PCGS presents: "The second Members Only Coin Show" in Las Vegas

Goldbully

If you're a PCGS Authorized Dealer or Collectors Club member, you won't want to miss the second Members Only Coin Show.

You are ALL invited to attend, and be a part of this exclusive community in the energized atmosphere of Las Vegas.

For Authorized Dealers, it gives you a chance to display your coins at one of just 25 tables in an intimate setting.

If you choose not to be a table holder, come anyway. You are welcome to buy, sell and trade as you see fit.

For Collectors Club Members, it's offered as an exclusive benefit.

You can have your coins graded onsite, check dealer inventories for potential purchases and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow collectors.

This show will be even better than the first. We'll have some additional announcements soon.

WTCG

Don...we all agree that Las Vegas is a great place to hold the member only shows (and it's personally convenient too) but is there any thought about considering new destinations for future member only shows?

DonWillis

We're all ears.....although Vegas is tough to beat.

Bochiman

I keep hitting conflicts for already booked travel, but would love to go to one of these soon.
Only thing is, if it isn't in Seattle (doubtful ), then it would only be Vegas due to hotels/airfare/location/flight times.

So, I would say Vegas is likely about the best. Plus, it probably makes travel easier on the PCGS/CU folks

What about the Philly area? The first Mint and all.......

ThePennyLady

I think it's a perfect location for this show - we can easily combine fun and business at the same time - I'll be there!

DennisH

During summer just about anywhere is better than Las Vegas in my book. How 'bout somewhere near the beach?

MPLunatic

It looks like pcgs is just looking for excuses to go to vegas! I thought the last show just finished, I really like the idea, its a great city for a show. Who really wants to go to Baltimore for a show? The first chance I get Im gonna make it to one of these. The great part is you could probably bring your whole family and keep them out of your hair while you look at coins all day.

BaronVonBaugh

How about Dallas or Austin?

<< <i>During summer just about anywhere is better than Las Vegas in my book. How 'bout somewhere near the beach? >>



In Las Vegas, it's very easy just to stay in those nice air conditioned casinos and never even go outside!

DennisH

Charmy -- It's the drive back and forth through an oven that I don't want any part of! Doing it in December is one thing, but August is something else entirely.

FilamCoins

<< <i>How about Dallas or Austin? >>



I'd have to agree, since I'm in El Paso, but Texas in summer is just as hot as LV!

coinsarefun

Sounds very

anxiously waiting

for the coolest time

LAS VEGAS IN AUGUST ???????


HI DON - WHAT ARE THE CHANCES FOR A BIG UPGRADE ? I'VE GOT THE BEEF

STEWART

illini420

Would love to make it to the show, but I wouldn't be able to make it until Saturday morning anyways... oh well, maybe next time.

DonWillis

Stewart, we would be happy to review any of your coins at the show. We will have a few give aways and specials to entice you to come! Don

CopperWire

I second the Seattle nomination. Maybe the show needs more of the Las Vegas high roller glitz and gold feel for an exclusive event.

CopperW

morgandollar1878

Maybe some day for me. Until then..............well I'll figure it out sooner or later.

Fly, dude. It's cheaper than gas.

DeepCoin

Given the economy and state of Las Vegas, is there a deal on rooms?

I think from where Dennis lives and how he drives it is quicker to drive.....

Will their be any door prizes Don?

DonWillis

There will be a "door prize" every day to the first 50 entrants.

PCcoins

How about two seperate shows??? East coast show & West coast show?

JupitarCoins

<< <i>There will be a "door prize" every day to the first 50 entrants. >>



Thanks Don I was just kidding.

Boom

Sounds good to me.

Perfect way & place to celebrate the Birthday too.

Yes, you'll find flight and room specials online, just about everywhere.

Try MSN, for starters.

DonWillis

We have a special hotel rate, but you may find a better one by looking around. Ours is for the Palazzo which is pretty nice.

From the OP -

Stay at the Palazzo - A special room rate at the Palazzo of $129 per night is offered to all attendees. Space is limited, so don't wait to make your reservation .... Collectors Club Members: To make your reservations, please call: 877-444-5777 and request show code RCOLU.

robkool

Thanks for the info... I may have to RSVP this one.

ThePennyLady

Got my rsvp in, got my free hotel, and got my $119 rountrip flight already booked - so poker tables - uh, I mean PCGS dealer tables - here I come!

mustanggt

Harrahs has room starting at $40 a night.

What is a "Take-home" submission?

Halfhunter06

When is one coming closer to the east coast?

I was not going to attend but if I can find a flight for a little over 100.00 I am all over it. As far as hotels for everyone else there are numerous CHEAP hotels in vegas starting at about 30.00 per night. The only bummer about vegas in august is its well into the 115 degree range. Just like charmy said earlier though vegas is set up so you dont ever need to go outside

Dallas or Austin would be great!

What does Dallas or Austin have to offer that has more appeal than Las Vegas? What does Dallas or Austin offer to convince people to make a special trip out there?

While we're on the subject, does anybody want to make the argument for Omaha?

I agree

I know many folks like Vegas; personally, I have never been a big Vegas person. Add in a hot summer, and I can think of numerous cities I would rather be in IMHO. Here are a few ideas:

1 - Seattle WA - Cooler that time of year
2 - San Jose CA - Cooler that time of year
3 - Long Beach CA - I know too close to home for a PCGS getaway
4 - Disneyland Hotel Anaheim CA - See above
5 - Monterey CA - The Hyatt could hold 25 Dealer tables and tons of things to do.
6 - Lake Tahoe CA - The Gambler's alternative in a cooler setting.
7 - Napa/Sonoma CA - Way better alcohol and Indian casinos.
8 - Honolulu HI - If it's going to be hot, it might as well be someplace good IMHO!
9 - Anchorage AK - Now that would be COOL!
10 – Denver CO – Cooler and very accessible

That is just on the west coast, not to mention SF or BC.

I willing to make an argument for alot of cities...Omaha is not one of them!

Seattle must be on your list then
Great weather lately and nice to visit

mustanggt

After the Tahoe suggestion I need to mention Reno. Much easier to fly to, some great hotels (the Atlantis comes to mind) and close to Carson City and its mint.

Boy, Don, we've really narrowed it down for you, haven't we! Hey, IMHO just keep in Vegas - the last show was very successful (so why mess with a good thing), it's easy to fly into, great hotels and food (the Venician and Palazzo are absolutely amazing!), it works well, makes a majority of people happy, lots of stuff for kids and family to do, and it's just plain fun!

Perception is relative Charmy!

1 - Just because it was very successful doesn't mean it couldn't achieve greater success?
2 - I didn't and wouldn't take my kids to Vegas or go myself when someone gave me a free all expenses paid trip.

If you want me to narrow it down, I will make it very simple....anywhere but Vegas.

That would include Omaha!

The perception part is very true, but changing the location means sort of starting over and not really knowing whether it will work as well in that new location - when where it's at is already proven to be successful. And the family part is an understandable personal choice. But OMAHA! Hmmmm, not sure that is a "better" location for a PCGS show, no offense intended to Omahaians, just can't imagine it, personally speaking. Perhaps if they decided to have one on the other side of the country, Chicago would be a better choice, IMHO.

oxy8890

Chicago would be fine!

Just make sure the Cubbies are playing and I'll fly in for the show
