So with Vegas about three months away, I need to decide if I plan to go. Those of you who know me know I go rather often. You also likely know that I am expecting a baby in June so perhaps that money could be better spent on diapers.
I am of two minds.
1) baby on the way = last chance for a while
2) baby on the way = terribly irresponsible to go.
I wanted to get a feeling for who was going and what their plans were. I had heard rumour of somone organizing a trailer to take bikes down, and was wondering if this was true. I think if there was going to be a solid Vancouver contingent going I would be more inclined to go that route myself.
Let me know people.

I believe in #1, providing babymama is down with that.
We tried to do as many movies, concerts, trips and rallies as my tummy and work schedule would allow before the baby and I think it helped make the 'quieter' first year with baby better.
My mom wants to go to Vegas soon so maybe I will talk her into going with us then and that way she can babysit at night : )

First of All - Congratulations Court. Awsome news.
Secondly - Go to Vegas. I missed a Trip to Italy becuase of Bella's impending arrival and regret it.
Go and have a great time.

oh and then if you decide to get married while you are in Vegas for the rally then we will all be forced to go as well.

I'm keeping an eye on the airfares to Vegas. the cheapest will probably be with www.allegiantair.com/ out of Bellingham. but their fares haven't come down yet... when they *do* discount... the fares can be as low as $28 each way + taxes and fees... that's US $90 total return. unfortunayely... this rally is around the Spring Break time... so fares *might* not go as low. I'll post if I find good deals. |

Bellingham is currently *more* expensive than from YVR.
YVR - LAS - YVR on Air Canada is $79 each way plus taxes.
If you're going to San Diego after Vegas...
LAS - SAN is US$ 90 on US Air (taxes in)...
and SAN - YVR is $166+tax (one way)
Allegiant out of Bellingham is US$ 78 outbound and $124 rtn plus taxes.
(although US taxes are less for the outbound sector)

MGM Grand is across the street from the Tropicana...
and is a big step up in room quality... for only a little more money.
MGM Promo Code: MGM021
18th $79
19th $79
20th $129
21st $129
22nd $59
23rd $59
that's about $10 more than the Tropicana's tower rooms.
your *cheapest* option is still the Garden Rooms at the Tropicana.
