I just wanted to make something completely clear.

My opinion on how the Charles Bar incident was handled has absolutely no
effect on the admiration and gratitude I hold for Diva organizers and
volunteers as a whole, this year or in years past.

Your efforts over the years have blazed trails for all of us, i want you
to know that I, for one, appreciate and am forever grateful for the time
and energy you have expended and the paths you have forged.

( i just think you could lighten up on the rules a bit, thats all LOL )

Dear Friends,

I must admit to not being present at the Charles Bar when the aforementioned events occurred. I was home in bed fast asleep as is usual for me on a Thursday night. I confess to possibly speaking in general terms here.

I do believe there is a time and place for everything. I have
had locals ask me about Diva Las Vegas. In keeping with the
traditions of DLV I always emphasized in clear terms the
importance and requirement of registering for DLV if attendance
is desired.

I admit to being a very mainstream individual. I choose not to
patronize many of the establishments that I guess I could
categorize as alternative. I have nothing against them. Give me
an evening in the Petrossian or Baccarat bars in Bellagio, or
Parasol Up and Down in Wynn, or the Prime Rib Loft at the
Orleans, or Golden Nugget Laughlin any day. And the list goes
on and on. I'm no better than the next person, just different.

I also enjoy more middle of the road places like Palace Station,
or the Riverside in Laughlin, etc.

I confess to never having dressed in the manner of the folks
from the Wildside. I know there are venues where they could
feel at home. I feel in my own opinion that Bellagio is not
a place for that. Bellagio is different. I am fortunate to
be a somewhat regular guest of the various venues of Bellagio
since 2001, and of Wynn since their opening day in April 2005.
I continue to enjoy such upscale experience to this day.

I am fortunate to know the Gina who brought Charles Bar to DLV.
And I would be glad to attend meals and events with her any day.
I'd like to thank her for helping me to know I can experience the
finer things in life and be myself while doing that. I would say
this Gina who worked hard to put together Charles Bar is one to
have respect for.

Now if only I can stay up late enough to attend Charles Bar, and
have my plain cranberry juice.

Sincerely, J. here in warm LV.

It's one of the smaller casino bars at the Bellagio.

Gina tells me that as of this time, it officially has no name,
but it used to be known as the Allegro Bar.

(Bellagio, where the bars have no name.) :)

Hi All,

I just got an email from Charles and the expansion plans for club next
door have been put off, so there is no reason to believe that Charles
Bar will be available as we need it.

By the way, Charles is getting married in 7 weeks, I'm planning on
sending him a card, if you'd like to be included on the card please send
me an email at ginarichards1@gmail.com and I'll forge your name to it!

Love ya,

Gina Richards
Still Gina
