CaneBrain 95 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 There are some great late September/early October deals that I may have to get in on. Because of work I have no choice but to do the get in Friday night, go nuts for a couple days, leave Sunday night super late. Still worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
aucu 3 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Going to be in Vegas 3 times between Aug 24th - Sept 5th.Will try to extend one of those stays by a couple of days instead of just stop overs at the airport. Link to post Share on other sites
MaxStPolish 4 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The blueprint:Confirmed trip Saturday September 12- Tuesday September 15th.The agenda:Taking a late flight out of chicago, so we won't get in until like 9-10pm Vegas time. I figure I'll check in, check out the big board, get NFL action laid down as I see fit, then maybe a shoe or two of blackjack, or perhaps a few rounds of the "duck game", some random slot that I simply love, but to bed no later than midnight if not earlier. A good nights' sleep and get up with wife at 6-7am for some breakfast, and then zip over to MGM or Ceasars and stake out seats at the sportbook for NFL WEEK 1!! I will proceed to sit there and drink and watch football all day. The bears don't even play until sunday night, LOL.Anyone who's been there for a week 1 college/NFL before, any estimate on seating at the book. I feel like if we get there by 8am (10am kickoffs) that we'd be able to get seats. That's just a total guess though. Anyone with more of a educated thought?The monday will be fun in the sun/pokers.Nice simple trip that should cover my bases nicely Link to post Share on other sites
Tehtoe 3 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 7 hours?? i'm guessing you have a stopover. if it's in Minn--dont eat at the McD's in the airport, i got really sick the last time (it was probably due to lack of sleep, excitement and excess alcohol comsumption) but it made the first day or so in vegas unbearable.ya, I'm in Minn...was originally gonna be Atlanta but this flight was better. Last time I stopped in Denver, which is a really nice airport. Link to post Share on other sites

Week 1 is going to be nuts, so i would suggest maybe 7:30. Also if your two choices are MGM and Ceasars choose MGM. Ceasars is just plain awful. Link to post Share on other sites

MaxStPolish 4 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Leaving todayLook for the dude with a permanent semi at the dice table throwing back free beerAwesome. T-minus 36 hours until I land in sunny (at that point dark) Las Vegas. Stupid head cold has really stymied what was supposed to be a really exciting weekend.Had my fantasy football draft last night as the first game was kicking off. Working a half day today and then going to the cubs game. Then playing wiffleball with friends tomorrow and then flying out to vegas with the wife early evening. I mean i should be just estastic right now. But enter the nefarious head cold (thank you wifey) monday night.I've been fighting it tooth and nail though, so I'm really hoping to be at like 75% at least by tomorrow night, and hopefully 90%+ after a day of football in the sportbook and maybe a time out to get some sun and let the 90+ degree heat dry up these sinuses!GL Stiles, take the whole place down. I intend on doing the same. Link to post Share on other sites
