Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Jen, You are not going to believe this! I was just on priceline and expedia this morning looking at the cost of an airline ticket to Las Vegas for the Olympia. I wanted to post on the board asking people if they wanted to meet up there! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to that show but have never made the commitment. I'm wondering if there's an affordable hotel there somewhere and where's the cheapest place to get airline tickets? I REALLY, REALLY want to do it, if I can. Sara > > Okay, who's up for a West Coast meet-up sometime this year? We > could do Las Vegas for the Mr. Olympia maybe? It's in October, > traditionally.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'm sure we can find a cheap hotel in Vegas somewhere. When I was there (the only time I went) we stayed at a hotel off the strip and it was only $40 per night!!! Amazing, but true. If you are willing to stay a block or so off the strip, there's lots of less expensive options. Airline tickets shouldn't be too bad... Las Vegas is such a hot vacation spot that airfare is usually not too prohibitive, even from the East Coast. I would definitely commit to going myself if I knew for certain that other BFLers would be there. I've always wanted to go to it too! Jen B. > Jen, > > You are not going to believe this!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 KC to Las Vegas is only $198 round trip on SW Airlines. That's pretty cheap.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Sara, Try going to www.expedia.com and then click on " Deals " , then the Las Vegas button. Out of Penacola, for a 1-star hotel, here are the prices, including air fare and taxes. (Per person, double occ.) 4 nights: $382.97 3 nights: $368.20 2 nights: $353.43 For a 2-star, 2 nights goes to $383.63 3-star: $389.31 4-star: $451.22 (Golden Nugget) Most of these are downtown, in the older " strip " section (not nude strip, Brett!). The newer areas look like they'll cost an extra $100- 200. Bob > Andy, > > It's Oct. 29 - 31, 2004. The cheapest airfare I've found is $318...I guess > that's pretty good for way down here! > > Sara > ----- Original Message ----- > > > KC to Las Vegas is only $198 round trip on SW Airlines.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 One more note here.... when this group met up at the Olympia in 1999 (before I was a member but I heard about it later), I believe that a few people agreed to share hotel rooms if they were singles (and that would be ladies with ladies, men with men, for all you pervs!!) who didn't bring a significant other. That way they were able to stay at a nicer hotel and keep the cost down. Just an idea. Jen B. > > Andy, > > > > It's Oct. 29 - 31, 2004.
