For folks staying at the IP, what about this?

[docrobbysherry]

There seems to be a LOT of us staying at the Imperial Palace. Has anyone considered a morning informal gathering of attendees for coffee or breakfast? Where we could chat and "compare notes"?
As a newbie, I would appreciate the contacts, info, and support. I realize this may be impractical for nite owls. However, some mite come down dressed casually and go back up for a nap and total make over later.

Maybe reserve a large, or several tables in the breakfast room for whoever shows? Maybe 8 to 9, or 9 to 10AM? Do u girls with DLV experience think this mite be a good idea?
Or, maybe u know reasons why it won't?

I think you have a fabulous idea as it not only allows those staying at the IP to get together and meet each other, it also gets us up and going. Unfortunately for me, that's not a problem as I have a morning activity starting at 8:00 or 9:00 Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. That said, I would be interested in an early breakfast meeting with anyone whose interested at 7ish those mornings. How about it... any early risers?
It is easy for me as my body will be on Central time (Iowa) and think it is 9:00 then. My problem is being able to sleep in as my body wakes me at 5:00 Las Vegas time.

Breakfast at 7:00 a.m on Tuesday with you before heading out to Shiloh
sounds like a grand idea. I'm there!

Let me offer a few thought and suggestions here ...

It's most likely far too late to get this on the schedule as a DLV activity.

However, if you can decide on a TIME and PLACE for a recurring breakfast at the IP by this Tuesday evening at the latest, we can get it in the Late Notices section of the Large Final Mailing and hopefully bump your participation a bit.

IMAO, the big question is "where?"

I'm not staying at the IP this year, but I know the property well and offer three possibilities, none of them ideal, unfortunately. Their long-standing Teahouse Coffee Shop was closed in favor of the Hash House a Go-Go, a spin-off of a trendy breakfast place on west Sahara.

1. The Hash House a Go-Go. Traditional breakfasts and comfort foods with large portions and large prices. Definitely more spendy than the typical casino coffee shop.

2. The Imperial Palace Buffet. This has a reputation of being not one of the better buffets, but I can personally attest that it has improved over the past 1-2 years. It ain't haute cuisine by any means, but it's there, now, and cheap, and undoubtedly has something that everyone can enjoy.

3. Betty's Diner and Cyber Cafe. Uh-huh, the same place we're using as a rendezvous point for several activities. IIRC it's mostly coffee and rolls and such at breakfast time, but they may have some hot breakfast items, I'm not sure.

> Or, maybe u know reasons why it won't?

The only negative I can see is the time of the activity.

We don't have an early-rising gang by any means, and many of our people cite a 2-3 hour get-ready process. Our evenings can be late and very intense, and our history shows that only the highest of the high-interest activities in the morning (such as golf and air tours) draw significant numbers.

A mid-morning continental breakfast type of thing has been proposed off and on over the years, but never happened.

Anyway, if you can agree on a recurring time and place by Tuesday evening at the latest, we can get this in the LFM.

I am also staying at the Imperial Palace and would think about it, 8 to 9
might be a little early for this gal but 9 to 10 I could probably make. See
you all in a week.

Susan

PS I am driving down so I will have my car there.

Hi Annie,

I am not familiar with the area, and the venues in LV, but here in
California most Mimi's Cafe's have a banquet/meeting breakfast area that
can be private partied off. That usually is done for Sunday, after
church, breakfast meetings, maybe a local Mimi's, who has this typr of
facilities, can block a time frame from 7AM to 10PM for the early and
late risers. Just a thought.

I still have the cast on my hand so my attendance is unlikely. I return
to the doctor on the 1st but even if I get the release from him I think
that all the sign ups will be full, so I will probably will wait til
next year, to bad because my convertible seats four and I would be
coming alone, my soon to be ex will not accept or come along, so I would
have three extra seats if I could get help with gas costs.

Good Luck to all, Have fun.
