UsCon Lexx Vegas Hotel Info
Public Service Announcement: Let me again remind everyone that this convention is more of a Lexx vacation or a glorified pub crawl if you will, and that there are no plans of trying to shanghi any cast to it. End Announcement.
Ahem… yes, and I am really behind in updating this thing! Sorry
The date chosen was Friday May 17th thru Sunday May 19th. This was announced originally at the end of December.
Last Friday after the Lexx Chat there was a short meeting to try and hash out the hotel room thing. The thinking being that it would make life easier for all concerned it we stayed at one or two hotels rather than scattered all over the place.
Three people showed up.
We tried, really tried to go off strip, but unfortunately everyone that showed up, (me, Auora and FX) wanted to stay in a new hotel on the strip. We were going to try the Golden Nugget, really, we were! Honest. I pretty much fussed the other two into agreeing, and when I told theSpouse he had a cow!
He has stayed several times in the older section and refused to take me there. He said he didn’t know what the golden nuggets rooms were like, but the casino was a dump. Or at least it was last time he was there. And unfortunately he was down on the whole ‘off strip’ thing. He has stayed there every time he has gone to Vegas, and he wasn’t agoing to do it again.
So Auora and I ended up booking at the MGM GrandTower, and I immagine FX will also if she can clear that week end. HK said he is also going to book at the MGM, Marty K being a more adventurous soul has mad his plane ressies but is waiting to see if he can catch the MGM running a special.
I looked in to HK’s suggestion of the Barbary Coast. Since a smaller hotel might be easier some. And it is just down the road. But again I ran into Spouse resistance, but it really isn’t his fault, we had a bad experience with a newly renovated hotel this summer that was a dump. Normally I would argue with the best of them, but he has been there before, and I have not. But it might make a nice choice for the Second Hotel as it is only a few blocks away and more reasonable.

email me when and where you are staying and I will post it on the UsCon Lexx Vegas Page, which I am working on, even as I type.
