Cameron's 2009 AVLV Lost Weekend Trip Report: THE FINAL CHAPTER



Here is some miscellaneous info that is worth mentioning as I wrap up the
TR.

- I'd like to thank everyone who pulled off all the events for the Lost
Weekend. Everything from the The Fab to the dinner @ MSS was top-notch
entertaining. Very well done. I'd also like to thank Walt, EE, Cyberhog, &
Rob "Fancypants" Taylor for giving me rides to & from various events.

- Lynn had a lecture on Las Vegas & the Mob that was held in the banquet
room of the El Cortez. One of the ElCo's top brass, Mike Nolan, stopped by
to answer questions. I asked him if the El Cortez would think about getting
a Sigma Derby machine. He said it's quite possible, because they've got room
on the casino floor now to do that.

- I'm still not sure I should write about the night @ Olympic Gardens. Most
of you won't believe me, so I think that's best left to Cyberhog's trip
report.

- Here are some pics of the El Cortez Cabana Suites. This is room 6311, on
the 3rd floor. Forgive me for the bad photography.

And here is a picture of a pickup hauling a trailer filled with the lounge
chairs from the Westward Ho:

I hope you enjoyed my trip report & thank you for reading. If I think of
anything else, I'll post it as a reply in this thread.
