Follow eventUMD's 25th Birthday Bash is On!
Las Vegas. Wednesday, May 3 to Sunday, May 7.
We did it at 20 and 21, and now we're doing it again! Like last time, it's just a loose gathering of wammers looking to go on vacation and have a fun time. We'll be gathering each night on Fremont Street in Old Vegas, but otherwise, everyone will have their own vacation plans. Based on what's happened before, there won't be a shortage of sploshing going on in Vegas that week. There's even a live show planned!
Everyone will be responsible for their own travel and lodging. The Golden Nugget is where most of us are staying. Some of us are even renting houses together. This page will be updated throughout the event with any new info.
What's going on?
On the 3rd, 4th, and 6th, we are doing a meet-and-greet at 7pm at the Whiskey Licker Bar on Fremont Street. Their site:

On Friday the 5th (Cinco de Mayo!), we will be meeting on the main Vegas strip at 7pm at Beer Park, an outdoor beer garden that's part of the Paris hotel that overlooks the strip. We all did this before and it was mad chill. Their site:

On Saturday the 6th, UMD is renting a gazebo at the Golden Nugget's Shark Tank pool, and everyone is welcome. Entry to the pool is free for hotel guests and $40 for non-guests. We're not asking anything for the gazebo rental, but we'll probably all run our own individual bar tabs.
Pool Party RSVP Location & Info:
Fremont Street, Las Vegas, Nevada (Old Vegas)
Uber is a great way to get around Vegas, including from the airport. Temperatures in May will probably be 89 degrees (31 celsius) and 66 (19) at night. This is a real desert and the dry climate is
very real. It'll suck the moisture right out of you even when it's cool out. Bring lotion and drink tons of water!!
Please contact MM if you have organized any other meet-ups that you want listed here!
Fremont Street Hotels:
The Golden Nugget
A popular hotel located in the middle of the Fremont Street Experience, this place is full of old school charm. Even though renovated, you feel history just walking through the place. You can't help feeling relaxed and groovy staying here. This is headquarters for the event. The best wing is the Gold Tower. They said sorry, no clothes in the pool :(
The D
A decent and reasonably priced hotel about a block from the Golden Nugget. The pool isn't that great, but the rooms are decent.
Four Queens
The Plaza
About Fremont Street:
There are two Las Vegases. The newer, glossier one is called "the strip" and it's where you'll find mega-hotels like the Bellagio and Paris. But 15 minutes downtown sits the old original Vegas. The one with the neon cowboy. The one from old James Bond movies. The main scene is on Fremont Street. Nowadays it's been blocked off to traffic, and to compete with the gloss of the new Vegas, they've cranked up the fun! There's a giant overhead screen and bars and casinos and music everywhere. It's where you go to really have fun, not spend a lot, and let loose with 3 blocks worth of other people doing the same thing! It's symbolic that UMD's new hosting center happens to be just one block away.
Meeting each other:
This event is being thrown purely for fun. To keep it that way, we'll show maximum respect for each other, just like we do on this site. Some of us are shy and some are outgoing, but nobody is to be made to feel intimidated. Please be mindful of everyone's space and keep your hands to yourself. Please ask before taking anyone's picture or video. Be mindful that some people may prefer to be called by their screen names, so use that first. No wam events are being officially planned by umd, and models are not obligated to perform or book sessions.
