It's been almost two decades, and there is ample evidence to suggest that's an excuse to celebrate! So from May 2 through 6, we will be hanging out on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, partying it up.

At this time it's just a meet-and-greet and I don't really plan to set up any official events per se, but I would expect for some gatherings to end up getting planned over the coming months, which I will add to the events page if appropriate. Hotels and travel are up to you, but we will add info and tips to the event page as time goes on. If you are from Vegas and have ideas, we'd love to hear them.

Let's use this thread to see how fun we can make this thing.

Just wanted to quote this here, from Soundguy:

I'm really hoping we're going to this!
I've never been to the USA!

If anyone wants to sponsor me to come over feel free lol i wish i could attend hopefully one day i will maybe in another 10 years

Wait, whaaaat? Regemeister gets comped!

do these strip joints do amateur nights? i need to make some money to pay for this trip while im there !

im so down, though. ive never even been out west and plus, id get to meet soundguy. hes gonna HATE me and ariel when we get there....i take that back...hes probably gonna cry when we have to leave. he loves our dumb asses!! i really hope everyone is gonna get to make it!!
ive already started a savings account for christmas (my squirrel fund) i guess im gonna start a 2nd squirrel fund!

Do you mind? I'm eating lunch. Great...now I'll never get those images out of my head.

I just had a very bizarre image of you pieing a squirrel. MAKE IT STOP!

So if I go, get a room, and offer Jayce, Ariel, and Mudbunny to bunk with me, I can use the excuse to my wife that 'sorry hon, there just isn't run for you to go on the trip' right? Right? That should go over fine, sounds like a good plan.

Something UMD related in my city? Well geez guys, twist my arm to make me show up!

Contact them, and they can let you know about any amateur nights, and any rules or forms you need to fill out.

FYI the biggest Fetish Producer convention in the USA is called FETISHCON, which is being held in St Peterburg in Florida next month. This is where Clips4sale are going.

But I hear the exhibit booth space is very expensive (100 grand +) so unless you own a clip4sale store and can persuade them to allocate some their booth space for your models it may be beyond our budgets.

Obviously, I would think you could also book some private sessions with wammers.

If she pies me then she will have pied a squirrel as it's my nickname!

Now there's an act I would love to see. If that happens I Deff got to start saving!!!

Thanks Soundguy, I just wanted to add that off-strip resorts and casinos also offer free parking, and almost all of them have free shuttle service to and from the strip.

The Palms, Gold Coast, South Point, etc.

I love in Vegas and have for about 20 years! Y'all finally coming to our side of the word huh?! I for one cant wait to meet Jayce and Ariel!!! On a side note, Wynn and Encore now charge for parking as well as Planet Hollywood. But those aren't cheap anyway so oh well.

I'm pretty sure we'll do everything we can to be there!

It can go down as business expenses right?

I'm sure Jimmy Carr can help

I'm seriously thinking about this and it'll just be my holiday for next year Red or Black folks!

I'll be there. Vegas is a super cheap 45 minute flight from Phoenix or a 4 1/2 hour long drive depending on how many models I decide to bring along lol

Make sure you check out the pool hours at whatever place you are staying. I was at the Venetian once, they closed the pools at 6pm. They want you losing money in the casino, not hanging out by the pool.

Ok, Saturation Hall is coming to Vegas! Well, at least I'm planning to go and will be bringing Friday with me, this will he her first, and my second, visit to the US. Just looking at flight and accommodation options, was planning to book separately but taking a quick look at package deals am being offered about 700 quid per person (inc flights) for ten nights at the Luxor, which seems pretty good, or less than that for the D which is actually on Freemont St (looks like the Luxor is at the far end of the Strip).

Before I book though, wondering if anyone local has any recommendations on places to stay with either decent (and well lit) bathrooms, or even relatively private pools, with a view to shooting a scene or two while we're there? Am also tempted to try and incorporate either a drive or flight to California and stay for a night or two and shoot some scenes in the Pacific, does that sound practical to people with local knowledge? My previous trip to the States was to the Midwest more than a decade ago, so I'm expecting NV and CA to be rather different to what I remember from WI.

I've driven extensively in Europe, so used to driving on the other side of the road, anywhere good with potential for either wetlook or mud shoots on the route from Vegas to LA? I gather there's an old road with scenic attractions, as well as the freeway. Am assuming I can hire a car or a pick-up truck.

Finally, does Vegas have much in the way of charity (thrift) shops? Given restricted baggage allowances and the cost of flying outfits trans-Atlantic, thinking might be cheaper to just buy basic stuff like jeans or overalls on arrival, and just bring the more specialist outfits with us.

EEEE! DM1 is coming. I need to redouble my efforts to get better and save all my pennies! This will seriously be the most ambitious thing I've done since going to Seattle for my brother's wedding! ::shakes angry fist at medicine shelf:: WORK DAMN YOU!

FFS. I think I might actually be going to the UK during that period. Typical.

Something else the tourists in the crowd might find handy is the Las Vegas Monorail. It runs behind a good piece of the East side strip with entrances at a few of the casinos, and covers a lot of distance. I think it only goes as far north as the Stratosphere, but still pretty handy if you're sans-car.

I don't know UK tax laws on business expenses, but in the USA in order to justify a business expense you need to have produced something "demonstrable" that you can show the tax authorities is for sale on your website -- so the best thing is to plan on doing some wam shoots while you are in Vegas and stick those clips on your website during 2018 which is a provable business product you have for sale in 2018.

So treat Vegas the same way you treat your trips to Portugal and The Canary Islands....as a business expense with the intention of creating media for your website.

YAY Monorail!

Keep in mind that anything downtown will be a bus or taxi ride of a few miles to get to the strip. Downtown to Mandalay Bay/Luxor area is about 6 miles (10 km) You can walk it, but LV is over 100 degrees F for 6 months of the year. FYI, the Monorail doesn't go downtown. It stops a couple miles short. Lots of corruption-related theories about why, most having to do with the taxi authority


Can't help you with room recommendations, as I have a condo and have only stayed in strip hotels 3 times. I do have a fellow shooter a few miles west of downtown who has a private pool. (half the houses in Vegas have a pool, so no big deal really) I'm sure I can arrange something with her. You can see it in some of the clips at http://vegaswetlook.com


There's a several-hundred-mile-wide strip of scrub desert in the western US that runs more than a thousand miles from Canada to Mexico. All of Nevada and a lot of southern California is in that band of emptiness. It's about 400 miles (maybe 5 hours) drive from LV to the LA area. It's all hot empty desert. Nothing particularly scenic along the way. LV is 30 minutes from Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and the mighty Colorado River though, (in the direction of Arizona, not on the way to LA) Probably your best bet locally for "natural" settings with water. LA has the ocean of course, but there are about 10 million people in L.A county, so I don't imagine it's going to be very easy to find any semblance of beach privacy anywhere near the city. It's all public beach though, so no worries about trespassing.

There's a shuttle bus from the airport to the car rental complex south of the strip. It's also a quick, taxi, Uber, or Lyft ride from anywhere on the strip and most casinos have at least one rental brand at a desk inside, with the cars stored in their own parking structures. Remember that if you rent a car the whole time, most hotels now charge for parking. You might want to consider just taking a a cheap 1-hour flight to LA and renting the car there.


There are a couple of Goodwill stores, plus dozens of unaffiliated and church-run places. There are also a lot of deep discount chains like Ross (Dress for Less ), Walmart, etc

haha I work Security at Venetian. in the summer, the pools close at 8. Not many pool here are open 24/7

To my knowledge, at least in regards to the casinos I've worked at, none of the pools are 24/7. They don't want to pay lifeguards to hang out all night. Most close between 6pm-8pm.
