    For early-mid Oct, the most number of people is Sun Oct 4 or Thu Oct 8.

    Given the circumstances, some outdoor public place would be best, such as:

    The Spanish Steps near the plaza area by the Absinthe tent/ outdoor bar /Hell's Kitchen at CP:

    The fountain area at CP:

    The viewing area across the port cochere at Bellagio:
    upload_2020-9-23_10-40-52.png

    Maybe Wynn has some area like those where 10 -20 people can stand around and shoot the shit for awhile?

    My trip is gonna be a last-minute call, so I don't want to try to organize anything myself, just throwing an idea out there. If I was, I'd just say Spanish Steps at 4:00pm (sunset is ~ 6:15pm) on Oct 4th, and bring $200 cash just in case a group slot pull breaks out. :D

    Under normal circumstances, just meeting at a bar would be a no-brainer, but I'm not sure what the policies are on group seating at bars, and I'm not thinking it's a great idea to do one indoors anyway. People are going to have different risk tolerances, and I think more would be comfortable doing it outdoors. You could always just grab a yard drink or a 40 or something on the way to an outdoor location.

    I mean, who wouldn't love to see a pic of 15 socially distanced VMBers swigging quarts of Miller on the Spanish Steps?

    The reason I would suggest doing it on the 4th instead of the 3rd is:
    • Everybody on the list who's in town on the 3rd is also staying the night of the 4th unless my interpretation of stay lengths is wrong
    • 3rd is Saturday and we've seen what weekends are like
    • 4th is Sunday, by late afternoon a bunch of people should have cleared out

    Oh I see @EastCoastVegasFan! is actually leaving on the 3rd, not the 4th.

    I think if I was going to do it on the 3rd, I'd shoot for Wynn if there's a good area there.

    CP or Bellagio would still work, but Wynn would probably be way more sedate.

    Lets get a Halloween meetup going! I'll organize. Lets do it early so I'm cogent. Say Cosmo? Happy Hour at the chandelier? I'll likely have been drinking all day at the Golden Tiki by the time I get there.
