I guess there might be companies that aren't actually considered a sponsor - but might ALSO need the same type help... so include those type companies in this question as well....

Actually Chop I think Bell is asking 1 of 2 things,

1) in the event she was looking to promote something at a booth where would she be able to find sites that would help her set that up or what I was thinking is the more likely
2) If there are currently any sponsors out there that might be looking for help in the booths, parties, etc, or that might need a hand with the networking angle, that Bell would be interested in being someone that helps a sponsor out. Or in general where do we go to get the help.

For example Extreme will need more than the normal 3-4 people we travel with, so we will be flying in somewhere in the area of 12-14 staff members to help with Booth Staffing, answering questions, helping with our Pre-Party on the night of the 4th and with our Affiliate party on the night of the 5th. As well as any other parties we might sponsor or events we might get involved in.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO VEGAS!!!

Booth: #371

[Chop Smith]

Okay with all the staff taking care of business at booth 371, where do we find the three hefty EXTREME guys?

Oh great, there go my chances of winning anything.

Well I am so lucky because I live in Las Vegas and love it here. Being that I am into webmastering, playing poker both online and in the casinos and this year I will be attending a few World Poker Tour events, and my great love for computers make this the perfect place to live for me.

I live in the city that both Comdex and Internext visit, it is wonderful! I just joined to community here and really like the matter of talk on this forum compared to others so far.

Well I have to get checking out all the other post and get caught-up here of the happenings going on.

Looks like I'm going, still have to book my flight and decide where I'm staying, I hate traveling. Actually Vegas is about the last place that I want to vacation since I've been there twice already and basically don't care for Vegas, must have something to do with the fact that I find gambling and drinking pretty boring.

Thinking of getting a room off of the strip and renting a car so that I can do a little sight seeing. I see hotels that are a few miles from the strip with a kitchen and all for about $50 a night.

Don't worry Cleo - The Bitch will go shopping with you

See Red Rock Canyons. I enjoyed it last month. The thirty minute drive is worth it.

If you are not staying on the strip, consider staying downtown. The hourly Freemont experience light show is great.

I was just looking over at expedia.com and I found a 4 day package that includes a room at the Stratosphere Tower Hotel plus the flight and a car for $385.83.

I've been to Red Rock Canyon and would love to see it again. Actually I've never been to Nevada in the winter. What is the weather like during that time of year? Since I live in the tropics I don't own anything warmer then a light sweater.

I've been all over the west twice during my hippy years, spent about six months camping in all the national parks each time, but only during the summer months.

[Chop Smith]

Stayed at the Stratosphere in September. Might have been a similar package. I already have my plane ticket but considering staying there in January. If the new monorail system is completed, transportation to the convention center should not be too expensive.

[Extreme John]

I leave for Vegas in T - 2 Days and counting only for a quick 3 day ordeal

Sorry Cleo, I love Vegas, not a HUGE gambler, well maybe a tad bit, ok Im ADDICTED to Craps, but other than that I still love vegas and I especially Love Internext in Jan.

Well Cleo, at that time of year it could get pretty cold. Being in a desert we only have two seasons here. Hot and Cold, both are at the extremes. In January it will probably be in the low 40s could hit 30s a few nights.

Did you ride the coaster? I loved it the first 30 times. In January I will need to ride 30 more times LOL

[Chop Smith]

I am to old for that. I would love to see you on the new one that is going over the edge.

[Surfn]

I'll be on it

Since you don't want to go on the coaster how about we bungee jump together?

[Chop Smith]

How about me just watching?

[docholly]

Cleo: January and Feb are the 'rainy' months there.. and being that the ground is hard from baking from March to Nov.. there is a bit of flash flooding. However, it rarely affects the strip area.

As far as transportation goes, the strip bus and trolley are $1.00 and most casinos will provide transport to other casinos or have a mini-bus that runs around.

As far as hotels off the strip, that's my preference as well. We are staying at the Rio, and my 2nd choice would be the Orleans. If you re looking for an apartment type place, Cleo, try like the Budget Suites on Tropicana.. they are pretty decent and i think the weekly rate there is like 250 per week, which isn't bad.

KCat..i have a friend in vegas who runs in her home, the AAA Pet Hotel, she gives the dog/cat full run of her house or yard whichever they are more accustomed to, so if those on the link aren't what you are looking for hit me up.

If you get a chance and have the cash, take the helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. It is the ride of your life. It takes a few hours to get there and you fly over Hoover Dam and land on the floor of the canyon. Where they have a table setup with wine and cheese. They let you hang out there for about an hour where of course my wife had to smoke a joint (a lifetime dream to smoke a joint on the floor of Grand Canyon).

After leaving the canyon a few hours later, you are back in Vegas flying down the strip and then landing at the airport. I think it was about $1400 but...with 2 couples, it really isn't that bad of a price.

And of course, if you go to the Stratosphere, you have to go on the rides I love when you wait in line for the roller-coaster and feel the tower shaking The food was pretty good too. But, when they take your picture, be prepaired to pay about $40 for it

No, you have to go on it with me. I'll have the VidCam rolling the whole time |twinkle

I absolutely love roller coasters, will be riding them a lot.

I've rode a mule to the bottom of the grand canyon many years ago. The west is beautiful beyond belief. One of the most beautiful paces that I remember is Zion nation park.
