Mickey,

I'll let you know in January though I'll try my best to come. If I make it, then a few different cocktails would be my pleasure depending on what ingredients are available in Vegas.

My only problem is that I am in the initial stages of a very new business and have no idea what is likely to happen by the show date.

Best wishes and good hunting, everyone!

500Nitro,

I would like to make it to the show in Las Vegas although I think I might have to be in Tasmania about that time.

Also if you are able to come to the USA for a couple of weeks, the Dallas Safari Club show will be held Jan. 26-29.

Richard.

Are you going to SHOT show? I dont have a booth, just cruising around saying g'day

Thanks for the info about the other gunshow - I hope I have time for a look there.

RGP - do you go to Dallas SC? I will be there too - be good to meet up if so.

If anyone is interested in having a chat about our hunting, I will be going to Reno, Dallas, then Dortmund, stop in at London, NYC, then onto SHOT show, SCI fundraisers at either Birmingham Al or Charleston SC (havent decided which one yet) and the Altanta GA on the 25th. Always keen to meet up with Nitroexpress members for a chat and maybe a 'brew'

, if the occasion permits.

Cheers
Matt

Matt,

Yes I have to go to the Dallas show because I've got to go to booth #247 and get fitted for a double rifle. I've never been to either the Dallas or the Las Vegas shows before.

I'll be glad to see you there and show you the beer and Mexican restaurants that can be found in abundance in Dallas.

Yes, I will be going to SHOT show but between 9 and 5 I am pretty
much flat out doing business - after all, I go there to work, not have
a holiday !!!

I also have to make time to go to the Arms Show and dinner and
drinks with everyone from this forum, hence my reason
for the original post.

Probably best to book a time to meet at a certain location.

It's 200 Mi or 320Km, whichever works for you.
2 1/2 hr. drive except on weekends, then it's anybodys
guess.

WE can meet at my table during the show. I'm at the Beinfeld Show. I won't know my location until the show itself. There is a fine show catalog and it has a map and list of table holders and their location. It is free, too.

Butch's number is 760-762-6131. He will come, too, but I don't know if he has a table at the Shot Show or not. He will have a booth at the Safari Club show in Reno in January.

There are many really fine buffets in Vegas which would be good meeting places in the evening. The only bad one is Circus Circus. Then there is always the Palomino Club, but our attentions would be elsewhere.

Meeting at your table sounds great - one location
everyone should be able to find.

Matt

I'll give you a location to meet me at the
Shot Show once I know my timetable.

I am also going to get a mobile phone that works
in the US so that should help.

Could you send me an email? mattgraham@huntaust.com.au so I can ask a couple of questions.

RGP - I will make another post in a few weeks with all of my booth numbers for the various shows we are going to, including Dallas, so we can catch-up.

Cheers all
Matt

Is this something like the mustang ranch?

The Palomino club is a strip club at the far East end of the strip. Very funny MC if he is still there (and who would retire from THAT job).

I just want the group to know my wife and I just booked our reservations for the Vegas show.

Thursday Feb 9, 2006 arrive Las Vegas 10:00 a.m.
Monday Feb 13, 2006 depart Las Vegas 12:40 p.m.

We are staying at the Tropicana. We have stayed there quite a few times and always have found their accommodations to be well done.

I hope to meet some of the members on this trip. Hopefully all will keep others up to date on their travel plans.

Best regards,
Curl

CptCurl,

Good to hear and look forward to meeting you.
I am just in the process of booking my flights and accomodation.

OK Guys, we need to start looking at a dinner booking etc etc
for one of the nights.

US Based Co-ordinator

This is an open invitiation to suggestions re dinner and for someone who
is US based who knows LV well to do the bookings when a final decision
has been made.

We also need to confirm how many will be able to get there.

There is a really great steak house at the Stardust. The name is William B's.

Also, the Top of the World restaurant on top of the Stratosphere is a great place. More expensive than William B's, but a fabulous view.

Hi guys

I am in for a dinner with anyone who is keen. Just name the place, date and time. I know nothing about LV except they have lots of casinos (no interest to me) and you can apparently get a good seafood buffet (great interest).

Incidently if anyone is travelling alone I would be keen to split a room with someone who wouldnt mind sharing with a crusty buffalo guide. Not that crusty really I guess...

Cheers all
Matt Graham

I too plan on going to the show, although I wont know my February schedule until mid January. Besides looking at fine weapons, having a few (or more) cold ones with all of you sounds like a good time! Armbar.

Matt,

"sharing with a crusty buffalo guide. Not that crusty really I guess..."
Bullshit - from what XXXXXXX tells me crusty is the the perfect word !!!

Matt - call me on the mobile - I will split a room with you.
Probably will stay at Circus Circus or Stardust - they are not the best
but close to Convention centre is more important to me than being
in the "thick of the action".

Just got off the phone with Roscoe (see post above re possible dinner places.

I am all for a Steak place (- I have been to William B's and enjoyed it)
and would like to go to Straosphere. I also agree that the Seafood Buffets ae great.

The best overall Las Vegas buffet is at the Bellagio casino. The best seafood buffet in Las Vegas is at the Rio.

I would avoid the Circus Circus as it is old and disgusting. Better to stay in the Paris Casino, which is reasonable but quite nice. The Luxor is also reasonable but not as nice as the Paris. Treasure Island costs a bit more and is fine. The Venetian and Bellagio are nicer but are not worth the price. Caeser's Palace is pretty good and not too outrageous in price (usually). For a bargain, check room availability at Sam's Town.
