After The Holidays Party

[PaViper]

An Evening at the Races​

​

We would like to invite all Viper Club members to join us for an evening at Hollywood Casino/Penn National Race Track in Grantville, PA on Saturday, February 12th, 2011 for our ‘After the Holidays’ 2011 Kickoff party.

This Year we will be having dinner and our 1st meeting of 2011 at the Hollywood Casino. The buffet dinner and meeting will be in our own suite overlooking the race track. We have the suite starting at 6 PM.
Cost per person is $35 for VCA members and $45 for non members (spouses are members). Please make checks payable to
VCA - PA/WV Region.

For those of you that want to try your luck, there will be wagering stations just outside of our suite.
Before or after our gathering, in addition to slot machines the casino now offers table games.

It is a beautiful facility and there’s a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains that we know you all will enjoy.

A block of rooms have been reserved at the Comfort Suites on 450 Station Road, Grantville, less than a mile from the Casino. We have booked them for Friday, the 11th and Saturday, the 12th. You may stay both nights or Friday or Saturday only with checkout scheduled for Sunday the 21st. Everyone that will be staying at the hotel is required to call the Comfort Suite and make their own reservation. Please tell them that you are booking under the Viper Club of America to get special pricing. The rooms for the Club are $65 per night. As mentioned before, rooms have been set aside for Friday and Saturday but you do not have to reserve both nights. Any remaining rooms not booked after January 24th will be released and there is no guarantee of vacancy after that date. The phone number to reserve your room is 717-469-8181. Please make your reservations as soon as possible.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions by email or phone 717-213-0399


This was originaly scheduled for the 19th on our event plan, but due to a scheduling conflict with the Casino the date needed to be changed

This Year we will be having dinner and our 1st meeting of 2011 at the Hollywood Casino. The buffet dinner and meeting will be in our own suite overlooking the race track. We have the suite starting at 6 PM.
Cost per person is $35 for VCA members and $45 for non members (spouses are members).

Can you give us an idea of what is on the "buffet" for $35 per person? Or, is part of this fee for room rental and/or gifts.

Here is the buffet menu, the cost per person is for the dinner, the club is covering the cost of the room and service charge. We will have some very nice door prizes some of which were supplied by Parts Rack and Viper Parts of America to whom we are extremely grateful. The cost for dinner is not out of line for what we are getting especially when you consider it is in our own private suite overlooking the race track, we looked at two other locations for dinner and both were in the $30 to $32 dollar price range and people would have had to drive to our meeting location, look at the bright side, the hotel is only a "Club negotiated" $65 a night. Hopefully that answers your question

Regional American Buffet​

Assorted Domestic Cheese with Berries and Mustard

Yep, that answers our question...just wondering what we were getting for the price you quoted. I'm sure we aren't the only ones that were wondering what the menu was either. Room rate is great, nice that you are hosting this in the city and therefore able to negotiate a "club" rate. Due to our ever growing community of gas well drillers, etc. up here in rural PA, (Williamsport and our surrounding area included), the hotel rates are NOT negotiatable...no way, no how!

We are starting to get responses back, let me know if you are planning on coming, I will start posting a head count early next week

We're in. I'm still trying to figure out how early we'll be able to get there on Saturday.

Still room available for the party, the hotel was gracious enough to extend the room block until Feb 4th, if you are interested, please make your reservations asap, the hotel next to the Comfort Suites is sold out. Even if you don't need a room, please let me know if you plan to attend the party so I can give a more accurate head count to the Casino
