What Happens in Vegas "4" 2011, May 20, 21 & 22



NEW DATES FOR THE EVENT: MAY 20, 21 & 22 of 2011
ORLEANS WILL BE THE OFFICIAL RESORT HOTEL THIS YEAR WITH SPECIAL RATES FOR OUR GROUP.
ORLEANS HOTEL & CASINO
4500 WEST TROPICANA
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. 89103
(702) 365-705


Friday and Saturday Rates will be: $85.00 per day and weekday rates at $38.00 per day for those who want to come early or stay late.
There is also a room tax of 11% and a Resort fee of $5.00 so those that wish to stay/arrive a day early/late will pay $247.96.
There are suites and penthouse suites available at this time with a reduced rate so if you wish to upgrade contact me for pricing. Since the room rate is based upon double occupancy, you have your choice of a king size bed or two queen size beds. I would suggest that you visit their site on line to see the amenities offered.

For those participants whose significant others do not participate in the parties and cruises, there is free shuttle transportation
from the Orleans to most spots on the strip. Saturday evening to the Hofbrau House transportation will be provided from the Orleans and back again by the Orleans shuttle service.

Main Contacts California: Jedi54, Everywhere else for now: 13X.

PARKING

Orleans is providing an area that will be watched very closely in the West Parking Garage. We will be parking in the area where the executives of the Hotel park. It is well patrolled and the cameras do work. Security is planning on having a foot patrol thru the parking area along with random vehicle patrols.


In the coming weeks we will update the art work and post some additional information on the meet.

Swag will be available after the first of the year as soon as the new graphic design is ready.



WHiV 2010 was a great time as we had 80+ rotor heads from the following states

California
Arizona
Nevada
Washington
Oregon
Utah
Texas
Wyoming


We are anticipating folks from as far away as New York for 2011 so mark those calendars and
plan a trip to Sin City and join fellow rotor heads for what should to be a memorable (or not lol) weekend

A website was started last year but not sure if I can post it

Please post up any questions, perhaps if this thread develops enough activity it could be pinned where
more ppl will see as it has already expanded beyond just the west forum


I'll post of the group rate code once we have it

Ok I've added in my sig a link to this years Resort

This year should prove again to be something for everyone from mild to wild.

Plenty of fellow rotary folks. The host location has it all from child care, to movie theaters, to bowling, to the food court, to events such as hockey games last year the same weekend they had Ringling Brothers, they did really lol. Plus there will also be shuttle a bus to the world las vegas famous strip. While you should be able to see it from the Orleans it's a tad too far to walk

So wether you'd like to combine your vaca with a meet with fellow rotorheads you can even bring the family and have it all

We have worked to secure pricing for additional nights stay. So grab your lady/guy or a couple of buddies and come see what it is all about .... but I warn you anyone that has come keeps coming back the next year and brings more people with them

i'll see about some sort of BBQ at the shop or some sort of sponsorship but i can't commit to anything as of yet. the shop is only 2 blocks from the Orleans but as of now i'm looking at different locations for less money and also at a second job working evenings, meaning RE will be my second job.

If anyone is coming from Cali and needs any further details or has any questions, feel free to hit me up as I'm coordinating everything for the SoCal 8's and would be happy to help out here as well.

Just a heads up, there is typically a caravan out to Vegas Friday morning so as we get closer to the event, I'll post up details.

A few guys who flew in from Texas last year looked into it but didn't have any luck being able to rent an RX-8.

I would think there's SOME place in Vegas to rent them though...

Your area heads will be: California: Jedi54, every where else for now: 13X.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
FRIDAY MAY 20TH

MEET & GREET
from 3pm until 8pm
Meet and Greet in the west parking lot of the Orleans Event Center. You must check in here to be elgible for the Rotary Show and to receive your WHiV4 douments. Swag will be on sale at the table as will raffle tickets. Cut off for the Rotary Show entry will be 7pm
(area subject to change due to event center booking).


ROTARY SHOW
starts at 4pm until 7:30pm

Event area subject to change due to rental of the Orleans Event Center
This year a rotary show will be held in the parking area adjacent to the Meet & Greet. There will be several categories depending upon the cars registered prior to the event. Repus, old school, 7s and 8s will be judged separately. 7s may be broken up into fist, second and third gen vehicles if preregistration shows a sufficient number. All rotary cars will be eligible for trophies. Cut off for the judging will be 7:30pm

PARTY AT THE ORLEANS
Starts at 8pm until 12 midnight
The party will be in the Presidential Penthouse Suite and will be BYOB on libations with chips and dips supplied by WHiV4. The Orleans has a liquor store on site for any libation you could desire. Please be advised that you will be required to wear the ID that was issued at the Meet & Greet area


SATURDAY MAY 21
ANNUAL CRUISE
(location to be named)


NO HOST LUNCH AT THE ORLEANS
buffet


RAFFLE FOR GOODIES
(during & after lunch)


TRADITIONAL GET TOGETHER AT THE HOFFBRAU HOUSE
8pm until 11pm:

A No Host Dinner is served and prices range from $10.00 and up for traditional German faire and the beer flows at all times. A German band plays and the noise, laughing and crying from the group almost drowns out the band. If you remember in years past, parking is a problem at the Hoffbrau House so this year there will be two easy alternative ways offered to get to the Hoffbrau House. A free shuttle service will be offered by the Orleans to and from the location (tip extra). Again this year there will be Limo Service available from the Orleans to the Hoffbrau house and back again. The limo service will be $30.00 per person if paid in advance and $35.00 (tip included) after May 1,2011. There is a limit of 20 persons for the limo service. You can prepay with PayPal www.WhatHappensInVegasMeet.com


SUNDAY MAY 22
SCENIC CRUSE

10am until 12 noon:
We will have a short cruise to Red Rock and it will take less than 30 minutes to get there and there is a paved, 13 mile, one-way scenic drive (open from dawn to dusk), within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area boundaries. There is a fee for using this road of less than $10.00 (should be $7.00 but you know the park service). Very Scenic, very twisty and a good place to say good by to Las Vegas. The end of the loop is within 5 miles of the express way in case you are leaving after the cruise

End of WHiV4...Hope you all had a good time

PARKING
Orleans is providing an area that will be watched very closely in the West Parking Garage. We will be parking in the area where the executives of the Hotel park. It is well patrolled and the cameras do work. Security is planning on having a foot patrol thru the parking area along with random vehicle patrols.

Swag will be available after the first of the year as soon as the new graphic design is ready.

it's only 4 hours(or less) from the valley, i've been passed by highway patrol while doing 85(anything above that though you are more likely risking a ticket) so it's a quick trip.
