    I have the same offer. You get 2 tickets (actually wristbands) for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So you and 1 other person are good to go for the first 3 days. Each pair of wristbands are different colors i.e Thursday is green, Friday is red and Saturday is purple. You get all 3 pairs when you check in Thursday. Yes you can let different people go on different days. Last year I sold my extra Thursday 1 to a guy for $80.00. Friday I gave mine to a older guy who was standing in line and Saturday, my wife arrived from Buffalo and she went with me (she always lets me go to Vegas 2/3 days ahead of time so I can get all of my poker playing out of the way). From what I've read the Planet Hollywood set up is inferior when compared to the Flamingo. I did the Flamingo last year and it was in a huge Banquet room. About 100 round tables with chairs and at least 20 Big screen TV's that circle the entire room. 360 degree hoops. Not a bad seat in the house. 2 long table with food from 8a.m. til the last game finishes. 4 bars where you can get all you can drink. I stopped drinking alcohol in '93 so I'm not sure if its just free beer or beer and booze that's come with the wristbands. The Planet Hollywood set-up is "graduation/auditorium" set up, from what I've read. Rows of chairs and only the first 2 rows a have thin rows of tables in front of them (from what I've been told). Everyone else is just in chairs. That's sucks especially if you have food and beverage in your hand (which you will because its free). I originally took the Planet Hollywood when I confirmed over the phone but I'm seriously thinking about switching to the Flamingo. I'm 57 yrs old and I'm thinking that the Planet Ho crowd may cater to a "younger crowd". Maybe that's why its been hyped so much more than the Flamingo.

    FYI you can add 2 more comp days to your stay at any CET hotel that shows comp rooms available on your Total Rewards profile. I have 5 days comped including my 3 with my Hoops offer , at Ballys (3/19-24). Its 1 of the unknown secrets with CET!! Talk nice to the CET lady who answers when you call to book your offer ( if you haven't already)

    Stay tuned, Rocky Balboa will be posting about a VMBMMMG aka "Vegas Message Board March Madness Meet and Greet" ( in different thread). Hopefully you can make it. You are gonna have a great time!!

    Champster,
    Take my name off the "possible" for the 2nd-4th. :beer: Got the tickets, and GG is booked. I'll be wearing my band, and if someone wants to meet up, give a yell, or just show up. I'll probably either be at GG, or The D most of the time at the tables. :drunk:

    Hi it's a wristband, if I was clever enough on this board I'd put you the link in. Some months ago we all replied to the idea and Sonya ordered some wristbands, we all sent some cash and received the bands through the post, so now when we are in Vegas we can spot each other. There's probably only a few hundred around at present - if you do some searches you will find the thread I am sure.

    I copied this from a post that was up in Sept of last year. Not sure if it still works but here is what I found.

    VMB Wristbands Ordered & Shipping!
    I just placed an order for 200 wristbands that look like this: (except round, like a wristband Click or hover your mouse to enlarge image)
    Click or hover your mouse to enlarge image
    I'm not sure what is the best way to distribute them. I need to see the final packaging to determine how to ship them. They won't be here until October 5th, so be a little patient with me please. Click or hover your mouse to enlarge image
    From here on out, while supplies last, if you make a donation via Paypal of $5.00 or more and include your mailing address, I will send you one bracelet. If you need multiple bracelets, please send me a PM or email and we'll figure it out.
    If you don't use Paypal, also send me an email or PM and I'll give you my PO Box address and you can send a SASE and I'll send one out.
    Thanks!
    When You Can't Be There... Be Here!!!

    I may get in touch with you. I played a bit at The D when I went to Andiamo's last trip and had a good time. If I find my way downtown I'll shoot you a PM.

    Will be at MGM on the 18 to 20. I know I will be missing the first weekend of MM but can't help it.

    I really hope something will be going on with some of the group here on the 19th. Always up for a drink or 10.

    Hey guys. Sorry to pester you, but we seem to be short a venue for MM basketball viewing. Does anyone have a hookup for 3 dudes on Saturday and/or Sunday? I would really appreciate any help with this.
    This will be my 54th trip to Vegas. I know how it works during MM. Sports books are filled with homeless dudes trying to scam free booze. I just need 3 seats! lol
    A viewing party with open bar would be ideal! Please reply or IM me if you have any thoughts or can help. Thank you very much! #VMBersRule
