Re: Who is definitely In for Vegas? let me know what airline you are booking with, at this moment I am 60% coming. I might be going on my own and accomodation is looking expensive.
I requested time off Aug 27-Sept 3 tonight I should know next week if it was approved and then I can move forward with my planning. Hopefully no one else has requested that time off yet.

Rehab Pool Party at the Hard Rock every sunday!! BIGGEST party of the year is Memorial Day weekend, when WE are going!! Rehab Details On Memorial Day 2006, thousands of people lined up for the highly-touted Sunday morning pool party. Close to 2,500 never even made it in. While Hard Rock Hotel guests and those renting cabanas are guaranteed entry, it also works to your advantage to be: 1. A supermodel. 2. A super-celebrity. 3. A superhero. No, seriously. A superhero. "Slowly through the years there have been more and more people showing up as characters," said Chad Pallas, director of special events at the Hard Rock and the creative inspiration behind Rehab. In addition to superheroes, Pallas and the event's director of promotions, Jack Lafleur, have seen guests at the city's biggest poolside bash dressed in all sorts of zany costumes: a giant banana, a bunny rabbit, a Hooter's girl and much more. "I don't know what motivates these people," Pallas said, "but we've always enjoyed them, and they're kind of the life of the party." But at the event that brings nightlife to day life -- where a group of perfect 10s in barely-there bikinis happily mingle with a man in a gorilla costume; where a 500-pound man makes a splash, literally and figuratively, by doing cannonballs in the pool; where guys dressed in body suits and neon Oakleys paddle around on body boards -- weird isn't necessarily a bad thing. "We try to think of things that are irreverent," Lafleur explained, describing some of Rehab's tongue-in-cheek special events, including "Stripper Dodge Ball" and "The Rehab Rodeo." "It's got to have an element of both sexy and humorous - that's really what Rehab is," Lafleur said. When Rehab first premiered in 2004, the billboards perplexed onlookers who thought they were advertisements for a new treatment center at the Hard Rock. "Sure it is a treatment center in some ways, but not how people envisioned it," laughed Pallas. The turnout at the Hard Rock pool on Sundays pre-Rehab was disappointing and Pallas wanted to find a way to improve it for hotel guests. "A lot of guys would make a special trip for the weekend and they were staying out here and seeing that the pool wasn't living up to the expectations of Friday and Saturday," he explained. "We wanted to give them that extra day of these ridiculously hot women running around." Originally he and Lafleur envisioned Rehab as a rehabilitation for the indulgences of Sin City. They thought people were going to come and relax. "We underestimated a lot of our people's ability to party," Pallas said. "It's unbelievable the constitutions of some of these people and how long they can go on. Our nightclub has even picked up on Sunday following Rehab." Rehab has become such a buzzed-about event that it has not only brought more business to the hotel's nightclub, Body English, but it has also increased the Hard Rock's occupancy -- and room rates -- on Sunday nights, said Lafleur. The event attracts attention from fans all over the world, including A-List celebrities, porn stars and rock stars. It is so popular, in fact, that last year Lafleur and Pallas created a second, more down tempo event, called Relax, which takes place at the pool on Mondays. While Rehab has grown, both Pallas and Lafleur said they do their best to maintain a comfortable atmosphere. They try to keep the male-female ratio as even as possible and they attempt to only admit people who they believe are there to have a good time. "At Rehab, and pool parties in general, you are so vulnerable," Lafleur said, "You don't have the protection of nightclub lighting. You are exposed out there. You can't hide behind your clothes." He added that he believes this vulnerability is part of the reason for Rehab's success. "That guise that people typically put up when they're out at night seems to go away pretty significantly," he explained. "You have to let your hair down and you have to relax your attitude and know that you're going there for a good time. It's very different from a nightclub feel, but we still try to maintain that energy."
