Basher Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Booche - What do you think? I for one would LOVE to make the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I think I'd like to do this, too, maybe with a couple of days either side of it to enjoy Vegas for what it is. I should have enough vacation left to take a week and a bit around that time.What's the best way to arrange getting there and having a place to stay? Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Damn, that's a pretty sweet lineup. And in Vegas no less. I'd love to make this. Sadly I have a wedding to shoot that day. Booooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 The solution to your conundrum, KM, is simple: Convince the happy couple to move the wedding to Vegas! Use one of the chapels where an Elvis impersonator does the ceremony, have it take, say, 10 minutes, take 10 pictures, and spend the rest of your time enjoying the music.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 That is one SWEET JEEBUS Line-up! Nothing but a safe gamble on that one which can't always be said about Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Bradm, you are a genius! I'd even do it for free if they'd move it to the city of impromptu love. Hehehe! Hell, I'd only be taking 10 pictures right? I sure hope you can make it down to this. What fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I could likely get people rooms at Ballys or Paris for $100 and $125 per night respectively. I believe a deposit is due upon booking that is refundable if you cancel at least 48hrs prior to arrival.If you want the details PM me, and once I talk to my contact and confirm if they will allow others to book at that rate I will reply.

Kaidy Mae Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 True, there are LOTS of choices, however you should probably book soon. Vegas is one of those places that is always fucking busy. I think every time I (or someone in my family) has gone our accomodations have been rearranged in some way, shape or form. Stupid conferences. Since when do people go to "Sin City" to be productive? The strip should still be about hookers, coke and pissing away your life savings. Oh yeah, and seeing some killer bands every once in a while. If you do get the runaround from your hotel, just stand your ground and say what my Mom always says: "You overbooked? Why, that's a real shame. I guess we'll just have to take one of your deluxe suites then." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 dont forget yer golf shoes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I think a round of golf in Las Vegas costs about the same as the festival ticket - I think I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic ChrisC Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Wow! Crazy line-up! But I don't think I'll go to this. As Sunshine says, probably looking at $1000 for 4 days!For those interested, if you go to Expedia web site, you can search for flight/hotel packages to Las Vegas. Cheapest I saw was $550 Canadian. Not bad really. But add 2-day pass and expenses to that and it gets pricey. Expedia packages web page Anyone know if it's reserved seating at the stadium?

Basher Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's a football stadium - no way is it reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 i'm not playin golf...its impossible to walk in this muck, no footing at all. Order me up some golf shoes man, otherwise we'll never get out of this mess alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
