VLV 11 Newsletter
Vendors, hotels, merchandise, check in times
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings!
VLV is now just under 2 months away and things are really busy here. This is when we start to remind you of things to make sure everything runs smoothly for you so please take a moment to read these newsletters.
BOOKING RECEIPTS & REF #'s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have booked already for VLV you should have received a booking receipt. This shows your reference number and at the bottom, the list of all of the people and cars in your booking. If you have NOT received this email, please email us ASAP so that we can send you a copy. To email, please click HERE  This is very important as it could save you a lot of time checking in at VLV.
 
CHECK IN TIMES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have taken a lot of steps to eliminate the check in lines at VLV. We will have more computers to check you in, better trained staff and longer opening hours. o­n the Thursday the check in will now open at 9am instead of 1pm. This we feel will make a major improvement to the checking in process.
HOTEL ROOMS 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last time I told you there were still rooms available in The Orleans. Today they o­nly had 150 rooms left. I was able to get that increased to 250 but that is all. So to make sure you get o­ne, when you phone The Orleans remember to mention The Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend to get the room at the special rate. Please CLICK HERE for hotel details.
 
VLV MERCHANDISE 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VR tiki VLV 11 merchandise has some of our best designs ever. This year we have no less than 10 new designs o­n a whole new range of products and well as the regular favorites. Please take time to visit the NEW, LARGER VLV MERCHANDISE BOOTH in The Arizona Room of The Gold Coast. There will also be a VLV merch booth at the car show but it will not have the full range.
 
VLV WRISTBANDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would like to remind you that the price of the VLV wristband goes up o­n March 22nd. But there is a strong chance that VLV will sell out before then. Please don't wait until the last minute in case we do sell out. Also, any availability of buying o­ne o­n the day cannot be guaranteed. The last few years we have had to turn away a lot of people.
