Anyone who is a participant here and especially those of us that have been around a while can pay their own way to Vegas.

To those that have never been I recommend it if only to see Ten of the Ten largest hotels in the world.  Even if you don't gamble just walking the strip and experiencing the Freemont Street Experience is worth the visit.

Vegas packages are not expensive as long as you don't go during the major conventions like Comdex, Nascar Race or the National Finals Rodeo.

Would be most entertaining to sit around some well appointed lounge and actually meet some of the people who have been along for this ride.

Onward and Upward.
