I just struck gold

This link might have been there all along, but I just found a virtual tour for one of the Vista Suites at The Mandalay Bay that will house our cake party. It looks fabulous, and I'm super excited about it. Check this out...

Beware the finicky touring software though! I had a little difficulty opening the virtual tour in Safari, but it popped right up in Firefox for me.

If you want to stay at Mandalay Bay...

We have locked in a group rate for a deluxe room at Mandalay Bay for Saturday and Sunday night.

Saturday Nov 22 - $199.99
Sunday Nov 23 - $109.99
(plus tax)

If you look at the Mandalay Bay website, you might notice that the normal rates are the same as our group rate. Supposedly the rates will go up as the date gets closer and more booked up. Our rate is locked in until Wednesday October 8, 2008. If you would like to book a room, go to this designated website...

https://resweb.passkey.com/go/g11amy - (must be in lower case)

I'm supposed to inform my guests that the first night's deposit is required when booking a reservation with 48 hours notice for cancellations. You must use the website to get the group rate, and you must book through that website before Oct 8.

Giorgio Italian Restaurant

The post-wedding lunch will be held at Giorgio Ristorante. It is located in Mandalay Place, the mall between Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Check out the virtual tour...

The menu has not been set yet, so if you have any suggestions or requests, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Here's what we're thinking...

This is a tentative schedule for the day's activities:

SUNDAY November 23rd, 2008

10:45am - Guests seating

11:00am sharp! - Ceremony begins, ball and chain are applied

11:30am - Ceremony ends, mad dash from chapel to blackjack table, bride and groom photos taken

1:00 pm - Luncheon for all at Giorgio Ristorante E Caffe (maybe) in Mandalay Place

4:00 pm - Cake party in Vista Suite in Mandalay Bay

The chapel has been booked and ceremony times have been carved in stone. The rest of the day is still up in the air. We are sculpting the schedule to allow time for guests to return home Sunday night in case they can't miss work on Monday.

We're Getting Married!

The date for the big day has been set: Sunday, November 23, 2008 in the Silver Chapel at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!

We hope that family and friends will be able to join us for a fun high-rollin' Vegas wedding.

More details coming soon.
