Why can't she come there a couple of days after Labor Day?
I stayed at the Silver Legacy in +2012 after the event. Burner friendly, and we ran into a bunch of burners there, including some of our own Midwesterners that had been involved in the CORE project.
After two nights, I got a call in the a.m. from Alabama from somebody watching the boards for me, turns out the Midwest Burners' CORE project team had had an injury accident in Coalville, Utah. They needed help. I hopped in the truck and sped across Nevada, then across the salt flats (setting a world land speed record for a beat-up 2001 Toyota Tundra on asphalt as I sped across the flats) and over the mountains to Evanston, Wyoming, where they took two of them to the hospital and treated them. We were able to transport them and all of their equipment back to Kansas City over the next three days. Their truck, a 2011 Nissan Titan, was totaled.
