It sounds like a few of us will be in town this weekend looking for a place to stay. Would any of you like to get together for lunch or dinner on saturday? My only visit to Pikeville was for my interview, and I do not have any appointments set up, so I am not sure of a time, but if someone who is familiar with the area would like to suggest a time and a place, I would like to meet some of you.
Speaking of Vegas, I just got back from my second trip to Vegas this summer, and second of my life. I went about a month ago for a bachlor party, which was tame by Vegas standards but alot of fun for a first timer. Then I went this weekend to celebrate my Brother in Laws Birthday. It was a family trip but was also fun. Stay away from the Econolodge on S Las Vegas, it is cheap, i.e. 47 a night, but is a 15 dollar cab ride from the heart of the strip. We stayed at Bally's and Rio. The Rio was amazing, and you should call around, some hotels have good last minute rates if you will be there on a sunday night or during the week. We payed 90 for a suite at the Rio.
Have fun and be good.
