Just wondering if there are any CBn-er located in Las Vegas? For a possible meet up with any Los Angeles CBn-er who happen to be going to Vegas anytime soon.

I'll actually be in Vegas for a high school reunion from June 23rd to the 26th and will be staying at the Aladdin. Any CBn'ers who are going to be there at that time please feel free to PM me and we'll see if we can meet up!

Bryce and Bellucci are in!
Details to follow, but we'll be there. Either for the Friday or Saturday show and - breaking my track record of spoiling us at the Palms - we'll be at the MGM. Miss B loves to play with the lions.
Now if I can just get her a CBn thong to toss on stage....

Done, done and done!
We'll be at the MGM and have front row seats (*bows* Thank you very much!) for TJ on the 7th! We're in on the afternoon of the 6th and will probably be out looking for trouble - granted, it generally knows where to find us - but, nonetheless, expect some wild times.
What is it about that town?
*Bryce ponders*
Look out Sin City...003 is on the prowl!
Miss B is debating which thong to throw on stage....

Damn looks like I won't be in Vegas in time to catch Tom Jones. Oh well, he's not high on my list of must-see concerts at the moment!

Well....
Having returned once again from Vegas....
TOM JONES ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!!!
He did a 90 minute show and is amazing in person.
When he kicked into "She's a Lady" the lingerie started flying...Including Miss Bellucci's CBn thong.
He almost grabbed it, but did seem to take note that there was something printed on it.
Had he, I'm sure "Thunderball" would have been the next number. However, TB didn't make it on the play list. ...but he definately brought out his best and his band was tight and he gave a full 100% on stage.
We were stage side (table #3 - oddly appropriate for Bryce) and he really knocked it out of the park....and the women went crazy.
Between numbers, he was cracking the crowd up and making fun of himself and his fans. It was a treat.
TJ - "You know, interviewers these days make light of the "various items" that seem to find their way to the stage when I'm out here and have aksed if the only difference between now and then is the size of the "items". (big laughs) Usually asking if they've gotten larger as the years have passed. (Bigger laughs). I tell them that they've actually gotten smaller. We didn't have thongs in the 60's (picking up one piece - two small triangles and some string essentially - in green satin and lace)..I mean...these...What is this? An Eye-patch?"
That brought down the house and then he launched right into "It's Not Unusual" while giving skeptical looks to the dozen or so various articles littering the stage between verses.
BTW - Guys....He does seem to put ladies in a certain "mood"....I can vouch that it's a good thing.
If you should have the chance, he's worth every penny and gives it back to you with every second he's on stage.
The MGM was a great venue and "up to their usual high standards" - I quite enjoyed the suite we had. A little gaming left Miss B and I a little ahead overall and prior to the show, we had a magnificent dinner at Emiril's restaurant (fantastic seafood chased down by excellent martini's) and then headed to check out the show.
I do have to wonder about the thong....I mean somebody does have to collect them from the stage after the show...Maybe...Just maybe CBn's on his radar now...
Man....I love Vegas.

I would go to Vegas, but I am not allowed back in the city limits anymore. Neither are 10 of my other friends after what we did there last time.

OH MAN! I just saw that Sheena Easton will be appearing at The Aladdin (which is where I'll be staying when I go to Vegas) starting this Friday and running through June 9th! However, once again I'm going to miss her because I won't be there in time! Damn! 
It would have been great to see her in concert, not only for For Your Eyes Only, but hopefully for the song Follow My Rainbow which she sang on Miami Vice (she played Catlin Davies, who actualy ends up marrying Sonny Crockett, but tragically gets killed off!).

And... on top of Tom Jones performing in Las Vegas... If anyone was paying attention to the Title Song Performers of the Dalton Era you will also notice that Gladys Knight is perfornig LIVE in Las Vegas at the Flamingo (caesars.com) indefinitely.
Truth be told I got dragged to her performance at the Flamingo last year. She did not do "Licence to Kill"

Not my bag, but it wasn't bad. A lot of her fans that were in attendance seemed to really enjoy it.
