IMO the food prices were not that high, I guess it's what you used to & you are in Vegas so their gonna get you one way or the other. For 3 hours & 50 people that is $21 per person to cover the room. If $50.00 per person
was in most price ranges, that would allow $29.00 for meal (doable) & limited drink. As long as the meal prices did not increase since we were using the Captian's Room. IMO we need more than 2 hours.

I think 3 hours would be ample. 2 isn't enough.

David - I know this has to be a frustrating situation - trying to find a place to keep cost reasonable and still have amenities that we need. Priority one in my mind is the having a good place to socialize - food of lack of it at the party- is not much of a consideration for us. Have you checked with the Hilton about a meeting room with just a cash bar setup and appetizers? I apologize for even asking if you have already done so.
Year before last Xenetech had a room meeting/social room with food (more than appetizers & very good) at the Hilton - I have no idea what it cost.
New Hermes - had a room at the Convention center that they used all day and late into the evening - they had snacks/ appetizers & drinks - could that be a possibility?
In my past life one of the things I had to do was locate and organize meetings rooms (most included meals) in small towns and cities in my area - it was always a pain in the behind. I applaud you for doing this and feel your pain.

Dave,
I have the "scoop" from Xenetech for you. I'll email you the details I have. Jessica Hoffpauir-Freeman (at Xenetech) has set this up the last few years and knows her way around the catering dept. at the Hilton!

I'm awaiting a call from the Hilton activities person.
We'll compare notes. :-)

With her personality and connections, there's no limit to the fun!
Hmmm.....she might even show certain equipment manufacturers the huge benefits of hosting this event for us..... ;-)

David,
Joe has the solution I think. While the Captains lounge is really nice, and would be a lot of fun a simple meeting roome with a no host bar a pupu's ( appetizers) would work just fine.
Think back to the A&E show in Long Beach two years ago. It was truly just that a meeting room with appetizers and no host bar. Everyone seemed to have a GREAT time.
Just my two cents.
I also vote Aye for Jeanette being second vice president to the commander in charge of the president of the catering/entertainment department chief of the organizational committee chair staff.
Do we have a day yet? I need to make reservations for Cirque de sol whatever "Love".
Thanks

That's the direction we're looking into. As Joe says, the main objective is to find a spot to rub elbows with our comrades. :-)
Thanks for the input.

Just think of the price of THAT name plate when she goes into thingsremembered to get it engraved. 8-O
ex: $3.00 per word - that would be $72.00, but the good news is - that includes the plate! (devil)

DUDE!
Thursday or Friday? Since it appears that a meeting room is going to be the way to go I submit Thursday, but it really doesn't matter to me one way or another I just need to know so I can make reservations for the Cirque Du Soleil "Love" at the Mirage.
Thanks

We're still gunning for Thursday. Still some calls to be made, but (fingers crossed) I think we're on the verge of a very cost-effective solution.
