Thanks to everybody who is coming to hang with us in Vegas! I can't wait to cheers IRL again with you, this time right next to UMD's new physical home in Vegas.
Everybody has their own vacations and plans on what trouble to get into, but if you want to be with us, we plan to be on Fremont Street on the eve of the 3rd, 4th, and 6th. Friday the 5th we're meeting at Beer Park on the main strip and then seeing where the night takes us! Of course we're shutting down Golden Nugget's Shark Tank for our pool party on the 6th. You can see details and RSVP on the event pages: https://umd.net/calendar/umd-25th--vegas
Other than that I'm curious to know what everybody is planning during their stay, whether wet and messy or not! Or hell, even if you don't have any plans and just want to say hi, go ahead. Here I go: Hi!
Can't wait to party with IRL with yall. Please be safe in your travels, remember to pack your vibe, and let's decide to make this the vacation of our lives.
Now what's everybody getting into??
Stay messy, my friends
4/29/23, 12:05am: For those wondering, work on UMD doesn't stop so we will still be online for customer service, bug fixes, etc. We and our host will both have war zones set up in case we need to put out fires. Didn't want to include this in the main message as to kill the vibe, but thought it should be said. -MM
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, lunchtime or evening visits to one of the local eateries from Guy Fieri's Triple D series, and joining all at the Whiskeylicker. 5th Strip. 6th Pool. 7th Fly home.

Keep us abreast of where you actually end up, Mike. We might not make it to any of those spots and want to live vicariously
Hi, I'm flying in the night of the 2nd and will be staying at the Nugget. I don't have any definitive plans, but I do plan to go to the Adventuredome for some of the rides and the Twilight Zone mini-golf at the Horseshoe Hotel I haven't chosen the dates I'm doing that but likely it'll be on either the 3rd or the 5th. If anyone wants to join me for those, or to get messy, send me a dm here and I'll give you my number. I might join some of you on Fremont Street for a little bit on the night of the 3rd and 5th for a little bit. I'll also be going to the pool party on the 6th which'll be my last full day in Vegas. I leave on the 7th in the morning. Really hoping to get messy as well during my trip. See you all there next week
As someone who was there for UMD20, but can't make it this time, have an absolutely Fabulous Las Vegas time everyone! Some personal recommendations from my trip with Friday 5 years ago:
The Ventian and The Palazzo. Well worth exploring, and check out the canal! Shopping and exploring at Caesar's Palace. Helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon. Best $600 (for 2) I ever spent. The waterslide at the Golden Nugget Shark Tank. The Freemont Street Experience in general. The double-decker buses that run from Freemont Street down the Strip. Go upstairs, esp at night, and drink in the views. Walking the Strip by night. Get the bus down to the Mandaly Bay, walk back all the way to at least Fashion Show Mall.
Enjoy and good luck, from Lady Jasmine and I, in the casinos!
I'm rolling in Tuesday morning. Honestly, probably going to crash from the flight and pick up some stuff at Walmart that I didn't want to bring, or the TSA won't let me have in a carryon. I pack light.
Cinco Beer Park I'll be down for Revenge of the Sixth Pool party as well.
As for the rest of the week, I don't really have plans. I wanted to go check out Lake Mead, but I didn't really get much of a response back so I didn't bother renting a car. I'm on probation, so I can't drink, smoke, or really stay out late.
I'll probably just be cruising around the city most of the week by myself. My brother might be coming out for a day from San Diego to chill with me as well.
I have a Vegas condo around center-strip and I'll be in town for a week starting Tuesday night. No firm plans yet. Might do a shoot or two. Definitely will wander in and out of frame for most of the nightly get-togethers.
Holland said: So far I'm shooting some content with a friend of mine in the daytime on Thursday (not WAM) and some pie exchanges will be happening Wednesday night!
I'm pretty chill and am not into clubs so much so if you're similar, reach out! Fremont street seems like more of my vibe.
I'm also hoping to meet producers like Darla, the Messygirl crew, and to see Cream Me again!
Not so much into clubs as well can't wait to meet some folks and learn and grow my wam history
I'm also not really into clubs. I can usually tolerate that sort of scene for about an hour, maybe a little more if I'm drunk, but that's about it. So I'd be down for some sort of alternate plans during clubbing night!
We are going to messygirls party, the pool party, and darlas party. We have an air bnb where we will have some messy fun too! I'm trying to treat this as a vacation bc I'm so blessed I get to GO! I don't know when I'll ever get a vacation like this again! Plus? I've NEVER been out west! So this is huuuuge for me! I roll in at like 9 am Wednesday morning after a hella long flight and all that so wed? I'm just chillin and getting my meds straightened out yes I have kidney disease and im old so I have medications I take HOURLY. so? After that I would love to do dinner meet ups with everyone! I think each night we should all meet for dinners! Im also gonna get my ass bleached! Haha! And POSSIBLY a tattoo.of guess what? A teeny little pie! I don't know where to put it yet.I can't very well get a tat of a mud hole. Lol but I love pies! We got this place at the pool so if we aren't at the bottom by the pool? Look for this thingy and that's where we will be ! Come hang! I'm excited but also, y'all? I don't get out. Like ever. So? We will see how late I can stay awake! I think one night we should find a club and dance off some fat food!
I think each night we should all try to get dinner together at the least! So everyone can meet and all that! Or lunch even! I need to get on that chat link!
Thursday we're doing the Mess Factory Live Show and Pool Party! There are still audience slots available so email Darla, darlasmessfactory@gmail.com, for tickets! You'll get a chance to pie me if you come!
Daisy and I drive out early tomorrow morning! This will be my first time doing Vegas and Im so excited to meet everyone! Ive been told before that I can come off as intimidating, but I promise Im friendly, I just have RBF. I have social anxiety and I dont know what most of you look like so please feel free to come up and say hi if you see me around! <3
The first event in Vegas was amazing... great people, fun times, fantastic pool day, and multiple messy opportunities... plus its Vegas so there was tons to do. Sadly I had a work conflict for the 2nd one. Now years later, post pandemic, and likely tons more folks with a wider range of wam interests, I feel like this week will take things to the next level.
I arrive Wed afternoon, unless United F's me again this month. Packing might be a bitch given the unusual weather, options for going out to a club vs Fremont st, and bringing stuff that can get messed and tossed. But it's all worth it.
I'm so excited about getting over there and meeting everyone, I was disappointed to miss the last Vegas outing so I'm going to make the most of this one. If anyone fancies joining me on a craps table please let me know. Assuming no problems with the flight, I'll be there in 14 hours.
Oh my god I can't sleep I'm too excited! We'll be hitting the road in a few hours! SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone, please feel free to approach me, introduce yourself, chat me up, I'm here for it! Does anyone want to go to Meow Wolf with Wamfan and I this week?

I had planned on going to area 15 and Meow Wolf on my own but would love to join you and your group if that's cool. It's always more fun checking out the sites with a group of people.
I made a big road trip out of this, and I got into Nevada yesterday. I crashed at this creepy clown motel last night and will be camping at Tarantula Ranch tonight. When I get to Vegas other than the planned UMD events ar that I plan on going to area 15 at some point. I will be doing the May the 4th beer festival on Freemont on the 4th for a bit. Other than that, I will be checking out some restaurants and bars I found online that look pretty cool.
