Would they be willing to make a deal with the hotel to have a guest stay for free, in exchange for a couple of tunings? Would the hotel be able to work a deal with an airline? If I the hotel could pay my way, including the air fare and lodging, I would be more than happy to take the time to come to Las Vegas. I would guess there are other PTG members who would do the same Willem </HTML>
