X Marks Convention

[michael steinrok]

Does any one think that a XMarks convention in Vegas sounds like a good idea. We could go to the "Tilted Kilt" Or maybe somewhere else?

Michael,

One thing that I would not like better to do, but since you brought up the idea first, that means you better start planning.

The idea of a kilted contingent (or is that kilted kontingent?) taking Vegas by storm sounds pretty appealing. It couldn't be in summer when it's too darn hot for all our finery (Balmorals have been known to spontaneously combust in the August heat). With enough notice (2007?) I'd say it sounds like a grand idea. Anyone else?

Which hotel/casino would we fit in best with?

Cheers

Sounds like all kinds of fun...I'll be Kiltsrock.com might even be profitable by then!


only thing is, does anyone thing Vegas could handle a rabble o' Xmarkers?

We would hardly be a blip on the Vegas radar screen.

Vegas can handle ANYTHING, if the price is right! I would actually throw a vote for the Green Valley Ranch, it is a very nice place a little off the strip, but they have an authentic Irish Pub, the cason is nice, and the rooms were also very nice. Of course, given a choice, I am very partial to the Venetian. Bellagio is nice, but the Venetian is just not to be missed.

I'd be down for that, Green Valley or NYNY, there's even a new Auld Dubliner there so we have two pubs (not couniting the tourist trap "Nine drunken Irishmen" at NYNY as a pub by any measure).
Rabble in Vegas, what else ???

I think we would want a place nice enough to make the trip worthwhile for everyone, but not so expensive that people would be put off by it being too nice ($$$)
