That's right girls & guys, an SSG Community meetup in Las Vegas, and a coin show too!!!! That's what I'm thinkin', and I've got some info here to help make it happen.
The purpose of this post is to get the idea out there and see how many people may (or may not) be interested. I don't usually ask this but if you think this could be a good idea please RESTEEM so everyone in the @ssg-community get's a chance to join in the fun! If I get a bit of interest I am happy to take the lead in coordinating rooms/food/fun etc....Now to the meat of the post.
First, the dates; Friday, December 7th to Sunday, December 9th, 2018. Of course, you could come earlier and stay later but this is the weekend of the coin show so I'm going to focus on those dates.
Below is a screen-shot from the coin show website, and the link to the site is just under the picture.

The coin show is not mandatory of course, but it is a good excuse, or reason, to go to Las Vegas. Hell, it could even be a business trip for you coin dealers out there!
I've got some flight info than some room info. I'm sure a lot of you already use a specific airline for certain reasons and that's fine. I'll just go over what I've found. For U.S. residents Southwest Airlines is usually a good choice to Vegas...
Here is a link to the Southwest Air route map tool pictured above
Alaska Air has a decent amount of flights, even a few from Western Canada!...

And for all my non-U.S. brothers and sisters, I got you, check out AirCanada and their partners!...
Here is a link to get you to the AirCanada search tool.
As I said this is just the beginning of my digging. I am sure you Europeans know best what airlines to take to the states. If anyone needs help researching airlines or fares just ask, I'll do what I can to find the info you need. It would be awesome to get you guys over here for a long weekend!
As for accommodations, and this is where we may be able to save a little money, I have calls in to three different hotels regarding group rates. I have not heard back yet but what I do know is to get a group rate on rooms we would need to book 10 rooms minimum. This may be possible, I just don't know how many of you guys are interested yet. The way it would work if we go this direction is I would hold a bunch of rooms and you would call and book/pay on you own, just mention the group name to get the discount rate. I'll update this info as I receive it.
The other option is to book a whole package on one of the discount sites like expedia or travelocity (probably a bunch more sites like these too).
I put in my info just to see what I would get and I got a pretty sweet deal...
Again, this is just an example. It is early enough in the game to get a good deal, but summer is going to fly by and getting this together sooner rather than later seems like the best idea.
So what do you think?
A #SteemSilverGold family weekend, Las Vegas style.
I'm about 95% sure that I am going to this show, as I have never been to a coin show and I used to live in Vegas (and miss it). So why not make it a big get together?
Please let me know what you think so I can gage if this could be real. Also please resteem so the whole community has a chance to get in on this.
Great post!

Ok @tbnfl4sun. Thanks for checking in. I realize it's early, but I want to give people some time to sort it out. I mean, I have heard that there are people who actually plan ahead for stuff. Must be nice! :)

I would love to go, but December is bad timing for me. It’s usually crunch time then.
Shit. What about early November? That was my first thought for the time of year, then I saw the coin show and thought that would be a good "reason" to go, for those who need one.
I would be there at that time and would love to meet up.
:D
Cool, I'll see you there! :)
I'm gonna keep posting about it all summer until people just say yes to shut me up! :0
LOL
