Vegas - Various Meeting Room Rates Alexis Park = $600 full day, $400 half day. Scratch! Sunset Station - Still waiting. Embassy Suites - Still waiting. Ameri Suites = $300 full day with $50 set up fee. La Quinta Suites = $185 for eight hours, $100 for (4) hours. (includes coffee & water service) Fitzgeralds = $175 per four hours. Continental breakfast = $9 per person. Boulder Palms = No meeting rooms, closed after March 1st. Scratch! FWIW & IMHO. The stock market has trained me to look for answers that are not readily available. The 1st AIM Gathering was a success because it was not the main reason for the travel. I think the priority order was, Vacation, Vegas, Money Show and then AIM. I feel that there is definitely a pecking order for the weighting of each. The appeal has to be universal and equal for full time AIMer's as well as part time AIMer's to maximize participation. The difficult part is to satisfy all fronts with our fragile structure. Can't be done in the current format. But we must work toward that goal as best we can. Tom's goal is to move the AIM gatherings around the country, to give all a chance to participate in real time. I agree with this goal, but it takes long term planning. This can be achieved with the proper structure. I don't want anyone to miss understand me, I'm not being critical only subjective. Conclusion and vote. 1st. I'm a full time dedicated AIM advocate. I am lucky enough to be able to attend any AIM Meeting any place any time. So scratch me! 2nd. My wife doesn't give a rats ass about AIM. She wants the vacation part and the entertainment aspect. She loves to travel, but wants to spend her money and time on her own terms. 3rd. The faster you run the car the quicker you burn up the fuel. Tom is very wise and has a heart of Gold! He doesn't want us to burn out or feel pressured. We have to pace our selves between the meetings. Like AIM, we are here for the long haul. So to close. If the gathering is to be in May, I vote for Vegas. If it is to be at a latter date, then I vote for a new location (Port Washington, Boston, San Francisco Etc.). Let your thoughts be known. It is decision time for this group. Keith
