Hotel Direction

In Las Vegas, from freeway I-15: Exit Flamingo Road West. Cross freeway and the entrance of Rio Las Vegas Hotel Casino is on the right.

Special Note from Silver Director Sam Quintanilla:

Book a room under this site below. The total for 3 rooms with tax and everything is 352.80 for 3 nights. That's Thursday night- Saturday night (March 4-7). If we are 6 people per room that's about 60 bucks a person (20 bucks a day). Make sure when you book the room you get 2 queen beds that will be needed. Also when your booking just put down 2 adults.

Noe I will let you know if you have book a room as well. I booked 1rm as of now, so as of now it's not required for you. I'm also waiting on Yumi and OC to see what they are going to do.

Alan and Renee won a contest with Usana so they will have their own suites.

So Noe your on Standby.

Yumi let me know asap what you are planning to do. I want to make sure we are well organized for this event.

When you book a room use a credit card. I was not charged at all yet but it's smarter to use a credit rather than your debit.

We are doing 2 fund raisers to raise money for hotel, gas, food, goodies. The ones that worked out good was a yard sale. The days we have available are Sunday Feb 21st and Feb 28th. The yard sale would be at my house if we decide to do 2 yard sales. If we have other ideas just let me know.

Marcia is helping us with the Vegas regionals roster. She will be collecing money and information as she updates this list on a daily basis. This list will keep track of everyone who is going, pendings, hotel funds, food funds, gas funds...ETC....

Thanks Marcia.

Once again Martin book 1 room tonight after call party. Let me know if you have any questions. The better we are organized the less of a headache this will be.

Vegas Regionals here we come.....
