Journey
I am confused also LOL I did not see your post...I think sometimes post gets hidden whenever a new page has started.....Laura has a great idea.....
Thanks Laura for offering to put the first night on your card....you always step right up to the plate.....
-
You got it Linda... I am just a gal who needs to plan ahead.. so this way.. I know the rooms will be ready for us...hehe... and for some reason.. I feel I can trust you and Deb...:)... either way.. the rooms will be the cheapest part.

Tracey.. if you need my help.. let me know. I am crazy busy in May, with graduation and two trips I have planned... but after that...let me know.

Jazzy,
thanks for asking! well, i didn't win. it hasn't been confirmed, but i know others that won in other cities (A's, Reds, etc.) and they were notified last night.
I'm disappointed, but as I went back and read all of the Dodger essays (there are over 60 of them) there is one girl that wrote an essay that brought me to tears. So, I'm hoping she won! She's young (30's), fought stage III breast cancer and then they found cancerous nodes in her neck (stage 4). so.....if not me, I hope she'll be honored!
maybe next year for me
thanks for helping me with votes!!!lisa

Eadsla - Hi Catherine! yes!!!! I'm up for sharing a room for 2 or 3. It's cheap enough that's for sure!
I will fly out of LAX and I know that Burbank works better for you.....we could always coordinate flights to arrive at the same time!
-
Hi ladies,
LisaLisa and Catherine...you're already listed in a 4 person group. See page one, first post down.
As for me....yes my DD is going too but we can share a bed or I will sleep on the floor. I'm one of those people that can go with the flow so don't worry about where you put me and DD.
If you're looking for recommendations for a hotel I LOVE the MGM Grand. We stayed there a year + ago and had a blast. It's completely self contained and has the Lazy River. You rent a tube and float the river. We went with 4 families and ended up with a big bar bill at the river for the weekend.
Just a thought.
-
I have stayed at the MGM, Montecarlo, Flamingo HIlton, and Imperial Palace. No matter where we choose it doesn't matter! We will have a BLAST! MGM's lazy river is way fun like Renee mentioned, Montecarlo has one as well and a wave pool. Both of those hotels are at the end of the strip where as the Paris is more towards the middle of the strip. It's such a beautiful hotel! They all look close but are far away!!! They have a monorail which is great, but I'll be happy just hangin with my tata girls! I've been to the Blue Man Group and it is just a WAY FUN show with audience participation. :-)
I want to spend time bonding with you girls! I don't want to make this trip and we each head our own different ways! Sorry I sound like I'm freakin out here...lol I can see us get to the pool in the am to save our chairs and stay all day drinking and gabbing!!! OMG I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!
I still crack up everytime I get a compliment on my hair cut. lol
-
I stayed at the MGM last year, it was a blast and the shows were great. I really am hoping that we stay at a hotel that has more than just the casino.

Wow - I can hardly follow all these posts. But I love you all!
-
We should stay in the middle of the strip, You can walk to several hotels from there. Staying at the MGM Grand is nice, but it is a far walk from anything. The Tropicana is fading, the Excalibur is not worth seeing, only New York New York is worth the walk. If you are mid strip, you have all the hotels right around you, Caesar's, Bellagio, and Bally's are at one intersection, and Paris, the Venetian next to each other. As far as staying at a hotel where there is more than a casino,
the more you have, other than restaurants and shops, the larger the hotel and the moe walking you have, constantly to get to your room, to go anywhere, etc. So there is good and bad to each.I'm trying to give a picture to anyone who has not been to Vegas. Mid strip is also the Fashion Mall. I stay in Vegas (at least up to this year) about two to four times a year. Stayed at most of the hotels, I'm fine with any of them but prefer mid-strip for its accessability.
Hope this helps....JUDY

Here is a promotion sent to me by the MGM Grand.

Facecrafter is right. MGM is huge so it takes awhile to get to and from everything within the MGM.
There is a Monorail that takes to the middle of the strip in 3 minutes but it cost $5.00.

I'm good with where ever we go. Just showing some options.

OK ladies I am throwing this out there, I contacted Nancy from Tracey's list and she is staying with a friend, which means I am looking for a roomie. I promise I am non-smoker, nice, fun and do not snore ( that I know of or any other unwelcome noises)... Also know my way around Vegas since I go once a year for training (does this look like and ad or what????) I already pm Tracey so hopefully we will find somebody who does not have a room and want to share. I will talk to you guys later
Hugs

Hi Gbusse - I think a couple of us are kind of out there looking for a room. These things always take time to sort out. I have PM'd Tracey as well about my situation. Maybe we'll end up together - who knows!
- Gretchen
-
Ladies... hang in there... do not worry. Tracey has her plate full this week it sounds like... She is looking into prices and such now. After she gets the price per room down.. and the # of ladies we are allowed per room... I bet she will do a reorganize... LOL... We will all get to Vegas and we will all sleep in Vegas....:) ( some of us less than others...hehe).... Hang tight...
Tracey said the 16th will be a good day on the Vegas thread....:) Love ya Tracey...
Love to all ladies... we will all get a roomy... maybe 4... maybe 1... we'll see....:)

Ahhh the fun of planning a weekend to remember! Amen!
Love Love Love
-
Great perspective, Laura. We will ALL get there, and ALL have a room to stay in. Absolutely, positively!! Chill out everyone. It will happen.
Trust. It's a great thing!
With this many women, can you imagine trying to please everyone all of the time??? We'll have to compromise just a tad in the spirit of the Ta Ta Sisters. There's a lot to consider . . . and I'm sure Tracey has everyone's best interest at heart.
So, let's all be patient, and SMILE while we're waiting for the final word. And then let's SMILE some more and be content that we will all be together----celebrating as no other group can in Vegas!!!
Gretchen, if we get bunk beds, you can have the top bunk! hehehe OK, now I'm getting silly!
But, I'm smilin' . . .
We are going to have SOOOOOOO much fun together, sisters!!! Who cares what hotel we stay at, or which room we sleep in??? Relax, and it will happen. Goos fraba.

-
Top bunk? I don't think so! Did I mention I get up to pee at least once a night?
-
Only once?????
-
On a good night.
-
ME TOO GIRLS...LOL LOL
Forget how many beds per room.. we need two BATHROOMS per room...hehe hehe! -
I have an active, nocturnal bladder as well. I also talk and walk in my sleep. My husband says I snore really loud but I don't believe him.
Anyone want to room with me??????

-
ReneeS - do we need to post a guard by your door? Is there any danger of gambling in your sleep as well?
-
So, ok, you can have the bottom bunk . . . I remember falling off the top bunk when I was a little kid, and I've had nightmares about it ever since. JUST KIDDING.
I'll have to watch my liquids before bedtime if I want to last all night long. Does that mean I'll have to cut back on the Irish? Egads! No way!!! Did you know I'm a Bushmill's Irish Woman??? But, I'm behaved! Most the time. hehehe
-
Gonna be a blast Marilyn! Got to say good night gals. Need to spend some time with DH!
-
Busted!!!!
-
You girls are so much fun I can hardly wait!!! I pm'd our other 2 roomies. I haven't seen them post on here lately so I'm not too sure if they are still planning on going. If they decide not then Susie and I will need a couple more gals in our room. I'm sure Tracey will have it all together by the 16th!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TRACEY!!!!! YOU ROCK!
HUGS! JazzyJ
-
WOW.....This thread moves fast....No worries here I am Vegas bound even If I have to sleep propped up on a slot machine....I know Tracey will take care of the rooming arrangements. Do any of you know if we are buying the Viva Las Ta Tas t-shirt. I will talk to you later
Hugs

Oh, I must have chemo brain! I was just told by my partner that we are booked on a cruise that weekend. And although I'd gladly give it up to go with you guys, I can't,,,my partner would be really pissed off. So I'll have to hear about it from all of you, and go on the 2nd one!
Sorry, Journey, thought we could be roomies, but it looks like you won't have any problems finding a roomie with everyone going...Oh I'm so upset !!!
-
OH NO {{{{JUDY}}}}!!!! I am SO SORRY, but I totally understand! We all will miss you so much!!!! We will have a drink in your honor!
I'm planning on getting the viva las tata shirt! Susie has already received hers!
-
I'm getting the Viva las tatas t-shirt anyway!! I think it rocks, and I'll be ready for the 2nd trip!!
-
where do i find this VIVA LAS TATAS shirt? my friends had a charm bracelet made for me after I was diagnosed. one of the charms says "viva la lisa". i must have the tshirt to go with it!
thanks!
