I would like to hook up with the pack on the way back. I am heading out early to visit family in California first then joining the festivities in Las Vegas.

We should get the group together for a little "mixer" in Vegas on Thursday or Friday when everybody is in town. PSMini can crash the party!

No doubt you can join a line in Yakima or Tri-Cities.  Check back once in a while as plans firm up.  Welcome!

I am booked. Only bad part is Dave won't be coming to AMVIV with me. He is so sorry to be missing this but his work schedule does not allow for this trip. The good news is he will be getting to do the Dragon a month later. Very excited to be seeing you all again and am even thinking I might have to fly out for the PT dates. No mini but maybe me and the kids. We miss Washington a lot and I didn't think that could happen. We will be doing Mini's On Top in late June so hopefully things won't overlap. Again so looking forward to seeing you all. Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and the New Year is treating them well.

Peace and Love to All....
Eileen    

PS No kids this year at AMVIV either just a girlfriend so time for me to    have a lil fun... Oh and might be looking for anyone who is willing to take us on the strip cruise...:)

Event advice needed:
 
Looking at the schedule of events for Friday (3/28) these two events seem to be mutually exclusive:
 
 

8:00am - 1:00pm Death Valley Run, returning to Pahrump for lunch and to watch round one of the North American MINI Cooper Challenge.

1:00pm - 3:30pm Red Rock Run. You may prepay your $5 park entry with registration or pay at the gate.

Assuming only one can be picked, which one would you choose?

Jack,
 
I've been to Red Rock and last year we did the Death Valley run. Red Rock is definitely the more scenic of the two, but Death Valley was one of those gotta see it places (always had an allure about it since a young boy). I'd say do Death Valley if you've never been there. Red Rock and or Valley of Fire are pretty close drives if you just wanted to do it on your own while your down there. Can't go wrong with either though.
 
Update: They have now added the Oatman/Route 66 run to the schedule by popular demand. Will be an all day drive on Thursday.

Thanks Martin - great to have input from someone who has done both.    DV is the morning run so it still might be possible to catch up with the group on the RR run in the afternoon.  planning on a Wednesday departure so it doesn't look like we'll be getting any kicks on Route 66...

Jack,

Do Red Rock it is awesome and you get an incredible amount of mini's that go. Was wild seeing the mini's snake into the park. It is one of the most beautiful places I have been. We did Death Valley also and it was an interesting ride but also very long and we were tired at the end of it and had the strip run that night.

Can't wait to see you all.

Good input Eileen and nice hearing from you!  (Dave too if he is following this).  I saw some pictures from the Red Rock run last year and they were beautiful.  Must remember to be prepared for late night activities - something I don't pay much attention to around here...

FYI..I contacted ALTA performance and they are coming down to AMVIV with their rig. They will be doing installs as well. You can contact them directly and they'll put get you at the top of the list if you want any work done (at least 2nd on the list..I'm already 1st!). We will be getting a pulley and rear-sway bar on the PeopleEater.

Aesthetic Creations will also be at AMVIV doing graphic installs.  If you have graphics you want, time to contact them and get on their list.  They do great work.

Do you have a list or count of how many of PSMini Members are going?
I just posted in the EmeraldMini Site that we have a caravan going down and asked if they wanted to join if we got close to each other!?

We are planning on doing the Death Valley run. We have a National Park passport and will need a stamp. We rarely have a car in Vegas so we have to take advantage. My sister votes for Death Valley as well.

Have to go now before it gets tooooo HOT!!
 
We are likely to leave on Tues to be down there on Wed.

I booked our room at the Palace Station last week.  Big%20smile
I have to work on Wednesday evening the 26th so most likely I will be leaving before everyone else and arriving in Vegas on Wednesday to work from the hotel that night. Not sure if both Jeff and I get to go but we both decided that if only one of us can be away from the office then it gets to be me. WooHoo 
If he can't go I will of course.. ummm be sad and lonely the entire time I am there..  Wink  LOL
 
Here is hoping there is not a repeat performance of the sand blasting to my aero kit since it will be a brand new front end I will be driving down there with..
Pinch (bump bump.. crrrsssh.. bump bump... eeerrtt...- Sounds a MINI hates to hear..)
 
Oh and for those of you with small children... It is still up in the air if Catalina and Adriana will be able to attend but if they will be attending (which they really really want to) they have offered to babysit some little ones in our room one evening so that Mom's and Dad's could have some together time in the Casino.

I hate to have to say this, but it looks like we will not be there this year.  We're looking at taking the whole family to Disneyland for spring break, which is the week after AMVIV.  :(  I need to call the Palace Station and cancel my reservation.

I'm bummed, but I console myself that it WILL happen one of these days.

cmk4, check out the "AMVIV Wagon Trains" thread.  Seems there are a number leaving Tuesday and some leaving Wednesday.  At the moment I'm planning on leaving on Wednesday, arriving in Vegas on Thursday.

I just booked my room and am so excited about going!!! I'm in Kennewick and I hope to hook up with the caravan on Wednesday, but unfortunately, I have to start heading back on Sunday. My husband has to work until Thursday, so he's flying down to join me there. I can't wait, I've never been to LV and to spend it with MINIs, it must be heaven!
So many roads, so little time!

Gina,

We are still only PS Mini members. I do check out the nemini boards for runs but it is nothing like PS Mini and how I miss that.

Check the AMVIV Wagon Trains thread.  I'm sure we can find a way to meet up with you.

Can someone tell me what the "Aces High Poker Run" is at AMVIV?

Also, for those who have been, would you recommend the Death Valley or Red Rock drive? Both sound fun, but sounds like the Death Valley drive is an all day drive? Thanks!

The poker run is a cruise through town following directions (sometimes clues) to checkpoints.  Every checkpoint will issue you one playing card.  Once you have the 5-cards you head back to HQ and turn them in.  The best hand among all participants, wins! 
One good turn deserves another...and another...
