Hotel Accomodations:
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Four Points by Sheraton Las Vegas
East Flamingo at a flat rate of $99/night for Friday and Saturday nights.. A limited number of rooms have been set aside, so early
reservations are recommended. See below for details. The hotel will hold the rate until March 29, 2017. Reservations must be made by calling the hotel direct at
(702) 473-6400, be sure to mention the Oughtred Society $99 rate or ATOMIC MEETING 2017. This hotel is located 1.3 miles from the Las Vegas Strip
at 4055 Palos Verdes Street, Las Vegas 89119 and is located across from the Atomic Testing Museum, within easy walking distance. This hotel does have shuttle
service to the airport. There is city bus service on Flamingo Road, so those without a car could easily get to the Las Vegas Strip without walking far.
McCarran Airport is located a very short taxi ride away, so again a car is not necessary. (It should be noted that the mega-sized hotels may appear to be
close together - but they can be a long walk apart!).
An optional welcome dinner (costing $30/person) will be held Friday evening at the hotel in a private room with a fine selection of food supplied by Buca di Beppo
Italian Restaurant. In addition, after the meeting on Saturday an optional "wrap-up" dinner (costing $30/person) will be held at the hotel in a private room.
These dinners have been popular at past meetings with lots of interaction and discussions! Please reserve for each dinner by March 29, 2017 so that we can get the food ordered and
the space reserved.
This meeting is open to Oughtred Society members and non-members. You do not need to be a member of The Oughtred Society to attend, but participation in the
auction does require membership. Registration for the meeting is only $45 and an Oughtred Society membership is only $35!
The meeting will feature displays of slide rule collections, an auction, buying, selling and swapping, three live presentations and the opportunity to meet and
talk with fellow slide rule enthusiasts, many of whom are experts in their areas of interest. Additional items from the Thomas Wyman collection will also be
offered at the auction.
All attendees are encouraged, but not required, to bring slide rules and/or calculators to display and to sell or trade.
