meteorites it has left!

Does anyone know where I can find a complete, up to date list of all the

Hi Adam, List,
Maybe Las Vegas, NV probably could build a miniature Tucson with
working freeways and hotels in time for next February, complete with a
Tucson Ring cornerstone half buried in the middle? Is the article
talking about pulling the entire Show as you mentioned? Or, since the

Hi Adam, List,
That's not good... It may be good for Las Vegas, but for show
vendors/exhibitors this will mean increased costs for spaces/displays.
Vegas ain't cheap!
Tucson should do something to resolve this, if it truly is an issue of
more accommodation and better facilities for the

It's the same thing with sports facilities. If it doesn't have enough
luxury boxes and premium suites, then the team owners demand a new

I am just quoting what the local papers are saying. Las Vegas claims to be the

Probably do both...and maybe even attract a fair number of new folks to
acquire a souvenir from space from Vegas in the form of a meteorite?

I think France is the number one visited country in the world but Las Vegas is
the number one city with an incredible 40-plus million visitors a year. It is
impossible to say for sure since there are so many biases and inaccurate data
floating around.

I imagine you would see something similar to shows in Anaheim. People would be
drawn to the casinos (like they are drawn to Disney Land), and sales wouldn't
be as good as they would be in a place where the major attraction is the show.
This problem has been building for many years. It seems

Hi MikeG,
Since you just moved to Florida and want to cruise the RV around on
different adventures, driving to Tucson (or Vegas) in the RV would be
great. You could map out different meteorite strewnfields and areas to
hunt/collect minerals on the way there and back. Now, that would be cool!

Hi all -
From what I could make out during my visit several years back, many meteorite
dealers were paying so high rents in Tucson that it left them with little
profit for their effort.
While list members are meteorite centric, we have to keep in mind that the Gems
