As you say, The Beach Party theme may not always apply. In any even it will always be the Annual Engraving Etc. ARA after-party. :-)

God forbid, we should take that large of a crowd back to Quark's, would we call it the "Quark's Party"? Hopefully not.
I think it it should be held AT "The Beach" until we're sick of it....for several reasons.
1. It's unbelievably convenient to the convention center.
2. It's large enough.
3. The second floor room that we use is private with a bar, dance floor, PA system, etc.
But even if it is NOT held at The Beach, I think the reference to "Beach Party" fits our group at this point regardless of where it is held. We now have a historical use of the phrase.
And besides, Las Vegas is kinda like "the beach"...without the water. B-)

I agree that "The Beach" is so conveniently located, with all the ammenities, that we'd need a serious reason to change venues.
We occupied a small portion of the overall available space, making a much larger party, easy to accomodate, if necessary.
The special events coordinator, Barry, was very easy to work with and very flexible.

The "Beach Party" name sounds great, no matter the venue.
We enjoyed the place, except for the cost of drinks. Fortunately we don't drink. :O

I was impressed by the number of people we were able to attract, this time around.
I expect next year's get-together to be bigger and better, in the way of food items and more affordable (or free) drinks, to the more "thirsty" forum members. :-)
PS - Are you always as happy as you appeared to be, or were you just happy to be in Las Vegas with the EE gang? :-)

Okay since I've been to both beach parties plus CF's luv in B-) . We fixed one problem this year - ie no music - even though a little hula music would have given Hula Boy something to dance to. (devil) If we return next year - I'd like to request they turn the lights up.
As I have mentioned to David, I wondered if we could get any type of 'deal' with the Hilton for a night (I saw several rooms empty every night.) That would perhaps allow more to 'drop in' - specially when so many other 'vendor parties' are going on at the same time. Just a thought.

David,
My vote would be the 2nd annual beach party....as well.....lets just get some music live or otherwise, and I agree with Zona, have them turn up the lights.

David,
I'm certainly not always happy, but God has given me JOY. I've been blessed way beyond anything I ever deserved.
I have a wonderful wife, and a fantastic daughter. We have our faith, and that keeps us strong.
We're having a major struggle with Janna's job right now, so the "happiness" is tough to find...but there's still JOY.
Incidently, I thought up with a song while we were in Vegas, and I wanted to talk to you about it...but didn't have time. I'll tell you about it in a PM.

I didn't realize Janna worked outside of your business. I hope that situation looks up for her.
I've said many times on the forum, that after being on my own, since 1990, I've become virtually unemployable.
Self-employment certainly isn't for everyone, but it sure beats working for a living. :-)

Did it have "Viva" in it? ;-)

Ummm...no.
I shared it with David L, and he's welcome to share it if he'd like to.

I was amused with your premise for a song, based on something you saw in Las Vegas.
It sounds like something Arlo Guthrie could handle. :-)

The song would be good in an "Alice's Restaurant" narrative style, with some guitar riffing in the background.
I'll sign off now. The amplification is bothering Uncle Steve. >.<
