UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE....

Just got off the phone with my cordinator, and she says, we can give you a secondary room, as long as we HIT a minuim of 70 people.

The overflow room is in the "south east corner" of the restraunt by the bar
so overflow if it happens, we will have room for ALL.

The downfall, you will be seperated from the others, but you will be by the bar... good place for those who are margerita fans....lol

I have to double check on the 15th/16th to see if any other group has booked the secodary room, if they havent NOT we will get it at no charge.

ok, thanks for reading.... Mike

I think what we will probably do is probably call and confirm with everyone early in the week of the event. This way, we can see if the two rooms are needed and also that we can invite everyone.

I know this from experaiance(sc). While I was in the east coast I attended a shoot-out in Long Island. It was the Briar college fundraiser Meet n greet/shootout. There over 40 models who "confirmed" for the event and the organizer had to turn away some of the people who wanted to be there. Come the day of the event, Only a dozen of us models showed up. Ya, about 75% no showed. Worked for me because it gave me alot of one on one time with the photographers. But it wasnt fair for the other models who were turned away before the event even started due to limited space.

So thats why I do ask that if you cant make it, or arent for sure, just let me and Mike know asap. You wont be known as a flake or a canceller if you inform us with enough time to fill in the spots, but instead you will definatly gain our respect for being professional and allowing us the chance to organize this event better. thank you smile

All you sushi eater, there is a very good Japenese buffet that have some great sushi, all you could eat for about $15 for lunch. I don't eat that raw stuff, but if you do, it is a good one. Might be the best in Vegas. Always pack with people. I always see a lot of Japenese people eating there. I go there, when I am in Vegas. I will be in Vegas on the 19th of April.
