World (Vegas) Travel Thread

I went to the Excellence. Googled it and apparently the Valentin is 15 min straight down the road.

I didn't get a racist feel at all. The only thing that was culturally any different or exaggerated than America is that they primarily spoke Spanish... Except I'm in the Bronx and Queens most days so even that wasn't different. It's bourgeois yeah but I was too drunk in the pool all day to care. It's just a big ass upscale hotel.

I've always disdained resorts as racist, polluting, bourgeois money traps.

I'm wrong?

i'm going to mexico next week...sounds like it's a blast!

Enjoy! I've been once, and I'd consider going back...but lately I've been preferring Jamaica. The staff in Mexico tend to be very good, but the Jamaicans are better at pretending to be your friend.

the resort in mexico was fun.  went into a couple towns on excursions & it was kinda sad to see the conditions of their homes & stuff.     now i can understand whey they are so aggressive when trying to sell you crappy souvenirs and ish.

Matty and Russell...some March Madness watch party info is starting to trickle out

You guys want to do one?

A buddy just gave me his timeshare week... in Kaanapali Beach in Maui for 7 days. Around $420 with transfer fees, and whatever charges, plus airfare. Virgin has sales as low as $169 one-way last month. Hawaii in December should be good. (sunglasses smiley here).

You going to Vegas?

[Sgt PSN]

Pretty sure he's going to Hawaii.

[PhillyPhreak54]

In December!

just seeing this...i mean yah i'd prob be down but its vegas so i don't like to be tied down to shtein.

but if there's some crazy cool place to watch i'd drop cash.

hopefully i can watch some hoyas NIT games while i'm there.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I've been looking around but nothing has jumped out as must do

So the idea of floating around is more appealing


I mean there are some cool spots but they're stupid expensive. I'd rather drop a grand at the craps table than sitting on a couch watching cbb

I get in around midnight Wednesday the 16th. I'm connecting through LAX bc it saves me like $350 versus the nonstop. I'll hit the book at Venetian to get down the early game bets and then it's on

Matt just checked in and reported that our room "smells like meat". We're off to a flying start.

[PhillyPhreak54]

haha...that's funny

I'm going to Reno for 3 days next month for work. Someone told me to go to the Mustang Ranch. I'll be really disappointed if they don't have horses there.
