Vegas Trip 2012

Hey Fellas -

Since the season is winding down and I've gotten a couple of inquiries on this already, I figured I would throw out some Vegas Trip 2012 details so you can start planning and saving for the biggest and best weekend of the year.

DATE: OCT 19 (FRI), 20th, 21st...back on 22nd (MON)

WHERE: Last year we stayed at Harrah's and gambled at the book at the Mirage...expecting a similar plan this year.

COST: The trip itself (room + flight) is about $500-$600 usually. Beyond that, you'll want to bring a bundle of gambling $$$ for all our winners we'll spot on the big board.

I usually book the trip in the early to mid Summer time. We'll fly out on Friday and return on Monday, so those are the 2 days you'll probably want to take off from work (also Saturday/Sunday if necessary). If you are interested, please let me know as we get into the Spring so I can have a complete list and know how many room we need for this year. We typically go with 4, but the more the merrier...anyone who is interested is welcome. For most of us, the weekend consists of tons of booze and sitting at the sports book until they run out of games each night and then moving our diminishing skills over to the pai gow tables or anything else that could take our money. Not a lot of clubs or shows, we hit the sportsbook hard and then find something else to do when the games are over.

This year, we are moving it back to the MEA week to accomodate my partner in crime, the only other guy who hasn't missed a year yet, the infamous JG. It also works out well because our favorite squad just happens to be playing on the road at a certain rival known as the Vadgers that weekend...oh god, I can see the carnage already. We better hope it's an 11am kickoff so we'll still be able to see it when we rush the field to take the axe!

Anyway, it's the greatest time ever if you enjoy booze, sports, and gambling. So start planning now and mark your calendars. I have a feeling this will be discussed about 45 times in the next 6 months before booking, but I just wanted to throw out the reminder and the details so anyone who wants to join in has that opportunity.

Thanks.
