Flight's Booked To Vegas! Who's Going?!

[BFritz21]

Just booked my flight to Vegas for the game! Flying out of Indy (cheaper flights and short drive from here) on Friday and flying back on Monday!

Still need to work on tickets but I'm guessing the crippled section will be pretty open.

Who else is going?!

Anyone want to meet up to at least say hi?

Haven't booked a hotel or anything yet.

[WeezyBengal]

I will be there. Im just hoping to be able to remember part of the weekend.

With the crew I’m going with, being able to remember any of it would mean the weekend was a failure lol

I'm going Fritzy! I'll grab a beverage or ten

I'm still mulling it over due to cost of game ticket. I like Vegas though. Been there 5 times and never had a bad vacation there. All the hotels are good. Stadium is down on the south end of the strip. I would expect they will have visitor tailgating.

Is there a particular reason why everyone is going to the Raiders game that I missed? Or is it just a coincidence?

Because Vegas....

I was thinking about until I started looking at tickets. Dam almost 1/2 my season tickets for one game.

Don't think we're going to the game but if you can find your way to our casino, I'd LOVE to get a drink with you!

I'm the crippled guy in the group!

Friends haven't said if we're going but I doubt it because tickets are stupid expensive, even in top rows, so I'm thinking the crippled section would cost me my first born child that I don't know about.......

Yeah, I was wondering if they changed Vegas so it's not Vegas anymore and nobody told me............

I'll be going. Had this circled for 2 years. Man it's going to be crazy fun. It's already crazy on weekends because its Vegas but now add a football team and crazy raider fans and the opposing teams fans I can't miss this. It's expensive but got to live life and enjoy it  tomorrow isnt promised. Although I'm single with no kids so it's a bit easier lol.

I plan on finding me a who dey wife tho  out there ?.  

But ya it will Definitely be cool to meet up and get to know each other maybe Saturday or something.  I plan on staying from Friday-monday.

[TecmoBengals]

I'm jealous, enjoy waaay in advance for those going. Pics if possible when it's game day.

[Bengalitis]

I'm tempted, the closest i can get to see the Bengals live other than in Phoenix.

Supposedly the stadium has a large video screen on the outside of it.  Don't know how it's pointed, if it is just for show, or if people outside the stadium can watch the game.  I'd be tempted to go and just tailgate, without a ticket, and even end up at a sports bar in one of the casinos.  

It would be an expensive trip though.  I can usually go to Vegas from Cincinnati, 4 nights during the week, including flight, for about 500 dollars. A flight, room and ticket for that weekend is at least 3 times that, maybe more.

Hmm never knew that about the outside screen. I'll have to look into that a bit more and see.

I'd go incognito, but wearing a lot of well placed orange here and there.

I like to take in an away game once a year. Vegas immediately came to mind, but the prices are stupid. I'm looking more toward Motown

hotels come in all prices in vegas.. although summer is cheap in vegas because of the heat. Nov 21 is close to turkey day. The biggest price gouge would probably be the game tickets and drinks/food itself, then the plane the farther you are perhaps.

I was speaking of ticket prices. The cheapest ticket you can find in Vegas is about $400. I can get club seat in Detroit for 1/2 that.

I'll go to Vegas to enjoy Vegas. I'mma watch the game in Detroit or maybe NYJ
