Vegas baby. (If I can afford it?)

>Anyone have a rough idea for average amount spent for this? (minus airfare)

Depending on the hotel situation (roomates, etc) I spend about 400. That includes my hotel room without a roomate for 4 days and spending money. YMMV.

Heyo!

VegasCon can be done fairly cheap if you can resist the urge to gamble excessively and avoid the high price ticket shows (don't get me wrong, the high priced shows are usually worth every penny, but Vegas has dozens of very cheap or free shows as well that are entertaining in their own right). I've successfully managed VegasCon on a budget of under $200 a couple of times now while still having a grand ol' time. Granted, I usually go for a roommate, but that's more because I have a deep-seated aversion to paying for a room I'm only going to be using 6 hours a day tops, and most of that time sound asleep.

Interesting. Where would you be holding this sort of event?

I ask mainly because I will be in Vegas in March anyway. :-D

We're trying to organize it right now. First on the list is to get a date and hotel. Like Yamcer said, the yahoo group sems like a good place to discuss stuff.

Hi everyone! With just about 3 months to go, we have nailed down dates and rates for VegasCon 2009. The room rates are very reasonable for a March in Vegas, especially since that is typically a busy convention season for them. The rooms have been negotiated for the Sahara again.

In addition to the sleeping room rates listed below, we can have a small hospitality suite that would accommodate 20 people at a time. The Celebrity Suite is no longer an option as they have transformed it into a fitness center.

I hope you folks will be able to attend.

(room rates below)

SLEEPING ROOMS:



We are currently able to hold 20 rooms for the following dates you requested. This rate is based on single or double occupancy.



Deluxe Rooms:

3/5/09 - $56.00

3/6/09 - $115.00

3/7/09 - $115.00



**This rate does not include the following charges:

? Prevailing room tax (9%,)

? Facility Fee ($6.00 per room per night) this includes energy surcharges, unlimited local calls and access to the fitness center.

? Please add $20.00 per person per night for triple or quadruple occupancy

? Four (4) people per room maximum

Won't be there this year. :(

Spending way more money than I had anticipated in February AND will be smack in the middle of the semester.

Have fun, though!

Just had to point this out!

Southwest Airlines is running 50% off promotion for all fairs to Las Vegas from January 13 through March 11. The flights must be booked between December 30 and 31.

Note, taxes, and fees are extra, and are not covered by the 50% off promotion.

>>Tickets are going to be 20 dollars in advance, 30 at the door.

Are they going to be orderable through Simu again, or is there some other way to order them?

If Simu, they don't seem to be up in the ticketable events at this time...

Hi All!

Our dates for VegasCon are solid. It will be held March 5-March 8 at the Sahara hotel.

The above quoted rates for room are the rates we are guaranteed until February 5. That means you have until 2/5/09 to reserve your room with the Sahara if you want to take advantage of Con rates. To reserve your room, simply use the code "DragonRealms". The number to call to make reservations is 1-888-696-2121.

Tickets to the actual con will be purchasable on the play.net website as of Monday, 1/5/09.

We had a ton of fun last year, so I hope some of you will be able to make it.

VegasCon 2009 is sneaking up on us! Mark it on your calendars, because from Thursday, March 5, 2009 through Sunday, March 8, 2009, we will descend on the Sahara once again for four fun-filled days. There will be partying, drinking, socializing with friends both old and new, a birthday party for our very own Solomon and much, much more! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas (mostly), so don't worry about losing any dignity or respectability as you let your hair down and find out just what your friends are like when they aren't glued to the computer grinding for ranks. Early registration is $20 and is available through February 20th. After that, the price will be $30. There is a block of rooms set aside at the Sahara, so just use the code "Dragonrealms Vegascon" when you book your reservation. Thursday night rooms are ONLY $39 on Wednesday and Thursday and $77 on Friday and Saturday nights. For those of you who want or need to stay over Sunday, the rates from back down to $39! These special rates will only be available until February 5th, so book your room soon! VegasCon 2009! Can you hang with the party crew?

Tickets are for saaaaaaale.
