108 in vegas today :(

ohhh I can't wait for the dry heat!

Do we have a total of people that have registered?

last I heard was it is more than last year . . .

Last year I was only there for the last day, and I thought there were a good amount of people, and people said there were more the first day.

I bet there will be more than I am expecting . . .

For this upcoming week the high on Sunday and Monday is 93° F... the high on Tuesday is 95° F

(edit: err...that's where I live...that's really hot for Ohio) :-P

Do we have a total of people that have registered?
This is the last update I saw:

Registration for HostingCon 2006 went over 1000 today and is still climbing.

It was very hot today, but of course all of the Casinos are nice and chilly. Don't forget your sunglasses, YOU WILL NEED THEM. Also, expect to smell a bit of smoke in the plane on the way in with all the wildfires burning.

george told me 1047 registrations yesturday and there are still lots of people registering.

Last year was 600 ish.

Wow thats pretty nice, I didnt expect that many honestly. Glad to see so many coming this year :)

Wednesday is expected to be a rather modest 101 degrees...

Who's bright idea was to have this in Vegas again? LOL

At least all of the casino's understand what it means to have the place properly cooled :) At least the humidity is less then texas...

We are at 1078 Registered and growing !!!! Looking forward to you all getting here. Yes it is hot outside, but the hotels are cool and there is alot to do indoors.

SEE YOU ALL SOON !!!!

As a 17 year resident of Las Vegas I will let you all know that it only takes a decade or two for the average person to acclimate.

See you all there on Monday :)

The only issue with the Warm currently is the air quality, may not want to spend alot of time outside, the fires in California are sending alot of smoke into town which is making the air suck.. else its beautifull here.. Mouse

I've just arrived in Vegas, my god, how hot is it!!! Enjoying the aircon at The Mirage.

Thanks for the heads up, i'll be joining you guys in 5 hours! lol

I leave houston at 7AM CST and will be in vegas at 8.25 local, I plan to goto sleep right when i get thier and surface late tomorrow afternoon!

Hopefully you can check into your room that early . . . I would call the hotel from the airport.

I got in Vegas Friday... it sure is hot.. but it's not too bad once you get into the casinos or basically anywhere inside hehe.

See you all sometime.

I'm staying at Fairfrield's resort. :)

Does nobody else sleep on the plane? Sounds like Sunday afternoon will be pretty quiet

I've been out for some food and a walk, this desert heat beat me and now I've retreated back to the mirage to take on water :) Casino downstairs looks very tempting :)

PS. Poor old Matt is stuck at Melbourne airport with a 4 hour delay :(

I never sleep on planes, I've done 5500 miles today and oddly I dont feel at all tired.

And I thought my 4 hour flight was rough..

Simon, did you get my PM? beers await.. lol Mouse

If you're staying at the Mirage, be sure and hop on the Tram to the TI and try their Buffet if that's your kind of thing.

Mirage == $22+ per person for late lunch/dinner.
TI == $15 per person for lunch.

I went today and it was one of the nicest Buffets I've ever been at...

I just went out on the strip and took a walk, I thought it felt pretty nice here tonight.

I didnt actually care for either buffet, was at TI all last week and now the Mirage..
The All American at the RIO is excellent, the Steakhouse in TI is however rocks.. Mouse

Sorry, missed your PM but thanks for the call from George. I think the time zone difference caught up with me so hit the sack by about 9 and now I am awake and it's 4.30 AM here :( Will definetely be up for beers today though so let me know where! haha :)

See you later!

Just got back to sleep and now just got woken up by the damn hotel alarm system! I dont think I am meant to sleep today.

Haha, that alarm ticked me off... I was barely asleep for 2 hours when it woke me up. Atleast we didn't have to evacuate the building. *phew*

Lol, you guys are lucky. The hotel somehow managed to screw up my check in date (supposed to be Saturday, instead they had it as Sunday). I was up at 6am EST in Toronto, had a day there... got into Vegas 11pm local time and was partying until 6am. I did manage then to persude the hotel to let me check in early, lol.

mdrussel, you were on my flight from Toronto! lol

I drove up through Big Bear and saw the huge plumes of smoke. I had the recirculator on in the truck... definitely dont want to breathe that stuff in.

Reminded me of when I had to evacuate from my house in San Diego (east county) during the huge Cedar fire that burned down nearly 3000 houses nearby.

so 30 hours later and 3 flights later and about 8000 miles later... im in LA.

Trying to get on the 4:45 to vegas so should be with you guys by 6 or 7pm and ready for a big Sunday night ;) :)

Damn Matt, I could have walked from Houston faster..lol
Don't forget to check the helpdesk...lol
