    I don't believe we are too late. Need to know the driving distance everyone wants to stay at too. Tunica (Mississippi's Las Vegas) is only about 35 miles away. So we got Resort Hotels there too.

    This is a list of hotels sponsored by Memphis in May

    Okay, in reviewing the dates for all of Memphis in May we have:

    The Beale Street Music Festival - May 4 - 6

    -and-

    Superbowl of Swine (The World Championship barbecue cooking contest) - May 17 - 19


    I can check things out when I get a general consensus as to which one would be the favorite of AMHD members.

    Hello again:

    Me? I'm into swine (don't tell my rabbi). Q is it. While you were busy, I checked the Peabody Hotel. They have a block of rooms available from Friday, the 18th through Sunday, the 20th. We can get a discount if we book more than 20 rooms. The rooms run from $290 - $375 per night, and if we book enough, they'll go down. They have a fine dining restaurant, so we can have a small reception, a cocktail party, a dinner? Whatever.

    There's a Holiday Inn and other less expensive accommodations right across the street. That's all I know.

    Oh, yes, the Peabody is nice, not just fine dining they have but movie theaters, bowling, all in the complex.

    The rooms are nice, EXPENSIVE and SMALL, but you pay for prime location.

    For those that may want to gamble, as I said Tunica is right down the road.

    I like PIG too. I don't have a Rabbi, so I guess it doesn't matter. LOL

    Hello:

    Been doing a little shopping...

    Branson, MO: July 10 - 13, 3 night's accommodation in a full service hotel, round trip airport transportation, unlimited use of city shuttle, 3 full breakfast buffets, 1 full service banquet (dinner).

    Double occupancy: $350 a night. Gratuities, service charges and taxes included.

    This isn't a BAD deal... So, am I whistling Dixie, or is this going to happen?
