For the past ten years, the Rock ‘n' Roll Fantasy Camp has made baby boomer dreams come true. For an Indian Summer weekend, some of rock's greatest personalities wipe the dust off their sleeping bags and hunker down with fans wealthy enough to foot the bill. To celebrate their tenth anniversary, this year's Fantasy Camp (which takes place November 7th through 11th) is abandoning the buggy confines of the woods and convening in Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay, where campers will hang with Slash, Roger Daltrey, Joe Walsh, Cream's Jack Bruce and many more. Of course, an opportunity like this comes with a hefty price tag: $9,499. Here at Rock Daily, we’d need a guarantee that the following ten things will happen for us to break out the checkbook:

• Slash lets us prank call Axl Rose. We dial and say, “Hey Axl, it’s Charlie Manson. Heard you're a big fan. Listen, I just escaped from jail and I need a place to hide out. What's your address?â€�

• An impromptu session of Inside The Actor's Studio with Roger Daltrey. He can illuminate us on what it was like to appear on shows like Sliders and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

• Vince Neil leads campers on a raid on Hugh Hefner's Playboy suite at the Palms.

• Doobie Brother/military defense consultant Jeff “Skunkâ€� Baxter enlightens us with Pentagon secrets.

• Face painting with Kiss' Bruce Kulick.

• Slash teaches us Hotelroom Trashing 101. After the room is adequately destroyed, we take the wooden shards, build a campfire and make S'mores.

• Jack Bruce is driven to insanity by amateur guitarists repeatedly playing the intro to “Sunshine Of Your Love.â€�

• Joe Walsh takes five of us to the $10 blackjack table. Walsh is contractually obligated to sing “Life's Been Goodâ€� for the entire duration.

• Vince Neil leads campers on a raid to reclaim O.J. Simpson's stolen memorabilia.

• Slash shaves his head.
