Did you have any trouble making the reservation? They found the group in their system without issue?

We'll get an arrivals thread going shortly.

It went really smooth. gave them the C-AMG code and she pulled it up with the correct rate. She said the rooms were on the 10thfloor and up, and we would have a view of the strip (or at least my room does). Check in at 3pm, checkout at 11am!

It took all of 4 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised.

I will be in Vegas from next Sat. the 13th through Tues. the 16th.  I will do some "advance scoping" for the group.  This will be a fun gathering!

Please let us know what you would like to see for the Las Vegas gathering meet & greet.

One option available to us at the hotel would be a catered affair at the top of the Tower. Another option would be to have an outdoor event on the 8th floor pool deck.

Food options range from a full sit down dinner, buffet, or light appetizers. Of course, a full service bar will be provided as in years past.

Other options include having the event offsite or doing away with the formality all together and making reservations for dinner somewhere.

Those who have been to AMGs in the past know what I'm capable of arranging. And if you haven't been, I welcome your ideas as well. Las Vegas lends itself to many possibilities for this event.

I kinda like the idea of having an outdoor event. I'm imagining the 8th floor pool deck, great views of Vegas in the evening, Margaritas, etc... Maybe even do a Luau theme complete with grass skirts and Leis, little drinks with Umbrellas in them,  RAB doing the Hula...

But anytime you say "outdoor" in Vegas you have to wonder about the heat. Would the heat still be stifling in the evening? (It's not a pretty sight when my Anti-Wrinkle cream starts running).

Also, would they cater an event for us on the pool deck?

Just thinking aloud here....

I told Dennis I would try and personally check this out while visiting Vegas this weekend.  I have been there in August several times and yes, it is torching hot in the day, somewhat less so in the evening.  However, the pool areas usually have plenty of shaded and covered areas.  I will look at the pool deck and see if it is the kind of place that is good for our meet and greet.  Certainly, there are a multitude of options in Vegas.  It would be convenient, however, to have a place right at our hotel.  I'll have my laptop with me so I will report from Vegas.

They will cater an event on the pool deck. I know many pool areas in Vegas have misting systems. The heat was a concern of mine as well. I've been there in August and don't recall the heat being as bad in the evening. Also, the group mgr. advised there is usually a light breeze in the evening up there.

Continue to think out loud.  This is exactly the feedback I'm looking for  :)

Yesterday was Valentines Day and today is Presidents Day and Las Vegas is mobbed with visitors!  I tried to take a tour at Stratosphere this afternoon but the group sales department is out for the holiday.  I will meet the woman (Janelle) who is handling our arrangements tomorrow and she will take me around to see the pool deck and some other things so that we can make some plans.  I am hopeful that the Stratosphere facilities will meet our needs for the meet and greet (and perhaps even the memorial) because it will be much easier for our group that way. 

I left Kentucky in the nick of time...eight more inches of snow yesterday.  It is sunny and in the 60s here...much nicer.  I return late Tuesday night.

...and yes Willy there will be a full report!

You're a doll Gary. I like the idea of having the memorial at the Stratosphere,provided they have a suitable area,  and who better to scope the place out than you!

There is something called the Chapel in the Clouds.  It is way up on the top (of course) and I feel fairly certain it is not free.  I am going to ask about it.

Friends,

I spent about an hour with the Group Sales Manager at the Stratosphere Hotel and I can say that once again, Dennis has found a wonderful site for our gathering (albeit not the official AMG for 2010.)  I was able to look at the banquet room that was proposed for the "Meet and Greet" and this room is perfect for us.  It is located 107 stories above Las Vegas with breathtaking views.  Restrooms are conveniently located nearby and even better it is in our host hotel!  There are food and beverage minimums for a gathering of this sort (common in the business) and Dennis will tell us about that.  It will be worth it in terms of convenience for our group.

I was not able to see the swimming pool area on the 8th floor as it is under renovation.  It is a large area and a good place for regular gatherings.  This being Las Vegas there is a optional topless pool for adults only on the 25th floor (not bottomless though!) 

Our room reservation gets us free access to the tower where the visual attractions are.  There is a world class restaurant on the top (fine dining- translate:  expensive) and a cocktail lounge also up there with those breathtaking views.  Once again, this being Vegas, those drinks will have premium prices but it will be worth an occasional splurge.

The hotel rooms top out at the 24th floor in case some of you fear great heights.  The famous Stratosphere tower is separate from the hotel complex. 

For those that do not like to do a lot of walking, it is possible to spend the entire time at the Stratosphere and be well entertained.  There are plenty of restaurants including cheaper ones.  Taxis are so easy in this city and some of us will have rental cars.

I hope you will consider joining us in Las Vegas this August.  Keep watching this particular forum as Dennis will be posting more details.  He will need a good idea of who is coming and who is willing to be a part of the group events to facilitate planning.

Thank you for checking things out for us, Gary.

So you would definitely suggest the tower banquet room rather than the pool deck? I was taking our smoker into consideration when thinking about a pool deck event.

The Top of the World restaurant is nice. I've eaten there for lunch, which is reasonable. $15 average for an entree. Dinner on the otherhand is is $35 and up.

Before I can begin any negotiations on the f&b I'll need a better idea on how many will be attending.
As soon as you can confirm your attendance, please do in this thread until we get our arrival thread in place.

Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks for doing the legwork Gary!

Hmmm, now I'm leaning towards the Tower for the Meet and Greet, if for nothing else the view. It sounds great!

Here's a pic (attached) from the observation deck at night, so I'm sure our view would be comparable since the O.D. is only a couple floors higher. Amazing view!

Since I was not able to view the pool deck, it was hard to make an educated guess.  The sales manager indicated there would be a food and beverage minimum if they were to segregate a portion of the pool deck and that minimum might be greater than what would be required in the banquet room. 

The other thing I forgot to mention is that minors could be present in the banquet room, but not in the cocktail lounge, even if we segregated a portion of that.  Similarly, the food and beverage minimum for the lounge would most likely be higher than the banquet room.  I assume since we have had children present the past several years (and happily so!) we would want to look at venues where they could be present.

I think the pool deck would certainly be a nice, open public space as long as the food and beverage minimums are manageable.  Similarly, I think the views and privacy of the tower banquet room are stunning and would be  enjoyed by our group.

The key is having enough people willing to attend the event and pay the requisite per person charge.  I will be curious to see what that amount is.

I do believe this site has the potential to be one of our best gatherings ever.  This is such an affordable city and the lodging rate we are being offered is simply unbeatable.  I hope we can convince a sufficient number of members to joining us in August.

Gary,

The f&b is where they would be making their money,other than the gambling. They require a $500 deposit to hold the function space, which is applied to the f&b. The deposit issue can be worked out as has been done in the past.

The minimums are the same, regardless if the event is in the tower or on the pool deck.

If we were to go banquet style, the least expensive option is is $50 per person with a 40 person minimum. This items on the buffet would be the following...

Freshly Brewed Starbucks Coffee and Teas

Watermelon Basket Filled with Fresh Seasonal Fruit
Mixed Garden Greens with Raspberry Vinaigrette and Ranch Dressing
Caesar Salad with Traditional Dressing
Mirror of imported and Domestic Cheese
Antipast Salad Marinated Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Tri-Colored Pasta

Choice of 2 Entrees

Fresh Pacific Salmon with Citrus & Dill Beurre Blanc Sauce
Chicken Roulade Florentine
Sliced Tenderloin of Beef served with Peppercorn Sauce
Shrimp Scampi
Cheese Ravioli with Marinara Sauce

Chefs Selection of Starch
Fresh Seasonal Vegetables
Freshly Baked Rolls and Butter

Specialty Pastries and a Variety of Tarts

A sit down style dinner would average slightly less or more depending on the entree we chose.

To have our own cash bar would require a minimum of $350 in sales, which according to years past should not be a problem. If we wanted an open bar, the cost would be $26 - $28 per person for 3 hours. This actually isn't a bad deal considering the cost of drinks which range from $4.00 for juices/soda to $6.50 for top shelf.

Prices above do not reflect a sales tax or a 20% gratuity.

Now, I've posted this information just as a guideline for everyone. Once I have an idea of how many people are attending and what we want, I'll be in a better position to enter into talks with the banquet manager. One thing I can guarantee is that the cost will remain around the same price as in years past, which I think is a nominal cost to have our own space.

Dennis

Yikes, theres several threads going on so I'm not for sure which one to respond under (LOL) but for the most part count me and the hubby in. Will have a better answer in a month or two. All I had to say was Las Vegas too him on the phone and he was already tallying up ways for us to make this trip.

I know this was pointed out by Dennis in the "Las Vegas Gathering" Thread, but it bears repeating. The room rates Dennis negotiated are unbelievably cheap, especially for the venue. To book your room today takes a mere $33.60 (I'm looking at my bank account). The remaining approx $150 ( I forget the exact amt. at the moment)  will be charged during the stay. This is for a full 5 day stay. So for those who are cash strapped, with this economy most of us are, you can book today for the $33, then put away $25/mo up till Aug and your stay is paid for! If you wish to trim this down even more you can book for less than 5 days. Of course this doesn't include Airfare, food, entertainment, etc... but you can do all those things on the cheap! Plus the more people we get, the better our Meet and Greet rates. This is a very doable gathering in Sin City!

Since I'm working again I may be going to this gathering.  If so I'll probably want to see a few of the shows while I'm there.  Peepshow is high on my list.

Sin City Daredevils Can Take 'Stratosphere' Freefall From 829 Feet

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/21/stratosphere-jump-opens-daredevils-las-vegas/?test=latestnews

The 855-ft leap officially set a Guinness World Record for highest commercial decelerated descent


So if all the crazy rides atop the Strat were not enough they've added this freefall experience.

This looks pretty cool. It's a freefall but yet you are connected by wires to keep you from straying on the way down. I think I'd like to do this but it's $100, so maybe not. I wonder if instead of a free fall they would just lower me a few inches at a time?

I feel as though I should mention this:

Penn and Teller perform regularly at the Rio. It seems as though they may have common interests with many of us. (below) Their show is entertaining comedy/magic, and the Rio masquerade in the sky (not daily anymore) is something to see.

Since folks are tossing out ideas of fun things to do in Las Vegas, I'd like to point out that Blondie and The B-52s are performing Saturday August 7 at Mandalay Bay.   The only tickets I can find are general admission, but they are available.  I have no idea how well this venue is setup for shows of this kind.

Great Find Henry ! I would Die to see them, especially Blondie. Apparently the concert is outside at the "Beach", maybe thats why its General Admission, not sure though.$55 seems reasonable enough to see them. The general admission sorta worries me though since Im not sure how the venue is set up.

Did you have any trouble making the reservation? They found the group in their system without issue?

We'll get an arrivals thread going shortly.

We called to make reservations last weekend and they couldn't find us.  The actually said we weren't in the system yet!  I'm not sure what's up with that.  I'll try again this weekend.

Strange...we were already in the system when I checked back in February.  I am sure we haven't hit the cut off date yet.  Hope Dennis can straighten this out soon.

We called to make reservations last weekend and they couldn't find us.  The actually said we weren't in the system yet!  I'm not sure what's up with that.  I'll try again this weekend.

Like Gary said, the group has been set up since February. I just called reservations and the agent had no problem recalling the group in her system. Did you call 1-800-998-6937? The group code is AMG or C-AMG. Try again and let me know if you continue to have problems.

I love Zumanity! Very different than the other Cirque show; fun nonetheless. You can't go wrong with any of them. I think I've seen them all accept for the Beetles and Elvis inspired shows. Le Reve at the Wynn is also worth seeing.

That's great news Next.  But as far as what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?  No Way!  I intend to start nasty rumors about all of you and what you did!   ;)

Oh yeah right Jan. You better be careful what you post, we'll make you do it missy!   Last time we were at the top of the Stratosphere you wouldn't even go on that twisty twirly thing that hangs off the side. 

Chicken!

I'm in if Jan does it.

And in true southern form the gentleman in me will insist that she go first (and the chicken in me will insist she go first to be certain the safety ropes are working correctly).
