View Full Version : 500 crazy scion owners partying in the desert!!!
INFINI 05-16-2008, 06:17 AM lol, Thanks Tito:)
I actually got all that :) but the exact street number is missing. If you Maquest it ou get the cross street at Yucca? and Veterans but then thats it.... There is no street number so unless you see some one else looking for the same address or there is an obvious sign saying " Bootleg Canyon Detention Basin " you will be driving around looking for it.
HoldFastHope 05-16-2008, 07:35 AM Hey James, I put the cross streets Yucca and veterans memorial into my GPS and it found it. I'm pretty sure once you get there, you'll KNOW you're there. There will probably signs and all directing the way. I'm leaving right after my final exam today which is at 930am. What a great way to start off the summer! See you all there and hope to meet some of you as well!

lol your awesome, and Tito too :) I am so reliant on my GPS I get cranky when I feel I might not be able to use it hehe.
PS: finishing (well trying) my Final right now :) publishing my first hard cover photo book....
HoldFastHope 05-16-2008, 08:24 AM Haha, ya, whenever i'm trying to input an address and my GPS doesnt find it, I go apesh!t. Oh what would we do without our little devices...
Good to hear about your photo book. Good luck with it! It's always rewarding being finished with something you're proud of.
On my end, i'm still finishing my 10-13 page paper and still got about 3 pages more to go aaaaaand I still have to study for my test which is at 930am. All of this and I have yet to take a shower or pack! If you see a guy with groggy eyes and stumbling around near the drop off, that'll be me. Gotta love procrastination.
ChelsDS 05-16-2008, 02:58 PM Mkay i'm leaving! Cya guys there! :)
nyte_ryder 05-16-2008, 05:28 PM Can't wait to party with some peeps!!! Hit me up if you wanna party because I got massive hook ups on transportation and clubs. Let me know!!!!!
INFINI 05-17-2008, 01:57 AM YO!!!!! Hotel WIFI :) finally here in my room! I forgot to bring my card reader or I would post photos of my lake view.

Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 02:32 AM Ha. I got wireless. I love my laptop.
Where's the casino in this hotel...James???
Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 02:33 AM I miss my car...
INFINI 05-17-2008, 03:26 AM lol scion is doing all you drunkards a favor by taking your cars!! :) hehe wow people already waisted..... it's not even 8:30 yet!!
ChelsDS 05-17-2008, 05:19 PM I miss my car...
Haha actually me too! :(
Anyone else get pulled off to the side when you were coming in? I was.. cool story about it too :D
Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 06:13 PM Ah Yah...
ihavenosn 05-17-2008, 06:21 PM Just about the saddest moment yesterday was sitting in the bus watching my car drive by and then gone... :(
Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 06:32 PM Reach in your pocket for your keys..its worse.
coffee in the room.. emiril...YUCk....is there a starbucks in here??
ihavenosn 05-17-2008, 06:35 PM Are you at the Loews?? If you are, there's a little deli close to the lobby that has starbucks coffee there.
Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 06:42 PM Does anyone else have a 261 dollar charge on their credit cards for staying at Loews?? thats abit much to cover room taxes?
ihavenosn 05-17-2008, 06:50 PM Did you put a debit card or something on record for incidentals? From what the girl told me yesterday when I did the same thing, they take $300 out as a deposit and then return it a few days to a week after you check out.
ChelsDS 05-17-2008, 07:58 PM I'm at Loews and the girl at the counter told me not to use my debit card actually, so its on a CC instead.
Yea the lil deli in Loews is pretty nice. They have GREAT cupcakes lol. The pool is so nice...
Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 08:30 PM just checked into it. The charges were supposed to be place on Scion United Account, but nstead got sent to mine. It has since been corrected. But I would review my accounts just in case, surprises are not always a good thing.
Marssa Cafe is expensive...but nice.
Oh and Marakesh Cafe has STARBUCKS!!!! (they close at 11pm tho)
Dwatts5250 05-17-2008, 08:33 PM Are you at the Loews?? If you are, there's a little deli close to the lobby that has starbucks coffee there.
Yyup. Lakeview side room 8th floor....although isnt it really the 4th floor...since the 4th flooor is the lobby?
:doh:
yellowxboy 05-17-2008, 08:44 PM hahah i'm on the 5th floor facing the outside where the lake is at. its pretty nice. one more day! ;( wish i could stay longer.
ChelsDS 05-18-2008, 06:21 AM F'k I lost my sunglasses!! :( So sad.. BUT... I won a TRD Sport Muffler tonight! :D!! :love: Go me.
Dwatts5250 05-18-2008, 06:25 AM Congrats on the TRD muffler Chels. Sux bout the glasses. ( I lost most of my hearing after Redman started singing) its all good tho!
INFINI 05-18-2008, 06:43 AM This was pretty off the hook. I must say.... Thank you Scion Corp. and everyone else involved in making this weekend great for everyone.
foose801 05-18-2008, 06:48 AM agreed, what a rad event!
Dwatts5250 05-18-2008, 06:48 AM I second that James. MAJOR THANKS TO SCION CORP. THEY FREAKING ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!
ihavenosn 05-18-2008, 07:00 AM Ah, I'm on the 8th floor too!!! But unfortunately I have the front view of the hotel facing the big fountain in front lol.
And how awesome was the whole event? Man, I'm impressed, Scion really went all out for us on this. BIg thanks to Scion corp!!!
Red man and Flo Rida was SICK!!!!!!!!!! I thought Too Short was supposed to be there too?
Dwatts5250 05-18-2008, 07:13 AM Hey does anyone have one of those light up flashy scion necklaces thats blue... i have a green one, and wanted a blue one... i'll trade ya???
Dwatts5250 05-18-2008, 05:27 PM Well Im of to go get my box, checking out in a bit..
nyte_ryder 05-18-2008, 06:01 PM The event was pretty cool, but the entertainment was off the hook especially bringing out Redman was f'n sick. Flo Rida's performance was sweet!!!
Scion Corp. thanks for putting an awesome event and bring Scion owners together from all over to have a good time!
lvbitwiz 05-18-2008, 06:55 PM F'k I lost my sunglasses!! :( So sad.. BUT... I won a TRD Sport Muffler tonight! :D!! :love: Go me.
Saw that, you were pretty happy to say the least :clap: :clap: :clap:
SemaXD 05-19-2008, 05:33 AM big props to Scion , you rock!! also Matt and Danny from Beyond M Awesome job guys I know we told you out there but had to mention it again!!
jim and beth
INFINI 05-19-2008, 06:39 AM JUST got in! lol made some stops on the way :) I could not feel any better about the new friends I made at this event, even if it was just getting to know people better that I see at every show.
DaBlackBox 05-19-2008, 06:54 AM anyone here get any damage done to their cars?
INFINI 05-19-2008, 07:02 AM anyone here get any damage done to their cars?
Yeah there were some issues. I hope there will be a whole new thread and no bashing about it here. I know some people are upset. But a separate thread might be best if at all.
ChelsDS 05-19-2008, 07:37 AM F'k I lost my sunglasses!! :( So sad.. BUT... I won a TRD Sport Muffler tonight! :D!! :love: Go me.
Saw that, you were pretty happy to say the least :clap: :clap: :clap:
Haha, yea, I was bouncing up there :lalala: Basically that sorta completes the exterior of my car ;)
As far as damage... don't blame Scion. I would blame the Beyond guys since they put on the event for Scion. Anyways, a different thread would be best for this.
just4imz 05-19-2008, 07:41 AM just got in great event got to see alot of old friends and meet some new ones. thanks for everyone who helped make sure everything was cool for me and my girl. Wuddup Jim, Elizebeth, Gabe, Scott, Teresa, And the Rest of Team Koshak Thanks For Everything guys.
ihavenosn 05-19-2008, 07:44 AM Just got home about an hour ago, had to make some stops at the Mandalay bay and the fashion outlet at the primm on the way back haha
marcusxncca 05-19-2008, 07:54 AM just got back about 2hrs ago and I checked my credit card and I got chraged $723.60 for my hotel room a the loews :flame: what the heck is going on here ???
ChelsDS 05-19-2008, 07:59 AM Really?? Didn't you get a slip of paper under your door this morning with room chargers? I did, took it with me to the front desk and the girl behind the counter said that those papers were printed before the system updated. Meaning you shouldn't have been charged anything.
I would call Ian from Beyond marketing group and talk to him. Though I have to wonder how many of us actually got charged and it hasn't gone away yet. :?
marcusxncca 05-19-2008, 08:09 AM I got the slip but I didn't pay attention to it cuz I was so tired I just crashed on my bed and woke up the next morning and got ready to leave but either way I just called the hotel and they said they are going to fix it or something like that.
DodgerGirl 05-19-2008, 05:06 PM I made sure to check out in person so that I can ask any questions... I handed the girl at the front desk my key and she said, "Ok Ms. Flores, you have no charges".
I'm sure they'll take care of it!
INFINI 05-19-2008, 07:28 PM I made sure to check out in person so that I can ask any questions... I handed the girl at the front desk my key and she said, "Ok Ms. Flores, you have no charges".
I'm sure they'll take care of it!
Same here :) But without the Ms. Flores part, hehe
nyte_ryder 05-19-2008, 07:41 PM I'll be checking out tomorrow. They had to give me time to fix my bumper because it was hanging off so i will be leaving my hotel tomorrow morning.
kiss_kiss_kill 05-19-2008, 07:56 PM just got back about 2hrs ago and I checked my credit card and I got chraged $723.60 for my hotel room a the loews :flame: what the heck is going on here ???
I definitely have a charge of $679.60 on my account & nobody at Beyond is in the office, & the Loews Resort just sent me to a voicemail in their accounting department. I called my bank and I can't dispute it for 5 days.
are you sure that wasn't the deposit fee for the incidentals? When i checked out of the Loews my girlfriend made sure that they printed another receipt showing everytthing paid for
kiss_kiss_kill 05-19-2008, 08:50 PM It probably is the deposit fee. As of right now it's a pending authorization which is why I can't dispute it from my bank for at least 5 days. Maybe they'll release it but theres no reason they should be holding close to $700 as a deposit for 2 days.
It was a mess to try & get everything taken care of from day one of getting my acceptance to United. It took me 3 weeks to try and get everything sorted out. I got to the hotel & had no reservations under my name so they set one up there. They had the guest & owner names mixed up at registration for my car drop off, & apparently my pink widebody tC transformed itself into a 2005 Polar White xB. Then I later find out that the first 3 letters of my last name were missing, & so was the last letter (I have a 10 letter last name) which is probably why all of my stuff was mixed up. Ugh, so annoying. I had a blast at the event but everything was so unorganized.
HoldFastHope 05-19-2008, 08:53 PM No charge here, thank goodness I put a limit on mycredit card and it didnt go through, hehe. Instead they put it on Scion's master account. Wooooo! :P
INFINI 05-19-2008, 09:09 PM Just a reminder there is already a thread for "complaints" so why don't we keep this thread free of negativity. Just a suggestion..............
marcusxncca 05-19-2008, 09:35 PM ok they just credited my account back
kiss_kiss_kill 05-19-2008, 09:53 PM James, where's the complaints thread?
& Marcus, how'd you get the credit?
INFINI 05-19-2008, 10:03 PM James, where's the complaints thread?
& Marcus, how'd you get the credit?
heh, lol that was taken down quick :) Well prob. for the better. Sorry Tina it's not in the Regional forum anymore..
dbgchef 05-19-2008, 10:17 PM We had a group room charge on ours when they slipped it under the door, we just called the front desk and it was taken off and we were only charged for our room service chrges..... we had a great time.
c yas
MissBenilda 05-20-2008, 12:15 AM Same thing happened to me and i just finished talking to their account lady. you just gotta blow their phone up and keep calling them to make sure they get that ish together. Everything's cleared up for me now since they charged like 200something to my account for who knows why.
AND i got the printed slip under the door and when i checked out the lady said i had no balance or whatever. Wasnt til my unfortunate trip to the gas station on my way home when i realized the money that was intended for gas was used to pay the hotel b.s...

ChelsDS 05-28-2008, 05:17 AM Well UPS attempted to drop a package off at my door but I wasn't here so I did a will-call to pick it up. Inside the 1lb package was a letter from Scion VP Jack (last name escapes me) and a $100 giftcard as an apology to those of us with claims for damage. I totally wasn't expecting this at all, it just to even receive something like this makes me feel very god about being apart of the Scion family. :clap:
However, I already used it on an emergency for my dog =\ :cry:
nyte_ryder 05-28-2008, 06:00 AM I received the same thing today and it was awesome that Scion did that. I appreciate them for doing that for us and for everything else they have done!
wow thats awesome for them to do that. Do you know if they're sending it out to everyeone or just the people that filed claims?
momsbox 05-28-2008, 05:17 PM got mine yesterday. so we went and bought the last Wii Fit in Riverside county. It was very nice of Scion to do this for us.
kiss_kiss_kill 05-28-2008, 05:59 PM I totally want a Wii Fit.
nyte_ryder 05-28-2008, 06:15 PM I just wanna wii........im still stuck on PS2 :-/

Though that would be cool to make your own jacket with images borrowed from United's website. :lalala:
Dwatts5250 06-19-2008, 08:19 PM After seeing the pics for the commercial...I now know why my Halo Headlights have melt spots. Any idea how long they were left on in the desert heat....oh well. such is life.
