    Cadet and I are both hoping for flats, actually. And I'm still holding out for a U.S. soccer jersey.

    Hey, at least I didn't pick the @#$^!$^ing Red Bulls! :eek:

    I was looking at a national team jersey ... maybe DaMarcus Beasley. Landon Donovan is too common and the guy who has my number - 10 - isn't exactly my favorite player. Claudio Reyna isn't bad, but he's never done much to make me root for him, much less purchase a jersey.

    Suggestions?

    Just another little reminder.

    I just did a check at Travelocity and found rooms for as low as $60 per night (OK, it was at the Circus Circus) and $109 at Treasure Island or up to $400 and more at the Venetian and Mandalay Bay. Double up with a buddy and it'll be a cheep getaway.

    Has there been any "official" hotel established? Please, not Circus Circus, anything but Circus Circus!

    An emphatic NO on Circus Circus. Anyone can stay there if they chose to, but I'm thinking a little nicer place for our official gatherings -- and by that, I mean hanging out at the sports book to watch the NCAA title game and a dinner or two at one of the buffets.

    What's your suggestion/recommendation?

    The last few times I've been to Vegas, I've stayed at the Sahara, which has a horrible book. I haven't been to the TI in a few years--how's the book there? Another suggestion might be the Trop. The Las Vegas Hilton used to be nice, but I haven't been in a while. It would be nice for those of us with HiltonHonors points though.

    I was hoping to make this trip, but it appears I'll probably be out. Got a family function in Phoenix in May, so making two trips out West would be tough.

    Now that you're out, Cosmo, who from out East is making the trip? If I do go, I don't wanna be the only East Coaster.

    And flughts out to Vegas seem to be cheap, relatively speaking, from what I've seen.

    More than ever, the Stardust will be missed.

    Tropicana sucks, and it's way the hell away from everything but the MGM.
    The outing is four months away. Let's get something figured out so I have a reason to stay out of jail until then.

    Wicked - you should just drive out there. And make sure to "swing that shit wide open" when you do :)
