The Official TAM5 Unofficial Activities List

SkeptiKilt, completely sober. The dinner and show tickets for two priced out at $267 and some change (I have the receipt). The Fusia is some exclusive Asian restaurant and the seats were "prefered". Maybe it was a good thing he got sick?

**** Reservations are required. PM Antiquehunter with number of seats required.


Undetermined activities:


All three nights at Lotus of Siam are booked full. If you want to be on the waiting list (and some are bound to drop out, as unwise as it is), PM me.

Since The Peppermill has become the TAM Hangout, I have added a generic "Peppermill dinner" each evening. Nobody is in charge, it is simply to let people know that they can show up at The Peppermill and always find someone there. Wear your badge and spot the others. Turn on. Tune in. Drop out. Dig in. Peace, baby.
 
I think the Sunday sessions start at 0830 Claus, not 0900. You should check with Ray Hall.

Thanks!

But...but...that would interfere with the mandatory Church service...... (polishes halo)

Dumb question, but I feel like this is the best place to ask it...

What is Planet X? Evidently I'm meeting people there for things.
 
Umm...hi!

Just to throw this thought in...one of my friends that lives in Vegas recently got her massage liscense and if I can steer some business her way, it would be pretty rad. I'll probably be bringing her along for whatever kind of pub crawling activity we'll do; she's a really great lady. If anyone wants a massage...well...let me know.

AND...
if anyone wants to head out to Yolie's Brazilian Steakhouse for dinner, I'll be going and I'd like to have a posse with me. It's pretty near the Riv and they have LOTS OF MEAT. Yum. We can think about Luciana while we enjoy some Brazilian BBQ.

My PM account is full so either write back here or on myspace. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!

Hey, Moe!
Lynn and I might well be up for that, depending on which night you go. We're doing the ticket duty for Julia Sweeney, but apart from that...... Well, Wednesday we're going to see P&T............
Brazilian cooking's great. We had a fantastic meal in Rio with Luciana and Jens - highly recommended!
 
The reception Thurs says 5-7 on the official page, this one has 5-6.

I want to say how nice it is to have this schedule for those of us who have a hard time planing the extras until the last minute. I picture myself eating alone somewhere because everyone left before I figured out where to find anyone. I know some of you might prefer that, ;) , but I assure you I'm nice in person. :)

MoeFaux, et al:

I would be very interested in going to the Brazilian steakhouse.

Where is it? (The restaurant itself)

Last year I had a fantastic steak dinner before seeing Penn & Teller's show in the steakhouse restaurant in the same casino...Rio? Highly recommended!

As for which night...I am seeing Banachek (Thursday) and Jamy Ian Swiss (Saturday). I arrive Wednesday evening, departing on Monday.

What are the likely options for others interested in going?

Thanks,

SHADOWmsp
 
Moe, the right upper quadrant of my back says it would love to meet your friend.
 
Okay, Yolies: It's on Paradise Road after Flamingo. From the Riv it's Convention Ctr. Drive to Paradise and it's there, easy. You guys have this schedule thing down and I haven't really looked, so if someone wants to find a free spot and pick a time to go, go ahead. MEAT. DELICIOUS, JUICY MEAT.

SKeptikilt, I'll let my friend know there's a back in need. :)
 
Brazilian food! Oh man, do I love eating at Brazilian places. I hope I can squeeze that in. Moe, find me tomorrow -- or I will find you, for sure -- and maybe we can figure this one out.
 
Penn & Teller -- Free Shuttle

Harrah's has a free shuttle to the Rio. It leaves Harrah's (right across the street from the Mirage) every 15 minutes. It makes a couple of other stops along the way to the Rio but comes straight back to Harrah's on the return. I was told that it runs until 1:00 AM but I have not verified that yet.
 
Shuttle to Rio.

It makes a couple of other stops along the way to the Rio but comes straight back to Harrah's on the return. I was told that it runs until 1:00 AM but I have not verified that yet.

Well, I could not have been wronger. I obviously got my info from the wrong person at the the wrong desk. I guess two wrongs don't make a right after all.

The shuttle leaves Harrah's and the Rio every 30 minutes and makes no stops. So, if you need transportation to see the Penn & Teller show and can get to Harrah's via the bus or monorail you can save over a taxi.
