So I dont forget or loose the room rate code for those going to stay at the Mandalay Bay where the 2005 LVCKS will be held...STRGR5 for a standard room the price is Thu $199, Fri $229 and Sat $229

My wife and I always stay at the Luxor so I just made reservations for a deluxe room in the Pyramid with a strip view for Thu $89 Fri $139 Sat $139 and Sun $89 using the code TLVM05 which is for the marathon

now to fly or drive...from San Jose to Las Vegas round trip 1 ticket on American West the cost $155.70
drive: fun and get to drive 160mph in certain areas, infrared photography in the desert, bring a Engnath blade in the car and bring back sharp goodies, no taxi needed...but takes along time there and back again
wings: fast, car left in San Jose (barf) no sharp objects to take or bring back (big barf) cheaper than driving, maybe?

also to add...during the same time as the Las Vegas Classic Knife Show...there will be the Las Vegas Antique Arms Show in conjunction with the International Sporting Arms Show...

Thanks, Ben !
I'm seriously considering attending the show this year .....
So don't be too surprised if you hear the scream .... "Mac has entered the building" !!

;-) Mac

I should be there with my wife in tow!

(Or maybe she'll be keeping a leash on me?)

I'll be there, though with a new job, I probably won't be able to Friday off, so mostly likely I won't be there until Saturday. Of course a friend is also getting me a pass to the SHOT show, which is also being held in Vegas that weekend, so I expect to be dead tired by Sunday PM.

Mac, it would be great to see you again.

Patrick and Ben, it would be great to finally meet you both.

Nathan Robinson, how's your schedule working out? Think you can make it this year?

looking forward to meeting everyone + either me or my wife harassing the Albion table since they dont know what we look like :lol: ....anyone up for a rollercoaster ride at the top of the Stratosphere?

The list is up! :eek: did I miss Abion on the list? Howy and Crew you guys still showing up?

LOL!!! I just noticed something on the list. We are listed under Michael Sigman :-D I guess Amy and Howy better watch out now. :eek:

So who's going?

I'll be there late Friday. Probably SHOT Show on Saturday, though, I might be available for dinner or post dinner get together Saturday night. Most likely I'll hit the Knife Show on Sunday. Most likely I'll bring a posse of scary looking Asian guys.

I'm in. Who else?

With Patrick's decision and not hearing from the others who promised to get back to me several weeks ago...

I guess I won't be going, either. Yeah. I'll make that choice now. No, I won't be going.

Next time I got to Vegas will be to have fun and party the old-fashioned Vegas way without swords and whatnot.

Like Patrick, I'll go to Atlanta next year, though.

Hey Mac, I did not want to hijack your thread with this Vegas one....Are you also driving or flying in to Vegas? If your flying in and coming alone I might be able to pick you up at the airport...let me know

Hey Howy and Crew will you guys be set up in time on Thurs for those that will be entering under the Honored Guests?

I am sure hoping to be set up at a good time on Thursday. I arrive at about noon. I will be checking into the hotel and heading right over to set up. So it maybe a little later in the day - but I should have everything set up by Thursday night.
