Official SEMA 2005 thread
 

Guys - Jody, Brent and I have been talking and decided it's time to get the ball rolling on SEMA. We're trying to decide where we're going to stay, and we'd prefer to stay on the strip.

As for myself, I'm planning on flying in on Tuesday, November 1st and flying home Saturday late morning/early afternoon.

Let's get this started and make some decisions this month. :thumbsup:

Hey, I'm easy Scott. Are you still looking at getting a discounted rate on a block of rooms?

My local union sent a few others and I down to Vegas a couple of years ago. We ended up staying at the Flamingo, it wasn't bad and had reasonable rates as I remember.

I am in. Last year was a blast. Just tell me what to do. I'll fly in on Tuesdy and fly out on either Friday or Saturday.

Bill does this mean you are going this year?? Man I cant get you to go to Oregon, but LV isn't a problem? J/K LOL :)

Right now we are planning on going...this will be our 3rd year in a row!!! :thumbsup:

Hey Scott, you seem to know a lot of the right people, is there any way we can get a list of what and where the more popular builders entries are? For the past couple of years I feel I made my rounds pretty well, to find out later in the TV year that I missed all kinds of neet stuff...usually it's on 'Rides' that I see what I missed out on seeing!!

Oh Vegas talk already :willy:

I'll be there every single day this year (just like last) but with a hitch. We're making our Chevelle's first public appearance (other than testing) in the 20'x 20' RE Audio booth...so you'll guys will get to see it in person. I'm terrified...
:cool:

Last year I weenied out a bit, though. I usually made it to about 2Pm and my feet would be killing me so i'd have to pretty much take it easy for the rest of the day. Also, I showed up to the P-T dinner an hour late because I'm retarded (got the time wrong) and was downstairs gambling and drinking. I didn't miss dessert, though ;)

I know I will be there the whole week.. don't know where they are putting us but I want to party with you guys!!!

First round is on me :yes:

Sounds like a plan to me!

Jody

Oh me too, I might have to have a little liquor in me to keep from throwing up.

My wife and I will be there oct 31 to nov 5. We stayed at the flamingo two years ago and it wasnt bad. Might stay there this year unless I win the lottery.

My wife and I have stayed at
MGM
Star dust(woo hoo 70s)
NewyorkNewYorkPlams
Hard Rock

Ohter than the Star dust there all pretty nice.

Scott & I have been talking this past week & have decided that Treasure Island is where we are going to stay. I'm booking mine through www.vegas.com I have found this site to have the best deals. For me airfare (out of Sacramento,Ca) & Hotel is is $455.00 per person when you book 2 people in a room. The earlier you book the cheaper it will be!! Last year we waited a little to long & paid the price.

Just booked the same flights and hotel as you Brent. You're going to have someone else to chat with on the flight! :eek:

Jody

I just booked Treasure Island as well, arriving Tuesday morning and leaving Friday night. Trush and I are splitting a room. Can't wait!

all be flying in around early afternoon on Thurs. and leave out sat. night
I am looking forward to meeting all you guys. I will be 21 as of Oct. of this year!

2005 sema
 

hey that sounds great i have not been to sema and have dying to go. i will look ito booking a flight and a room, look forward to meeting some of you guys. and having a few drinks :yes: :willy:

Scott- We will be there. Probably come in Thurs / leave Sat nite.

Is it that time already? Guess I need to look into flight/hotel reservations as well, I regretted not going last year.

We are there! Treasure Island Getting there Monday Evening leaving Friday evening.

Bill !! IM me, dude. Vegas Beware :unibrow:

By the way, I dont smoke, But I somehow "came up" with a box of Cubans. One for every Lateral-G sissy that shows up. :D

You've got mail Jimbo, but disregard part of it, as I sent it before I read this post.

My girlfriend hosted an event at the Palace Station Hotel/Casino this year and reserved a block of 40 rooms and booked them all as well as one of their ballrooms so she has great rapport with the hosts over there. I know a few of you want to be right off the strip but the Palace Station is literally on the other side of the freeway off Sahara (just 1 mile down from NASCAR cafe).
So if anyone here wants a decent place for a good price, I'm sure we could arrange it since we live out here. I think we got quoted $49 a room(courtyard) when we had the block reserved for her event. Anyone interested?

I took care of airfare this morning. Fly in early Tuesday and fly home late Friday.

Booked the trip last week. Fly in Tuesday morning & leave Friday night. See you guys at Treasure Island! Or the local strip club!! :unibrow:

I guess you guys were right about Brent....... :D I can't wait! It'll be a blast to finally meet all of you guys in person.

Brent, you shouldn't have brought that up! You guys have no idea how popular Brent was with... ahhh... the ladies in Vegas. :lolhit:

I took care of my hotel resurvation today and booked at TI for Tuesday to Friday.

Treasure Island
 

All you guys staying at Treasure Island need to go see Mystere.Circue Du Solei... I can't describe is accurately but it is absolutely awsome. It is expensive but well worth it. I like it alot better than "O" at Bellagio.

I got my reservation confirmations yesterday. I will have the TwinSting Vette in the Mickey Thompson booth showing off the new radial street tires. I will be in town from Sunday night until Saturday I guess. I am looking forward to meeting you all.

Very cool! We'll be there!

Jody

Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you, Shaun. :thumbsup:

Hey guys count me in! :willy:

Made the mistake of missing it this year! :eek:

Isn't it November 1st?

You didn't miss it this year it's not till November lol :unibrow:
Its November 1-4.

You'll definitely have to hook up with us Shaun...... We're a mellow crowd; really. ;)

You think you got it bad, I am rooming with Scott!!!:P...
