Question for Sean,
I am very interested in coming out in April. I am from South Florida and haven't been to Vegas since my Air Force days back in 1983. I am a complete novice and cannot grasp Xlights at all. I am a visual learner and need a classroom environment to help me. I love hands on. My question is where is everybody staying at? At the Palace Station? My plans would be to come in the day before and leave the day after the classes. Thanks again.

reviews on the palace station were not too hot... I got reservations at treasure island instead. you can get discounted accommodations by first joining MyTI -- at the bottom of the http://www.treasureisland.com/ page.
-
Thanks Sean and Steve. I am not a gambler, I just want something close and get to and from the airport. I'll check out the Treasure Island. Price for Palace Station looks good and they have a shuttle to and from the airport. I'm not picky. Just need a place to lay my head and get some sleep.

FYI The best way for room rates at Palace Station is to phone them and talk to reservations. Comparing what is listed on TI website you may be better off at Palace Station. TI has a mandatory 35 per room fee per day in addition to the room rate where Palace Station is only 16. The reason hotels charge this is to cover shuttle service, wi fi, etc. There is not a way around it. I got a very good rate at Palace Station for Fri - Sun nights by calling.

Check out southwestvacations.com. It's always cheaper to book as a whole in a package. It's gonna cost me 400 for airfare and hotel. Can't beat that. And that's staying at palace station

My Airfare is going to be free. My neighbor has tons of Spirit Airline points and he is never going to use them and he offered them to me. My other friend can get me into the Bellagio for free but I would like to stay as close as possible to Palace Station. I will give the Palace Station a call and see if it's cheaper. Thanks

Make sure you check-in to Spirit and claim a seat as soon as you are able (like 2 or 3 days in advance). They tried to bump my wife and me off our honeymoon flight because they overbook every flight.

Eric, Thanks for the tip on Southwestvacations.com I'm not leaving Vegas until Monday morning and it's costing me about 450 and that includes 3 days of weekend lodging. And to think I was going to drive. Just too good of a deal. Looking forward to seeing everybody there. --Greg in Denver--

Yeah I'm staying in Palace Station also. The nice rooms are inside the hotel and then there's the 2 story building beside the hotel they call the courtyard rooms so that's what I was joking about.
-
Oh yah. I know about courtyard rooms lol. When I lived there. My ac broke in the rental in July lol. They put me in the courtyard rooms lol. Better off at motel 6. But looks as if the rooms southwest offers are in the station itself. Also if yall get a players card there there is like 6 stations casinos throughout vegas. One of them has 2.99 burger and fries and they all have good deals with a card

It's about a 6.5 hour drive for me. Even if it was the same price to fly I'm stuck driving because I needed to be able to bring P10 panels.

Well it will only cost $1,199 to fly out and stay at The Venetian for me and the Mrs. OR, I can go alone, stay at the Palace and buy the pixel nodes I need. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!! LOL

Or you can bring the Mrs. like I do and she can learn to sequence and you can focus more on prop building and other things knowing you are just the back up sequencer. :) That's a win in my book (but totally understand the more money for pixels).

That would be interesting. But with my 2 and 4 year old daughters it gets complicated. Oh, and my 12 year old son, 5 year old 125lb Newfoundland, Sadie. If I were to share the sequencing it would be with my daughters. They have mastered Mom's cell phone so xLights would be a breeze to them. LOL
-
Ok the wife will not come with me, so big trouble for Vegas since she booked the flight and hotel..
Yippee as 2015 was my first year for xlights I want to get the most out of it this year...

Well, I just purchase the Class. I guess I'll be there in person. I'm still on the fence as to how I will get there. I may drive and bring the family.

I just rented a car for Vegas. Staying at the palace station. If anybody needs a ride, let me know. I'd be happy to help. --Greg--

Ron, Not sure what your expecting. I am offering local ride(s) in Vegas. if you are flying in to the airport (as I am) and don't have a ride to your hotel or to the convention, then I'm happy to help. --Greg--

Greg, I was just messing with you. I appreciate the local offer. I am still deciding how I will be traveling to Las Vegas. I may have business there that week so waiting for confirmation. I look forward to meeting you at the event.

Tom, I don't need a ride so to speak of, but since your coming in from Orange county do you mind swinging by Anaheim particularly Disney and grabbing me one of those Turkey legs to help a Canadian Out..
I'm just kidding by the way but the temptation was just too great..lol I really hate those things

Sean, wondering if you can help out, I am trying to update nutcracker to the current version, the current version I have is 10 from March 9/2016. Every time I trying to install on of the newer versions. The install either will not start and hangs up before it even prompts me that changes will be made to my computer of the install starts after I acknowledge the changes but stops during install stating a component cant be installed do you wish to about, try again or skip.

copy the xml files from your show directory , just to be safe.
uninstall current version , download 2016.19 and install fresh
-
Ok, just a update, I backed it up, deleted version 10 then tried version 19 it installed but it would not launch the application. So I after waiting 10 minutes, I rebooted and just tried to launch the application and it did not want to open. So then I did a complete uninstalled and tried version 18. THe same thing happened the install worked but after clicking the finish button the app failed to launch after 10 minutes of waiting...Unistalled 18 went and installed 17 and it installed and opened no problem...So this is where I sit at version 17....

I am not able to attend the webinar but wanted to purchase the videos when they are finished but i do not see that option in the store.
-
They will not be available for several weeks. Will not be added to the store until release date or close to it. To get them earlier via download I think you can just pay for the webinar and you will get a link to the raw videos much sooner.

Where will the test webinar meeting number be posted.
Tom

Has anyone got a Web # yet?

Not yet but would not be surprised if Sean is delayed in setting this up.

Ditto on this Sean.

Thanks,
Paul

Sean, I was working during your seminar. Was it recorded and can I purchase access? Would still love to learn and heard it was really useful. I can do most of what I need and know just enough to be dangerous, and also understand that some tutorials by the experts will improve my workflow dramatically at this point.
I don't care if it is polished and edited, even raw recordings would be welcome and I'll happily pay for the education.
Regards,
Rob

Any update on videos from the seminar?

Ditto!
