Schedule notes:
By request, we've extended the DLV 2020 schedule by one day.
Our "official" DLV 2020 dates are now Sunday, March 29 thru Saturday,
April 4, 2020.
. . . . . . . . . .
Although our working schedule will not be ready for preliminary
publication for at least a few weeks, things are taking shape and here
are some of the major activities that are becoming solid as to timeslot.
Our first major gathering will be happening on Monday evening of DLV
week. This will be at the Bahama Breeze, where it's been for the past
few years.
New Attendee Welcome and Orientation will be happening just prior to the
first major gathering.
Our second major gathering will be happening on Thursday evening of DLV
week. This will happen at the new Hamburger Mary's, on Flamingo Road
just east of Maryland Parkway.
** Please note that separate checks WILL be available at both of our
major gatherings this year! **
Golf will most likely be happening on Tuesday morning and afternoon.
Tennis will most likely be happening on Wednesday morning.
The Limo Tour will most likely be happening Wednesday evening.
Many other activities are in the works. Stay tuned for details!

Big Sisters:
Big Sisters are veteran DLV attendees who have volunteered to help those
who are new and feel they may need some personal guidance and assistance
prior to and while attending DLV.
If you are new and wish to have the services of a Big Sister (or even a
returnee who feels the need) you can sign up to have a Big Sister via
the Attendee Information Portal.
Once you have registered, simply return to the Attendee Information
Portal, which is the link that you will receive shortly after you
register, click on the green "Registration" tile and then on the "Big
Sister" button. Answer a few questions and Delaney, our Big Sister
Coordinator, will be in touch with you.
. . . . .
If you are a returning attendee and want to volunteer to help others as
a Big Sister, please do likewise as above.
One special note is that for DLV 2020 and years in the future, those who
volunteer to be Big Sisters will be granted voting status in the DLV
Volunteer Group for the current year. This is subject to some
conditions and the details appear at this link:
https://divalas.vegas/administ/motion6.html

Hotel notes:
For DLV 2020 we will be trying an "experiment" regarding hotel
suggestions.
We will be suggesting one and only one hotel, the Flamingo, for our DLV
2020 attendees.
It's our intent to remove any sense of confusion regarding where the
majority of our attendees will be staying, to promote a greater sense of
camaraderie, to give our people maximum opportunities for interaction
with one-another, to allow greater opportunities to share rides to DLV
activities and to provide convenient informal meeting and get-together
opportunities.
The Flamingo is a very large long-standing midscale hotel-casino located
right in the heart of the center Strip area. DLV attendees have used
the Flamingo ever since 1998 and no issues have been reported.
Special group rates for DLV 2020 attendees are available. Details
appear immediately below.
On-site Diva Las Vegas event check-in (including name tag / holder
distribution) will be available at the Flamingo during designated hours
on Sunday and Monday of DLV week.
. . . . .
Special rates for DLV 2020 at Flamingo:
Discount group rates for DLV 2020 attendees are available and are
bookable now! Available rates for DLV week are $55, 55, 55, 55, 55, 127
for the span of Sunday through Friday nights. As of this writing, these
rates are about $20 less per night than cold-call and nonpromotional web
rates.
To book your room under the DLV 2020 plan, please visit the following

In the event that the Flamingo does not meet your needs, please check
out the Casino-Hotel and Non-gaming Hotel sections on our Big List for
other possibilities.

What you need to do:
For those who are new, the steps you need to take if you want to attend
DLV can be summed up as:
1. Read the web site (https://divalas.vegas/) to be sure you know what
Diva Las Vegas is, what it is not, and if DLV is something you would
want to attend. Please note that DLV is not based on the model used for
most of the other major TG events.
2. Register for DLV. Registration is now open. See registration URL
above. (MyDLV members may register or re-register at their convenience
by following the "Attendee Information Portal" link.)
3. Make your travel and/or hotel reservations, if necessary. Info on
our suggested hotels is on line and a summary appears below. Please
note the offer for special rates at the Flamingo.
4. Show up and have a great time!
Simple, isn't it?
Any questions? Concerns? Please let us know. Just reply to this
mailing.

Things to come:
You can expect our general mailings to come out every 1-2 weeks as
needed between now and the date of the big event.
In each mailing, new and important items will always appear first and
any reminder or rotational occurring items will appear after.
. . . . .
On or about March 1 we will begin our Activity Sign-Up process. This is
where you tell us which of the optional activities at DLV that you want
to do.
Many of our activities are on a "No sign-up, just show up" basis, but a
number of them will require such things as a reservation, a headcount,
a prepayment in some cases, or some additional action required. These
are covered at Activity Sign-Up time.
Further details on Activity Sign-Up will appear as the date approaches.
. . . . .
In the middle of the week just prior to DLV we will put out the Final
Attendee Information.
More details will be published as the date approaches, but this will
include such things as activity maps, detailed schedules, local contact
information, late notices, changes and updates, etc.
. . . . .
On Monday of DLV week we'll have our New Attendee Welcome and
Orientation at the Bahama Breeze, the same venue we will be using for
our opening festivities.
This will be limited to new and first-time returning attendees.
However, at about 5:45 we'll open things up for our New Attendee Meet
And Greet and we'll encourage all to welcome the newcomers into the
fold. Speaking of which, if you are the first person who comes up to
Annie at the New Attendee Meet and Greet and says "I'm thirsty", you
will be treated to the liquid refreshment of your choice.
