OK...I'm going at the beginning of August because:
a. I've got some free time then and
b. it's a comparatively fun and cheap destination
I KNOW it's hotter than a witch's tit...don't get me started
In answer to a couple of posts up re stuff going on in town, I didn't plan my trip around any event.
Apparently, there was a "Lifestyles" (ie, swingers) convention at the end of August in '07, but my savvy internet search didn't come up with anything this year.
There is a Star Trek convention a week into August, right after I'm gone. (Actually, the Star Trek experience at the Hilton is slated to close forever Sept 1, so I'll be glad to catch that)
Oh yeah, there is a black nurses convention the first week of august, with 1500 slated to attend Aug 1-11 at Mandalay Bay (for all you black and/or nurses fetishists

)
As well, there is an American Probabation and Parole convention (handcuffs, anyone??)
I guess I'm just fishing to see if anybody of common interest (ie perbites/perbettes) will be there at the same time.
