THE 2ND TA TAS SISTERHOOD REUNION IN VEGAS!!

CORRECTION

If you wanna see the Kansas City Pictures of the Ta Ta's you will have to pm ~ROCKWELL_GIRL here... ( Sandy Sunshine) ... she put up her own place on Shutterfly...:)....

Packer and Diane also have tons of pictures they will add when they can...

No go for me on the September 25th date.  I will be doing the Susan G. Komen 3 day walk in Seattle that weekend.  I could do the 1st, 2nd or 4th weekend in October.

REGARDING ROOMS AT THE MGM GRAND SIGNATURE:

There is a 1 bedroom suite which has two bathrooms and a full kitchen.  It is $179.00 per night plus tax and the $20.00 daily fee as mentioned above.   Sleeps 4.  We have Starbucks coffee provided to the rooms.  Coffeemakers in rooms!  [That was an issue last year with the Mirage.]   There is also a 2 bedroom suite which is actually a one bedroom along with the junior suite [which I referenced above] and the cost would be the junior suite plus the 1 bedroom suite.  IT SLEEPS 8 PEOPLE.  A full kitchen - so some meals could be eaten in the room - saving some $$$$.  We could even put on a fun dinner for all of us one night.  The earlier we book, we can be assured of rooms together.  This is a small boutique hotel - which is connected by a covered walkway to the MGM Grand.  If we are not ALL right next to each other, there are three sections to the Signature, and each one is under a one minute walk to the other. 

October is the month chosen by the overwhelming number of people. 

The following weekends seem to be the most popular:  October 1st through 4th and October 15th through 18th - with the latter date being considered into the "prime" season in Vegas and rooms would be $5.00 more per day.  

Just some other things to consider....

HOTEL PRICES:  If some of you want to call around and find out what kind of room rate we could get at one of the hotels, that would be great for comparison.  We have to take into consideration that all of the hotels charge an additional "per person" rate over two persons in a room.  The fee is typically $30.00 to $35.00 per person, which adds another $70 to $75 per day to the bill.  So let's do some comparison shopping this week.  Anyone have any contacts? 

The rooms that sleep 8 sound like fun, Deborah.  Is that MORE than the $500 (or so) per weekend per room that you quoted for the one that sleeps 4?  MGM Grand, by the way, is right across the street from New York NY and the Signature at MGM is behind the main hotel (I believe)... so basically a close walk (someone had voted for that). 

Rooms that sleep 8 sound like a blast to me  

Once Tracey has a comparable at the Mirage (or wherever she is calling) we can make an informed decision.

Oh and Jancie- You wanted to be near the Piano Bar this year... The MGM is right across the street from the NYNY-- so I could give you a horsey back ride home!

That is one of the benefits with the MGM Grand Signature.. Those who would like to be 8 in a room have that option with the 2 bd, 2 ba - which has a huge living room and a full 1,500 square feet of space.  Or you can have 4 per room with the 1 bd and it will still have 2 bathrooms and it is 1,000 sq. feet.  Or just the studio/junior suite which also sleeps 4 but those who want to room by themselves or with just one other person - this would work for them.  And, as packergirl stated, it is right across the street from your piano bar Jancie!  It gives us a more intimate space - a living room with sofas and chairs - for hanging around and chatting with one another - for those of us who want to do so.  It offers the best of both worlds:  Close proximity to gambling and nightclubs for those who are party animals - and spacious, opulent solitude for those who are not!

whippetmom - I still have chemo fog.  I totally missed the fact that the condo suites were on the strip.  For some reason I was picturing them off the strip across the freeway and we would have to take a cab to every single place we went to.  I am so sorry for being so confused.  I might have some hair now but I still don't have a brain!  Oh yes.....I was a natural blonde before chemo so maybe there lies the answer to me being so stupid!  I was going to say "dingy" but that I wasn't quite sure how to spell it and then I thought "hmm...they are going to think I am dirty instead of an airhead"

This private trainer I am meeting tonight is going to have a field day with me for sure since I can't get it together today.   I can't think of words, I can't spell - cancer sucks!

Hey, it's cookie gal here, I'm a newbie. I am fine to stay anywhere, I think the condos sound nice.

I will be at the Aladdin from the 3-5th of October.

I have stayed in the Hilton (blah), Ceasar's (which I love), Riviera (double blah), and Green Valley ranch which is nice.

I have always wanted to stay at Paris or Mandalay or the Palms, but I am cool with anywhere. Hard Rock is nice as well. Even TI/Mirage is very central.

I met my husband at the Wynn BTW, got married at Flamingo, and had the reception at CP.

Cheers!

It sounds like October 1-4 is a real possibility!!! That would be soo exciting. I could be a roomie for the first 2 nights, then I will head to my convention.

I like the idea of the 8 person suites.  There were many of the gals that I did not have the opportunity to spend any time with on the last trip.  Having a living room where we can hang out and chat sounds lovely.   (Of course, I'll go along with whatever is decided and whatever time is decided.  I can't wait!)

Cookie -- I love Caesar's too!  The Paris is very nice (I've stayed there several times) but it's huge and rambling and, I suspect, would not give us the intimate proximity that the condos seem to offer.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE WE GETTING EXCITED OR WHAT?????????

I am just sad if we have to leave some out because of the date.  I suppose that's gonna happen no matter what date we choose.

I'm with Robin...I didn't get to spend time with her until the last night!  WAH!  I think the suites sound marvalous!  Time to really spend time together!!  Vegas is Vegas and we all will find things that we want to do, but if we are rooming closer together we will have more time to visit!  I wish we had more of that last time!

2 of my faves and a must are: piano bar and Belagio's champagne brunch!!!  And go late enough to get the crab!!!

Freemont street which Susie, Clare and I didn't get to do...def need to do that this time.

I can hardly wait to see how long the list of tata sisters will be!!!

WOOO HOOO!!!

My vegas faves....Mixx, the bar in The Hotel, amazing best drinks ever and back in my single days...well the men lined up like planes waiting to land!

Ghost in the palms is fun, but a scene on the weekend.

Buffet in Planet Hollywood, I think is the best hands down. 

Payard in CP made my insanely good wedding cake, and the NYC branch is gone!

Rao's in CP is fun.

Pierro's is a local's favorite and had the best creamed corn ever.

We like the food at Tao as well.

And I just like to chill at Mandalay.

Oh Canyon Ranch club in Venetian, and gondola ride.

And I liked the bar in the Eiffel tower.

Ok, so even if I am not there, you have my picks!

oh and for gambling, I like the centerfuge bar in MGM.

And Red Rock....the rock not the casino.

3/4. SUSIE... LOVE LOVE LOVE it...:).. AWESOME....
