Pre-Tours

If you're visiting from out of town (or from another country), why not come to Las Vegas early and make a vacation out of your trip?   NOTE: these optional tours are NOT included in the WOCO 2008 registration fees.

Day Tours

So you're coming to Las Vegas for the entire week of WOCO 2008. Are you going to spend all your days hanging around the hotel? We didn't think so, especially when you can go on some exciting optional day-tours!

Tours will be registered on a first paid, first confirmed basis. We will have limited capacity based on the instructions of the tour operators and our ability to provide rooms and entertainment. Some tours may be extremely limited, others will have virtually unlimited capabilities.

If you opt for one of our pre-tours, flights between the pre-tour location and Las Vegas are NOT included, and you will be responsible for making flight arrangements (1) to the pre-tour location, (2) from the pre-tour location to Las Vegas, and (3) home from Las Vegas.
