Just when I thought it could go no lower, Palace Station lowered our room rates
even further. Anyone who already has a room with our group code will
automatically receive the discount. The Courtyard rooms are only $25/weeknight
and $55/weekend...which I know is tempting, even for the locals.

All the details are on our website:

Out of curiosity, I did a search for "belly dance events" ...and I was delightedly surprised to find the the Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive & Festival website is #5 in the world on Google! How cool is that!!!

Alright folks!! I am soooooooo close to having the 2009 Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive workshops schedule finalized. We have so many amazing instructors--this year is going to blow your mind! I can't wait to share it all with you. I am hoping to have everything live for the public by the 5th of December, but it may be a bit later than that. We are in the middle of shopping cart upgrades (whoo hoo) and so I want to make sure that it is all working properly before I open it up to everyone.

So this is your official "heads up" that as soon as this schedule is live, the Super-Early Bird special will end. Those who have signed up for the Super Early-Bird package will get a special "sneak peak" and will have the first opportunity to choose your classes. So if you are planning on joining us for the 2009 Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive and Festival, do it today and get the best prices of the year!!

Additionally, on Dec. 1st, we also have an installment price increase, which will be valid until Super Early Bird special ends. Take all 4 days of workshops, attend both shows, and receive a special gift bag...all for only 9 payments of $45.33

Just a reminder that the monthly installment plan for the Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive & Festival increases on Saturday, Nov. 1st. The Early-Bird price of $395 (which includes 24 hours of instruction, & tickets to both shows) will still be available, but the monthly payment plan will increase to 10 monthly payments of $40.80.

Additonally, we are in the process of finalizing the list of instructors and topics. As soon as we are done with that process, the full-weekend package price will increase substantially. You will get the best savings by registering early...and the best payments by registering this week.

Bwahahahahaha. Whoo hoo. I can't believe I survived the weekend. It was truly amazing. It's Monday at noon... and I still haven't even made it home yet. I just checked out of Palace Station this morning and am doing all the after-weekend follow-up!

I thought I'd start a thread where you could speak up and share your favorite "Vegas" moments. I know that I always have a moment here or there...where I say, "Wow, only is Vegas, baby!" Speak up here and share your stories...

I have several, but I'll keep it to just a couple for the moment.

1) Only in Vegas does one order custom-made gold lame thongs for making showgirl costumes. HEE HEE!! Seriously, Leyla Amir and I had an absolute riot making the showgirl costumes for Anglea and April. I know that one of you out there will post some pictures...

2) After Sat. night was all over, I was riding down the escalator when our "Elvis" planted a big kiss on me. All my directors were at the bottom of the escalators and let out a whopping cheer. Tee hee!! Kissing Elvis...now that is a Vegas moment!!

I know that Amaryllis has a couple of silly stories...

What's yours?
