77 Days and Counting...

Gentlemen (and Tuccio),

While you all sit reaping the obvious benefits of the economic stimulus package, Brock and I are hard at work planning for what promises to be your best birthday party ever.

Just 77 days from today, we’ll be on our way. Double lucky 7’s to throw some “player” jargon at you.

In any event, we need to run something past the group. Without ruining the surprise, we have a very compelling opportunity for a place to stay. I’m talking memorable… something that you’ll tell your grandchildren about unless you kill too many brain cells on this trip.

The cost will be no more than $240/person/night and likely more like $195/person/night once we get final confirmation from a couple people in this group.

Now, we could definitely pay less with standard hotel rooms (probably in the $125-$150/person/night), so I’m trying to gauge your thoughts on the accommodations. Please let me know ASAP if you’re willing to pay a little more. All I can tell you is we think the extra money would be well worth it for our overall enjoyment.

Finally, Brock has spent his time since returning from Hawaii working on four tee times, so we still need to know the golfing plans from Counselor, and the final trip confirmation and golfing plans from Tom and Thor (aka Greg Big Ring Schultz Thunderburger). I have messages into all of them. I think Eric had my message screened by one of his “secretaries”, Tom is trying to find his phone that he left at Hooters, and I know Greg is busy hanging out in Carmel with Clint Eastwood (no joke). In any event, I hope to hear back from all three of them shortly.

Please send me a quick note on your thoughts on the accommodations. We’ll see where the majority of votes come back and take it from there. Stay tuned… the outbound communications plan in support of our Vegas strategy are now entering the ramp phase (aka you’ll be hearing from us a lot more frequently).

p.s. As indicated in the note to Dennis this week, please plan your flights for a ~7pm arrival on May 13th and a flight back on May 17th ~5pm. Colorado contingent – we’re watching flights & rates and will send you a note when we think it’s time to book.
