Did anyone find out which hotel yet ?
I'm looking to see if I can get some sort of travel package.
Also, what are the rules for flying with laptops/cell phones ?

That's the website- I check it pretty much daily hoping for news on the hotel....but none yet. You can bring a cell phone on the plane, but it cannot be used while the plane is in motion....I know you can bring a laptop, but I don't think that you can go online with it because they always announce, '...you can use your wireless device as long as it's wireless mode is disabled.'
If you need a ride from the airport, just let me know.

--------------------------------------------------
FWIW & IMHO:
"Did anyone find out which hotel yet ?"
I don't think that it has been confirmed yet, quickest information available on that will probably a phone call to Nick Micale in Phoenix.
Most current & accurate info is on TB.com
It was mentioned earlier that they were looking into a block of 20 rooms at the cannery, and that they would confirm that later. 20 rooms will go in less than a heartbeat, probably.
Donno about laptops/cellphones.

Can we make a pact here, guys? The first onw oof us that get's any word on the hotel must immediately notify the others.....I'd really like to see to it that the Bastard Board guys all get rooms in the same place, y'know?
I really hope you can make it, Rob.

Thats the plan. It would suck if any of us got really shitfaced, and then had
to get a ride back to their respective hotel. :vom: :prayer:

What? I'll be staggering about the strip, 40 oz. in hand. And Gary's seen my cooler with the false bottom, where I keeps my gin. I'm going in locked and loaded.

....and the great state of Nevada is one of the only places where that's perfectly legal. I only lived there for 3 years, but my heart will never leave. It's really too bad there isn't more time, or I'd take you guys up to Ely where we'd party with the whores at the brothels....go od times, man.

Don't forget to bring Gary - he gets a nice "Frequent Shopper" discount. :spooge;

With the races being at night time, 5:00 PM Fri for the "test and tune" and 6:00 PM Sat, for ther races themselves, there's gfoing to be plenty of time to "whore around"
I thought that Uncle Sam bought the bunny ranch and then it closed, the most famous of the brothels. If I hang out in the casinos during the fckng day, I will be either very fckng broke, very fckng drunk, or very fckng both, drunk and broke. Looks like we are going to have to fend for ourselves for a place to stay at, and pay regular prices, too, to fckng boot. We all really need to decide on our own where we are going to stay at, whether it with ourselves, or with the largest group staying at one place. A lot of people will be at the cannery. Considering that we have already been advisd that we are not getting a group discount, we need to determine a place to stay at and start getting reservations individually so we have the best shot at getting everybody together. From the sounds of everything, my guess would be that if we mention Buick, racing, drags, we may get told that they are full up. I am definitely not interested in drinking and then driving. Might even consider a fckng cab to and from the races to avoid Nevada's finest. Im would have rather had day racing, night partying than the other way around. If we start getting reservations now individually, we could probably get the most people at the same place. Amny fckng ideas? Those are females whores and not male whores, right. Where's Phil at, by the way, speaking of male prostitutes?
-
Hey, I know a chick who works at the Orleans. I'll see if I can work something out with her, if she can do something. I was thinking of cabbing myself to and from the track. As far as day is concerned, I'm getting tore.
Edit: I have an idea, I'll need some Shriners caps though...

I'm still looking into some package deals and stuff. I may fly out
on the 12th. I'm thinking about going to the Hoover Dam and/or
The Grand Canyon on the 13th. Could hit some places during the day
before the races too !

Hoover dam is 10 minutes away, but the Grand Canyon is a bit of a drive, homeboy. Especially if you want to see the north rim (which they say is the best) you'll be driving all day and half the night.....they have helicopter rides to the Grand Canyon that take off right from the Strip- don't know how much they cost, though.
Natty- see what you can do- otherwise, does anybody have any preferences on our accomodations?
-
If I can't do a deal by doing this girl, I'll probably end up at the Sahara. Cheap and easy, like I'll spend anytime inside anyways.

Well, I have my favorites, but I'll go wherever everybody else is goin......as long as there's a bar.
-
BTW, Rob: the track is just outside of town to the east....maybe that might affect your hotel shopping.

Never been there, but a bed and a good place to drink would be cool. :atbeer:

I priced a package at $800
Round trip non-stop from Manchester (Southwest doesn't fly outta Logan ?)
Airport shuttle included
4 nights at the Sahara Tower
1 day trip to the Hoover dam and The Grand Canyon (Oct 13th)
It comes with some Planet Hollywood thingy and some other strip tour or whatever.
I still have a few more places to check on.....

....
Also, what are the rules for flying with laptops/cell phones ?
I fly with my cell and laptop all the time. They make you shut them down at take off and landing, otherwise you're good to go. :cool;
-
I'm suprised that you can use them in flight. My nextel raises
hell with just about anything its near(ie: phones, radios, recording,
and other sound equipment). It makes an annoying ticking noise
though that stuff.
-
Your nextel won't work up there, at least mine doesn't. But then again my Nextel rarely works.... kinda like my GN. :D

I thought that Phil had weenied out, too. I just think that he can't afford to take the real Art Carr along in case his tranny goes out.
What Hotel/casino is everybody at?

You booked at the Cannery? Sweet!
-
I have a room RESERVED
too many irons in the fire to actually book right now. I'll book it after I get my plane tickets. I might be going alone. :rockwoot;
-
So, it looks like I'm the only one who's bringing his POS Buick, huh?
-
I am bringing a POS Vette.
-
I am bringing a POS Vette.
Ah, the Z06. I had better get another ride in that thing this year.
.....for those of you who don't know, last year I got to ride in Gary's 'Vette and leaving the track dude lit 'er up and it was a lot of fun.
-

Its funny you said that. My boss was suggesting that I have a transport company
bring my car out there, so its waiting for me when I arrive. Then have them bring it back afterwards. Ohhh did I tell ya'll my boss smokes crack ? :smt033

Recklessrob- is this your first trip out west ever?

Recklessrob- is this your first trip out west ever?
Yup ! I've never even seen the Mississippi River.
I've gone about 50mi South of Tallahsee, and gone as far North as Prince
Edward Island.

About a year ago, my friends from ME (the ones you met) came out here for a week. They totally fell in love with it. I think you'll like it.....even if you don't, it'll be interesting to be surrounded with strange shit.
-
So, when should we all plan to meet at the hotel's bar on the 14th? I've met Rob, Gary and Brian- but not Robert......so I *should* notice y'all if you're at the bar. I'll be getting in to Vegas around 1 o'clock on the 14th.
-
Around 1: P.M. on the 14th, huh? Well, don't be tripping on my ass, because I am planning on getting there a little earlier and hopefully by that time I should be pretty well lit & falling off of the barstool. In other words, don't be rolling any drunks cause it will probably be me.
-
I havent bought a plane ticket yet but I'm going to try to get there around 12-2
I've never been west of the Mississippi River. Scared of westerners I guess.
-
Dammit- double post.
-
Gary, it sound slike I'll have some serious catching up to do when I get there......whi ch sounds great to me! Can you bring a funnel?
Robert: Westerners are much nicer than Easterners.... .although Vegas wont be the best example of that. By the time the weekend is over, I'll be upset if you're not making plans to move west immediately! Buy that damn plane ticket already, holmes- I will not tolerate you bailing out on us!
Where's Natty? When is he planning to arrive?

Friday afternoon or so. I think I'll Greyhound it, flask in hand.
-
I'm still shopping around for flights. Southwest is offering a $49 flight
to Florida, but not Vegas. :mad: If I go Southwest, my flight will arrive at
1:25 on Friday. Check in at the Hotel is 3:00, so I'll be the guy in the bar
carrying a suitcase. Maybe I should wear a black suit and carry a violin case instead.
(place mobster emoticon here) :rofl;

RR, were you going to do the whole shebang? Tours and stuff?
I'm hoping to get discount tickets through my work.
-
Well, the plan WAS that my wife would drive separate but after considering what our daughter's opinion of sitting in a carseat that long would likely be- she's flying instead.
.....what is it now, like 10 weeks? Super stoked!
-

Thata was the original plan, but I had to downscale it due to expense. I may
try and catch a tour of the Hoover dam Sat morning, if I'm not too hungover.

Hey, I've been hearing that because of new laws/rules you need a passport
to fly across the country (ie: Vegas) Is this true ?

No, you only need a government issued ID like a drivers license.

Yeah, that's all it was the last few times I flew. And if you smoke, don't bring that lucky Zippo of yours because they confiscate lighters.
