I do know that Las Vegas is hurting. I attend conventions there and used to have to book rooms a year in advance. I will be going in March and there are still plenty of rooms available. The Aussie people had their National there a couple of years ago.Michael Gaughn the owner of the South Pointe is a very animal friendly man. They had all the herding events on site.I got a packet from the South Pointe convention people and sent it on to Joan Fox and took Bill Burgraff on a tour of the site when the parent club had their meeting here in Vegas. I was told the venue was not suitable. Joan found that Las Vegas was planning a fancy dog facility that would accommodate our National but i don't think the city budget allowed them to finish the project.. If i remember correctly, joan thought that there might be a place in Laughlin, Nv that might be doable. Laughlin is a small gambling town with 4 or 5 casino and convention centers located about 50 miles from Las Vegas and is right on the Colorado River Bud ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
