I would definitely be interested in a Colorado carpool. Vegas is not that far away. Plus a bunch of engineers in a car?! We'll need to get a party bus for all the calculators 
That January date conflicts with TRB, iirc.

So far no complaints for the Oct date? Not too hot, not too chilly. Homeostasis.

Vail Pass is tough, but unless you're stopped in traffic than it goes by quick even in January. I can make it to Vegas in 10 hours from Summit County.
The October date is kinda close to hunting season.

Is a Colorado Carpool anything like a Cleveland Steamer or an Alabama Hot Pocket?I would definitely be interested in a Colorado carpool. Vegas is not that far away. Plus a bunch of engineers in a car?! We'll need to get a party bus for all the calculators

I'll make nice with the EB folks for a bit, then I'm off to find something outside because I have zero interest in anything Vegasy. Can I lead the EB outdoor excursion, or at least a trip to the Hoover Dam?
Actually I might just use the trip as an excuse to go to Zion and Great Basin. It'll be me, the dog, a rental car, a rubber fist, and nothing but the open road.

Ok fine I'll leave it at home. It was just something to keep me company on I-15.
I love the desert southwest, i'm going back in march.

where did you get that deal? it would make for a nice anniversary getaway tooFor two adults on Allegiant Air, with hotel at the Stratosphere:

^Just a word of warning with that. . .I like Stratosphere but if you're making it an anniversary getaway, don't go for their base model room. Spend the extra few bucks for a mid-level room or higher. The base model rooms are more than a little outdated.
Dinner at the Top of the World can be romantic (and $$$$$$$), though the food is only 'ok' for the price (~$200 for 2 people), you can't beat the view.

if you have a Harrah's players card, you can get rates at Bally's for about $40 a night sunday-thursday just for having the card. i never upgrade rooms because i only sleep and shower in them, plus Bally's is right in the middle of everything and you don't need a car or a cab to get where you need to go. Harrah's even has a free shuttle between several of their properties.

Hoover Dam would be cool.
Speaking of anniversary get-aways, misses CDC is asking for one this month. I wanted to go for a back-packing trip because we got family watching mini CDC and backcountry trips are something we can't do anymore, but she won't hear of it. Ca't do a hot springs trip b/c she doesn;t want my swimmers to die (she must have plans for me?), so I gotta plan a city trip on the front range.
Any suggestions?

The Hoover Dam was cool to see, even if you aren't an engineer. I enjoyed the tour.
I have a Harrah's card and have never gotten an offer from any of their casinos.
I also have an MGM card and get offers for decent rates at Luxor and Excalibur, even though I rarely gamble with MGM.
Ditch her and go to the backcountry. Seriously, what's the point of being in CO if you don't get out?
