Bad news today:frown2: just looked up my reservation for the Fiesta hotel,:nep: and found out they no longer allow pets ! So if Sassy can't stay there I don't stay. So I just canceled my reservations. Guess We will only go to the dinner Sat. night, hope you all have a fun time in Vegas.

I called the front desk today and talked to three people and they all told me NO PETS ! They changed their policy in Jan. after redoing all their rooms. Also they would not give my deposit back. I will talk to then tomorrow when I come to pick up event registration.

Fiesta Hotel :nep::evil:

That's an unfortunate turn of events.

The initial post on this thread says the hotel is pet friendly. If you registered and paid your deposit based on that, let them know you were bringing a pet and the hotel changed its policy months later, they should have honored their commitment to you. If they won't do that for you, a return of deposit should be a lock.

Sounds like a bit of pounding on desks is in order. Hope it all works out for you.

To everyone that took the time to organize and execute this event you pulled it off with flying colors. It was great to meet and get to know a lot of the fanatics that I've not gotten to meet in the past, I had a great weekend.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!! ?

WOWSERS What a great time! For those that didn't attend...for no good reason.....you missed out on a great rally! Thanks Again Bob, Melinda, David, Ron, and those behind the scenes that don't come to mind right now! I had a blast EMCING the event, hope you did too? Hope we can make it to Denton Texas. It's not about the trucks, it's the people in our wonderful organization!

The Viva Las Vegas 2016 Committee would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to all that participated in this event. Many of you traveled long distances and some not as far, but your willingness to be here is what made this event successful and fun.

What an awesome group of Fanatics we had! On Saturday, after the Hotel Management had a few days to see the Fanatics in action, we were told what a great group of people we had brought to the Hotel. All I could do was to agree with them. :yesnod During the event various Fanatics provided us with all the help we needed, whenever we needed it. No one ever refused to assist. Thank you all for that as well.

Bob and I were asked many times if there will be future Viva Las Vegas events. For us two, the answer is no. Possibly in a few years when we are both retired and can devote the time necessary to provide an event of a caliber we can be proud of, but for now this event was a "one-off" for Bob and I. This is not to say that the rest of the committee or others may indeed present another Viva Las Vegas event. If this comes to be, they will have our sincere best wishes.

Watching all my Fanatic Friends leaving the banquet last Saturday night was like saying goodbye to close family - sad, and yet a wonderful feeling to have such a large extended "family".

See you all "down the road",

Melinda :purple:
