08/14/10 - VEGAS BABY!!!!


Recommended Posts

Man!! What a Rush show in Vegas can do to me!

 

I am leaving soon for a 1 week vacation to a resort south of Cancun, Mexico. It's going to be a great trip! Snorkling, Mayan ruins, all food & drink included, golf. Sounds great right?

 

So why is it all I can think about is this Vegas trip??!! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/icon_alienjig.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/martini_shaken.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/martini_shaken.gif

Ok, back from my Mexico trip and it was amazing!! Got to get online and hear the new songs while I was there. Very exciting indeed! I'm soooo ready for this next trip to....VEGAS!!!

 

By the way, most of the locals in Mexico not only knew of Rush but were big fans too. They even played some Rush at the pool 2 of the days I was there. Pretty cool!

Looking more and more likely I'll make Vegas! Looking at getting in on Friday (skipping the Irvine show) so if any of you Rush nuts are in town on Friday night hopefully we can meet up.

Tickets sorted, hotel booked. 79 more sleeps to go! 78 actually, we are staying Fri and Sat. I'm sure the Fri will be a very loose night.  http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif  http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink38.gif  http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/653.gif  http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif  http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif  http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink38.gif

Sweet! I haven't partied with Australians for about 11 or 12 years! We had a roudy bunch of workers from Perisher Blue come to the ski resort where I was working one winter. I think that the alcohol consumption for our small mountain town rose dramatically that year! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif

 

Vegas is gonna be AWESOME! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/1022.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/2.gif

11 or 12 years. Well your liver must have recovered by now. We must fix that. It's looking like we need a venue for a Friday pre-showday celebration drink. I hope we can find a bar in Vegas that's open on a Friday night. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

 

60 short days until showtime! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/2.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/653.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif

Hey, Sully and all, I remember that walk too.. So much has changed since then.. Geesh, it was only 3 years ago, right? Money is like crazy tight, but I'd like to make it somehow. Maybe I can hitch a ride with flybynightgirl. You only live once, right? And RUSH ain't gettin' any younger.. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif

 

Sully, I love that song Fantastic Place in your sig, one of my favorites!! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/yes.gif

Still looking for good flight deals. If anyone sees anything please post. Coming from Cleveland. Best price I am seeing right now is around 4 bills.

OUCH! I'm flying from our little local airport, but I got a special promo rate because this airline just started having flights out of our airport. Round trip, plus shuttle to and from my hotel was just around $115.

For those of you that havn't booked your hotel yet. The Tropicana is developing a new reputation! They have completely remodeled one tower so far. It's the "Paradise Tower". The new rooms are beautiful and receiving rave reviews. But the big news is they are doing a great deal right now. It's called the "Summer in Paradise" package. The new rooms are going for $49 on the weekdays plus your 3rd night is free! Friday/Saturday night's are a bit high at $119 but there are other goodies to consider. Early check in/late check out (1pm), VIP check in, 2 for 1 show tickets, a "Fun Book" with lots of food & drink deals, free slot play, reserved pool seating and more. It really is a great deal! Plus they have this girl, Nicole Marshall, "Guest Experience Specialist", that is just great at setting things up. She even waived the $7.99/day resort fees for me! So I ended up with a 6 night stay in a great brand new room, right in the middle of it all, for only $392. That's an average of $65 a night with Fri. & Sat. included. Not bad folks! Hell, it's gonna cost me more than that just to fly there! That's only $100 more than the same 6 night stay at Hooters, in a noisy, older and probably dirty room (according to some reviews, I've never stayed there.) And, well, it's Hooters. A hundred bucks more for 6 nights? 16 bucks more per night? It's a no brainer!

 

Anyway, I have been doing a LOT of research...TOO MUCH, so I just thought I'd pass this info along. The Tropicana is not the same old, smelly, run down Tropicana! And the prices are still pretty good too. Read the reviews on Trip Advisor. You'll see. Yes, they still have cheaper/older rooms at the Trop., for now. And yes, it's cheaper at Hooters. But this is a pretty dam good deal my friends!

 

See you all in Vegas soon!!! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/icon_alienjig.gif

Any solo folks out there looking to share a room? Wife is giving me grief on the expenses. We can't find a cheap flight and she wants me to cancel. I have my ticket and a free flight to book. She wasn't going to the show anyway. I'm going to this show damn it. PM me.

Alright that's it! Going to drop my three nights at MGM for 2 nights at Tropicana for less money than I already have deposited at MGM, see PT Friday, Rush and Primus Saturday, fly home Sunday, and see if I'm still married.

 

Wife is killing me on this but I have to baby. I have to!

 

Edit - Done - Just need to book my flight - I have a free one coming. She can't be pissed about this. Can she?

I've all but given up on making that weekend. But, man!!!! It would be incredible. It's too perfect. PT and Rush. I'm going to keep an eye on flights, but I don't see it happening. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif

Anyone going to the Porcupine Tree show the night before or the midnight Primus gig after Rush's show?

Holy crap! I can't believe this is the 1st I'm hearing of this!! SRO on the floor only $25 and $51 for a VIP table seat? Not bad! Looks like a cool new venue at the Hard Rock too! Hmmmm.

Oh hell yeah. What a weekend.
