We need a thread to see who is going and maybe plan a get together/party.

Can we buy passes through PHP?
Where is E1 staying, etc.

We're booked in at the Orleans along with 2 other couples for Sunday to Friday. Other couples have never been to Vegas.

Can't waite

I will be there...having trouble with my registrastion as well. I live here so even if they clamp down so hard I cannot get registered I will still meet up with all of you guys

Well I would be interested in going if ya can score me a ticket!

Maybe I can talk the wife into taking a few days off and coming out that way for a vacation... Actually there is a remote possibility of my wife taking a teaching job in LV in the fall... I hear you about the travel trailer... We have my mother-in-laws 36 ft winnebago RV but want a travel trailer that we can pull with the excursion instead. Trouble is that mother in law is upside down on the RV loan still... and the refrigeration coil is out in the fridge so that is $600 to replace...
It is really nice for long trip as you can just stop anywhere to eat, sleep, potty and diaper changes etc..

I'm not sure about passes, but I can check. They were very different this year when it came to registering...

I had to practically give over a blood sample and my first born to prove we were who we claimed to be -- and we're SEMA members!

They've made it very clear that only certain industries are welcome. For example, U-Line -- they manufacture boxes -- aren't allowed even though they're product is used by MOST retailers. Weird. Wonder why they've clamped down?

I think we'll be arriving on Sunday and leaving on Thursday. Pretty sure.

Any word on passes?

I know its early but don't want to waite till last minute.
I can probably get my passes localy through one of the shops in my area but would rather support PHP.

I'll be going again this year, if all goes well. Its just a blast ! So much fun.

Not sure where I will be staying. Last year was the first time in downtown (el cortez) pretty sweet, and some decent prices (cheaper tables and drinks). NYNY is always fun. Ceasar's palace is a great place to stay. Another cheaper spot I have found is Palace Station. We usually stay at a different spot everytime we head out. Guess I will wait and see this year, money might be a little tight. Would be cool to meet up with some of yall, and toss a few back.

That is GREAT!! You and Bill deserve some alone time. If there are any locals specials that Bill and yourself would like to utilize let me know and I will try and finagle em for you.

If you guys can get passes for SEMA let us know. The 2 shops I used to go through are no longer here and the Dynojet guys are not being very repective

Oh well, at the very least I am takin you guys for some drinks

I have not decided if I am going this year or not. We will have to see.
