Thursday · August 27

EVERYBODY GETS HERE

Arrival night. Most of the Thursday group lands around 7:30–8:00 PM.

  • Get to Luxor
  • Check in, drop bags
  • Find food, grab a drink
  • Hang out

Thursday is intentionally easy. Get here, get settled, find us, and start the weekend.

Friday · August 28

Pool. Pink Hummer. Fremont. Bad decisions within reason.

9:00 AM · Luxor Pool

VIP North Cabana + Pillar Day Bed

The cabana and day bed are covered. Come hang out. The day bed sits right in front of the cabana and fits about four, so there’s room to rotate between sun and shade.

Pool food and drinks are on you, so bring a card and sunscreen.

Mid-morning

Jake + Liz land

Southwest 769 touches down at 9:15 AM. Figure Luxor by 10:15–10:45.

If the room’s not ready: bags to bell services, change if you need to, straight to the pool.

Friday night

6:30 PM — Start gathering at Luxor.

6:45 PM — Be downstairs. Thirteen people, one limo, zero waiting.

7:00 PMPINK HUMMER.

7 PM. Pink Hummer. Be downstairs. We are leaving without you.

Strip cruise with music, then it drops us at Fremont around 8:00 PM. Limo questions: Vegas Party Limo, 702-616-6000.

Hummer roulette

The limo company’s Hummer fleet: black, green, white, and pink stretch Hummers

Word from the limo company: Friday’s Hummer will be one of these — black, green, or white — assigned the day of. First bet of the weekend: call the color.

We are calling it the Pink Hummer no matter what shows up.

Friday night Kellie assignment

MAKE KELLIE WEAR SOMETHING STUPID

Bring one ridiculous thing for Kellie to wear Friday night. Do not coordinate. We want chaos.

Stupid hat, ridiculous sunglasses, boa, wig, giant jewelry, a sash, whatever. By the time the Pink Hummer shows up she should be a walking Vegas disaster.

The $15 Kellie gift

ONE RIDICULOUS GIFT. $15 MAX.

Cheap, weird, funny, inappropriate within reason, or completely useless is encouraged.

Spend no more than $15. Creativity beats money.

The $50 Vegas Challenge

THE RULES

Mike gives you $50. Go gamble it.

If you win, you and Kellie split the winnings 50/50.

If Vegas takes it all, you owe nobody anything.

If somebody turns their $50 into something stupidly large, Mike reserves the right to claim emotional ownership of the victory.

8:00 PM · Fremont

Casinos, live music, drinks, wandering, food, general Fremont chaos. Atomic Liquors and Evel Pie are on the maybe list. No plan on purpose.

Getting back: everyone grabs their own Uber or Lyft to Luxor. No group departure, no judgment on your exit time.

Saturday · August 29

9:00 AM · Luxor Pool

VIP North Cabana + Pillar Day Bed

Second pool day. Because one was clearly not enough. Same deal: cabana and day bed are covered, come hang out.

Saturday afternoon

Nothing scheduled between pool and dinner. Shower, nap, recover, gamble, wander, get ready.

Go be an adult for a few hours. We reconvene tonight.

7:00 PM · Kellie’s 50th Birthday Dinner

DINNER IS ON MIKE.

Come hungry.

Hard Rock Cafe · Las Vegas Strip
Saturday, August 29 · 7:00 PM · Party of 13

Please be ready early enough that thirteen people are not walking into a 7 PM reservation at 7:12.

Sunday · August 30

KELLIE’S ACTUAL 50TH BIRTHDAY

Sunday is Kellie’s actual birthday. The morning is intentionally loose — coffee, breakfast, one last Vegas wander, pack, say goodbye.

Luxor checkout: 11:00 AM.
Everybody handles their own ride to the airport.

Fifty years of Kellie. Lucky us.
