Well we certainly need to get those Project Inspire guys on our team. They are obviously good at what they do.

I was going to respond with a million reasons why it won't work, but instead of being pessimistic, I am going see how really inspired you are. If you want, I can PM you the schedule of my next trip and we can work together to see if we can make this happen.

I will sponsor the East Coast Danishes, but you are going to need to round up the Jews.
I am not big enough to not do something I WANT to do because I know it is wrong, but I've been around long enough not to want to do many things, even though they are really enticing at the first glance.

I'm up to the challenge.  I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 
The goal is eventually to have an interactive website in which travelers list cities and times where they will be going and prospective students list their locations and the two can contact one another.  But lets take one thing at a time and see if with the help of some kiruv organizations I can help find you some study partners.
Help free Sholom Rubashkin by giving him the zechus of Shemiras Eiynayim.  www.guardyoureyes.org/forum/index.php?topic=2809.0

I am working on a trip to Southwestern Utah, not to far from Las Vegas. My initial inclination was to stay in Las Vegas overnight where I can catch a minyan and for Mincha-Maariv and shachris and it would be a somewhat "kosher" environment. My second thought is that Las Vegas is known as "Sin City" and that does not sound like somewhere that I want to be.
Does anyone have experience and can give an opinion on this dilema?


In case anyone is following...

I went to Las Vegas. The airport and the surounding area ("The Strip") are pretty bad. But all airports are pretty bad, once you get outside the the airport area it is not much worse than any big city. The two shuls I davened in were very nice. The selection of kosher food at the local supermarket was good enough to make me almost hyperventilate from excitement (after a week on the road...) All in all, it seemed worthwhile.
