    Oh right I see your timer for the event. We used to stay at Flamingo a lot but haven't in a couple years.

    Expect a nuthouse on the strip and downtown. Soooo many people visiting during the New year.


    SandsFan, I was just kidding, it was kind of funny talking about NYE 2019.

    vegas is absolutely a shit show on NYE.
    Was there in 1995, staying at Maxim..we made it as far as the backside of Barbary Coast and turned around and went back to the room..it was just SOLID PEOPLE.

    I'm looking at Tues (1/1) through Sat (1/5) or Tues (1/1) through Tues (1/8).

    The flights and hotels are too much to try and be there for NYE, plus I'd be spending that whole day in the room / home casino trying to avoid the madness.

    We moved to Bally’s due to the room he can get us but will be playing at Caesars a lot. I think it will work out better with the kiddos. Bally’s room had frig and microwave last time which was a big plus

    We stayed at Ballys a few years ago for NYE. We had a Jubilee room that faced Flamingo Road. We could see the fireworks from the Venetian.

    Oh that's great. The room we had in July faced that direction and the reservation looks like we are in that tower again. Definitely we will be up in the room as we will have the twins with us again and that's long past their bedtime.

    Indeed it will!

    Other SOSF needs a proper handle, although OSOSF ain't bad. O could equal other or older, both work. We'll have him come up with something. I do like you're goin with DT for the twins... '5:1' works if you think of odds on craps bets, but too inside.

    I'm ready for this trip!

    A few friends and I are seriously thinking about going for new years from Dec 28 to Jan 1. We wouldn't do the street party though, that is just too much. We would get tickets for something that night.

    I’ll be there with my parents, uncle & aunt and a bunch of cousins and friends. Staying at Bellagio and going to their black tie slot gala. Always a super impressive event! I don’t have enough status to get this invitation but luckily my parents are always able get me a ticket!

    That sounds like fun. We will have small children with us so have to skip parties.

    So down to 57 days to Vegas which is like what is half of infinity? Still infinity. What a long wait, but the good news is I will be in Bossier City next week for work and to "practice" for Vegas. Yeah right, just to play. Hopefully that will last until NYE.
