DwaineO · February 26, 2009 10:41AM

I am

about it.

I love Vegas.

19Lyds · February 26, 2009 10:42AM

It sure would be nice!

It would be even nicer if they still used coin in their slot machines!!

SCDHunter · February 26, 2009 10:46AM

I must have missed the news about PCGS getting bailout money!

ProofArtworkonCircs · February 26, 2009 10:47AM

<<It would be even nicer if they still used coin in their slot machines!!>>

Whoa, there, Lee! Have you ever seen what they look like? To impress the folk, the coins are dropped from a higher height to create a greater racket. They end up chewed up.

AUandAG · February 26, 2009 11:03AM

Yoooooo Hooooooooooooooo, I'm here already!

Thanks,
bob

rays · February 26, 2009 11:10AM

Which (25) dealers are invited? Seems a small number.

Barndog · February 26, 2009 11:19AM

one week later and I would be there (Mrs. BD is running a marathon a week after the show). Dang!

Bochiman · February 26, 2009 12:13PM

That falls on my birthday (that Friday) so I would love to have gone....but, work precludes fun and I will be in Asia instead (Korea/China/Japan)
I don't know whether to

or be

for that

lkeigwin · February 26, 2009 12:30PM

I already asked the missus. We're on. Half our money on gambling/entertainment, half on coins. Good thing I'm the bookkeeper.

DonWillis · February 26, 2009 12:35PM

We are really looking forward to this show. We really don't know what to expect but I already know there will be a lot more than the 25 dealers. Plus we're hoping that we will have a nice turnout from the collector community. I've spoken with several that plan to attend.

This is a new venture for us. It will be exclusive, but free, to all PCGS dealers and club members.

It should be a fun couple of days at the Venetian.

droopyd · February 26, 2009 1:15PM

We're always looking for an excuse to go to Vegas.

But if I go to this show, I am out the door by Friday noon. Vegas over the weekend is insufferable.

Tootawl · February 26, 2009 1:31PM

WOW! Even I got an invite!

QuarterCollector · February 26, 2009 1:32PM

I'm going but I just have to convince my wife. Any ideas???

Tom

ArizonaJack · February 26, 2009 1:49PM

I ran it by the wife, she said lets do it !!! BUT, I have to make sure this does not conflict with the MSNS show, I'll check my dates and get back.

EDIT: Looks good to me, see ya there

Halfsense · February 26, 2009 1:50PM

We have two mottos here in Sin City.

"The money that comes to Vegas, stays in Vegas...."

and

"Las Vegas: Seven Deadly Sins -- One Convenient Location!"

Casual dining restaurant recommendation at The Venetian is Grand Lux Cafe. It is operated by the same company that operates the Cheesecake Factory. Extensive menu with excellent, large portions and reasonably priced considering your location on The Strip and what you might get elsewhere at some prominent-name-chef restaurant where they put a few leaves of spinach on a tiny plate, call it a fancy speciality salad and charge twenty bucks.

Bcsican · February 26, 2009 2:01PM

I live in Vegas...so I will be there.....

DennisH · February 26, 2009 3:02PM

I'll be there Thursday only.

TwoSides2aCoin · February 26, 2009 3:30PM

I went to Vegas two different times with two different women.
I don't remember much else except that I had less money when I got back home.

robkool · February 26, 2009 4:57PM

See ya there...

illini420 · February 26, 2009 5:21PM

I'm always up for a road trip to Vegas! Would like to hear more details and what dealers plan on attending.

BlindedByEgo · February 26, 2009 5:26PM

Funny, I'm posting this from Vegas right now - here for the American Acadamy of Orthopaedic Surgery conference. Drunk doctors behaving badly

Race car driving tomorrow. Guess it beats working.

April is just enough time away - usually it takes me at least six weeks to recover. I'll come back for the coin show if it doesn't conflict with my youngest girls' Easter vacation.

illini420 · February 26, 2009 5:28PM

You do know there's a show in Vegas right now too, right?? Feb 27-Mar1 at the Plaza Hotel downtown... haven't been to it before but heard that it's ok.

Lat time I went Downtown, bad things happened.

DonWillis · February 27, 2009 2:27AM

We will publish a list of table holders in a couple of weeks. As I said already there will be a lot of other dealers in attendance as well.

Meanwhile you might contact your favorite dealer and ask him if he'll be there.

If you plan on attending you should contact Ana and have her reserve your hotel room. The $129 room rate won't last forever.

zeebob · February 27, 2009 2:29AM

Tell her you have to go on a business trip. (which is true in a deceptive sort of a way)

DonWillis · February 27, 2009 2:33AM

If you need to convince the wife - here is a list of Vegas shows. That's what convinced mine!

tradedollarnut · February 27, 2009 2:33AM

As empty as the Venetian and Palazzo are, it should!

coinsarefun · February 27, 2009 2:41AM

I get a free room for usually 5 nights, food and $$$ for gambling.....all the time

I get frequent visitor miles

Stefanie

ilikebuffaloes · February 27, 2009 2:55AM

Sounds like fun, but I just got back from Vegas. I had a great time, ate well and my wallet lost weight!

I can't make this show because I am going back in May for the USBC National Bowling Tournament and 3 trips to Vegas in 4 months just won't happen for me.

But please post about all of the things that I miss! (feel free to rub it in!)

Barcat · February 27, 2009 3:19AM

My husband and I already have reservations at the Venetian for the 17,18,19. The rooms are free-bees. We go there a lot. Only three and one-half hour drive. Do i still have to e-mail PCGS to get passes?
Thank you

DonWillis · February 27, 2009 3:24AM

No one needs a 'pass'. Security at the door will confirm active PCGS Dealer or Collector Club Member status.

I love those 'free' rooms in Vegas as well. It took me awhile before I realized they were costing me a few thousand a night!!

coinsarefun · February 27, 2009 3:46AM

<< I love those 'free' rooms in Vegas as well. It took me awhile before I realized they were costing me a few thousand a night!!

True...so true

I liked Vegas a few years back, my luck was running so good it seamed liked they were handing out money
at every casino

They were sending the limo to the airport to fetch me..........now, I'm small potatoes

illini420 · February 27, 2009 10:47AM

Will have to check my pile of Vegas offers for that weekend

Should be a nice break right after the April 15 tax deadline!!

I don't mean to laugh at your plight, sir, but that's funny.

pakasmom · February 27, 2009 10:55AM

They don't use coins in the slot machines anymore!?! Dang. I feel older than i did just 5 minutes ago.

WTCG · February 27, 2009 5:41PM

I might be there for this show but I'm not totally sure of that. It is too bad that there are at least two other shows on the west coast happening at the same time.

People should also remember that those comped rooms come at a rather expensive price courtesy of the casino floor. $129 per night is a great deal for a 5-diamond rated hotel such as The Venetian.

bestclser1 · February 27, 2009 11:45PM

I live here and will make it at least for a day.

ElmerFusterpuck · February 28, 2009 3:32AM

stupid question, does being a Collector's Club member mean a paying member or if you are signed up as a member here?

I will be back from the Philppines on April 4th; so i will be there.

RWB · February 28, 2009 3:46AM

I sure hope the dealers won’t have to wear those huge feather headdresses or go topless like at that other coin show in Vegas….

Goldbully · February 28, 2009 3:48AM

Uh Elmer, I believe that's paid member of PCGS, not the C.U. forum!

You have to be a paying member, but its not very expensive, especially at the Platinum level where you get 8 freebie gradings.

DonWillis · February 28, 2009 5:06AM

If you are planning to attend the Vegas show, unless your room is 'comped', you should get in touch with Ana and confirm your room at $129.

Tradedollarnut may be right - that Vegas is empty and there are an abundance of rooms - but we're offering to arrange your reservation as a free service.

I'd rather have a reservation that I can cancel vs. showing up and finding out all the 'cheap' rooms are gone.

Plus, I just heard that Citibank - now that the government is the majority owner - is planning a big 'meeting' in Vegas.......

MrEureka · February 28, 2009 5:35AM

In that case, it's time to buy casino stocks!

oreville · February 28, 2009 5:35AM

I normally sleep for two days after the 15th of April, after doing over 400 tax returns for three months.
