi
Signing up for MyDLV or joining the Yahoo group will not register you to
attend the event. Registering via the link above is the one that counts.
. . . . .
You'll also need to make your travel and lodging arrangements.
We're suggesting the Flamingo, Paris, and Four Queens hotels for DLV
2016 attendees.
You can stay wherever you want, however. There is no requirement that
you use our suggested hotels.
Further info on our suggested hotels is on line here:

Big Sister appeal:
Delaney (Big Sister Coordinator) writes:
DLV is about six weeks away, and we are in a deficit position of
volunteers to serve as Big Sisters.
Most girls looking for Big Sisters need only minimal assistance, often
just to "get started".
Please consider helping a new girl out - it is a rewarding experience,
and you may find a new friend as well!
Please sign up to be a Big Sister via the Attendee Information Portal.
This is the link you received when you registered to attend.
Thanks Delaney

On the activity front:
Although our working schedule appears in each of these mailings, it's
still very incomplete. We're adding to it all the time as our volunteers
finalize the details of our various activities.
. . . . .
Plans are moving along on two very special activities in our lineup for
DLV 2016.
Wednesday will include a very special evening of fun, entertainment,
friendship and surprises at the Erotic Heritage Museum. Big thanks go
out to Marisa, Linda, Valorie, Sherry, Michelle, and others, with
special thanks to Dr Victoria, Curator of the Museum, for putting
together what will certainly be a memorable first for Diva Las Vegas.
On Thursday evening we'll have our very special 20th. Annual
Celebration! Yes, we're celebrating our 20th. year of DLV.
Further details of this will be announced shortly.
. . . . .
On Monday evening we'll have our annual Welcome Celebration. Immediately
prior will be our New Attendee Welcome and Orientation.
On Wednesday morning we'll have a field trip to visit the Shiloh Horse
Rescue project. This is an encore of a very highly-rated "outdoorsy"
activity which we had in 2011. Photos from the 2011 activity are on line
here:
http://divalas.vegas/dlv2011n/shiloh.html
Big thanks go out to Vera and Dennis for coordinating the Shiloh tour!
On Saturday we'll be spending the day and evening in Downtown Las Vegas.
. . . . .
We have three daily recurring get-togethers.
Every morning we'll have Katie's Koffee Korner. This is currently
featured in an Activity Highlight on line. See below.
Around noon we'll have Lunch With Ginger or Lunch With Aejaie at various
locations.
We'll have Late Evening Dancing most evenings.
We have started to post Activity Highlights on the DLV Discussion
Forum on line here:
index.php
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Rooms and roommates:
One of our goals for our coming event is to control costs, and the cost
of lodging is one of the most significant parts of the total cost of
participation in Diva Las Vegas.
Sharing a room with another attendee cuts that cost in half! Likewise,
sharing a room with two others cuts the cost by 2/3.
Our Big Sister Team, headed up by Delaney, our Big Sister Coordinator,
will be coordinating room sharing for DLV 2016.
You can sign up for roommate matching when you register for DLV 2016 or
any time after.
. . . . . . . . .
To request a roommate:
1. Visit your Attendee Information Portal. This will be the link that
you received when you registered or re-registered for DLV 2016.
2. Click on the green "Update Registration" tile.
3. Click on the "Roommate Matching" button toward the lower right of the
screen.
4. Fill in the requested information. This includes items such as if you
have a room that you wish to share, or if you need space in someone
else's room; if you smoke, snore, etc., and some various other items so
our Big Sister Team can match you with someone compatible. There's a
space for notes in case you want to give additional information.
5. Don't forget to click on the "Submit Information" button at the
bottom of the roommate screen!
The Big Sister Team will then review your information and use it to
select potential roommate matches for you.
If you have any questions, concerns, or issues, please send an email
to: roommate@divalas.vegas
. . . . . . . . .
Disclaimer:
Please remember that room sharing is a good faith effort on all parts.
Also please remember that matched roommates assume all risks and
liabilities and that DLV organizers and volunteers will not be
responsible for such things as a roommate failing to show, failing to
pay, failing to make reservations, a roommate who does not get along
with you, does not make the room available to you, locks you out, such
things as loss of money or personal property, or in any other way things
don't work out.

Activity sign-up is coming:
For those of you who are registered to attend Diva Las Vegas 2016,
the next big milestone will be Activity Sign-up, which will happen
shortly after the first of March.
This is when you tell us which of the various optional activities you
want to do.
Most of our activities are "no sign-up, just show up" in nature, meaning
all you have to do to participate is be a registered DLV 2016 attendee.
Some of them, however, will need something such as a sign-up, a
headcount, and in some cases payment in advance. All of these are taken
care of at Activity Sign-up time.
Activity sign-up will be rolled out with a special mailing, shortly
after the first of March, to all registered to attend. Please be
watching for this and please prepare to make your optional activity
selections promptly, as some of the more popular ones do fill up fast.
