As noted in the post above, Rome's and Scottimus arrived late, after we had finished dinner but joined in the gaming. (I wanted to be sure I had that name right, but all I can find in the directory is Scottimus1, so I am not certain.) The only member who had said he would make it but was a no-show was Wizardofnothing -- don't know whether that was the result of a conflict or some name-in-red effect.
Group photo (short the latecomers) will be posted after I get home and probably on Wednesday afternoon.

So now I am home. The photo below is short not just the latecomers who arrived after the photo was taken but also a couple of folks who apparently did not wish to be documented as being part of such a rag-tag assembly. The setting, of course, is inside the 777 Brew Pub at Main Street Station.
From left to right, those appearing in the photo below are:
BlueEagle, a friend of sunrise089 (listed as a +1 in the previous post), Konbu, sunrise089, Paradigm, NicksGamingStuff, Doc, rdw4potus, TomG, a right-handed thumbs up from an otherwise incognito AxelWolf, PokerGrinder, DJTeddyBear, and The Wizard.
If I have misidentified anyone, please let me/us know.
Eta easter is on the 16th so the 8th will probably be better for everyone.
Quote: WizardofnothingWow talk about planning early, do airlines even take reservations a year in advance?
Lol no but conventions plan about that far out
Somebodies are responsible for profits/share value for the Airline. No doubt a complicated and convoluted set of 'what if' statements or scenarios. I would be more surprised if they set the fares and flights 'before' they had a picture of the major convention dates.Quote: WizardofnothingAlways thought that was weird that airlines didn't let you buy tickets- but there were conventions that planned that far ahead
Quote: GWAEOk I have my 2017 trip scheduled. I wil be there April 10-14 for the steel workers covention. So we need the meet up to either be the 8th or the 15th.

Um... I just got back from the last one lol. You married people with kids are weird, I have trouble planning more than about 12 hours in advance :)
Heck half the casinos in Vegas will have changed their names by next Spring Fling lol.

I looked again, I read the names. There is nothing about that Pic that SHOUTS;
"A tight knit highly synchronized Team of AP Ninjas has gathered.... The Casinos don't realize they should declare an emergency and close for the weekend"
That surveillance gig must be tough ;-)
And yes, Axel has a cute thumb.
And where's the dancing girls? Who organized this party anyway ;-)

For some unknown reason dancing girls do not seem to be attracted to us nerds. I would like to think they are just intimidated by our brilliant analytical minds but since they never even talk to us I doubt that is the reason. Besides, when they see DJ's car they probably think we play for the other team.
They declared an emergency on the $5 VP at Plaza.Quote: TwoFeathersATLQuote: DocSo now I am home.

I'm sure it Had nothing to do with spring fling, just the Plaza thread. I think only a few Spring flingers actually played the promotion.

Bellagios was open in February a few years ago. Don't know about this year.
Disregarding his distracting-from-this-question post above, I think you could blame AxelWolf for the shortage of dancing girls -- he forgot to bring them this time. Check the last photo of this post for the entourage he brought last year.Quote: TwoFeathersATLAnd where's the dancing girls?

I had already seen that pic (last year), that's why I asked. I was hoping you'd get a better pic of what's her name this year ;-)
<edit added> just for Doc. I still remember the classic joke Pic, the 'why did Doc cross the road to get a pic(s)' pics. I still chuckle, and that's all good..... Just 2F
The last couple years I was in Vegas in Mar. All pools were either open already or scheduled to open April 1, so I would guess you'd find swimming, but that's something the property can probably tell you well ahead.

The pools were open at both places I stayed for spring fling. I have found from my experience mid April all pools are open. I don't think I have found one closed unless it is under renovation.
What is this J O B you speak of?
