| .Ralph always plans a couple of . . . quiet little get-togethers, to fill those lonely evening hours that we all have . . . . in Las Vegas! This year is no exception. Remember to check your registration form if you will be bringing guests to these events, and include the appropriate fees. |
| Friday Evening: We keep it simple, transportation-wise, on Friday night, only moving the group about a hundred yards -- from the Apollo Ballroom to poolside, for a little "Happy Hours". (yes, plural!) Its a great opportunity to spend some quality time with all those people we email each day, but only see once a year.

Saturday Evening The Saturday evening social event this year will be a private party at Madame Tussaud's Celebrity Encounter at The Venetian, a $20 million, two-story exhibit (one of just five world-wide) that opened last July. It features five themed environments showcasing more than 100 of the world's most popular film, television, music and sport celebrities, as well as legendary Las Vegas icons. Rub shoulders with gaming legend Bugsy Siegel, Hollywood icons Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor; and music stars Wayne Newton, Tom Jones and Liberace. There's Elvis too, of course. We'll have three hours to roam the rooms. You can get up-close-and-personal with all of them. (Bring your camera!) The only thing you can't get is autographs. This spectacular event is made possible by the generous support of a number of industry sponsors, identified below.
