I might be able to organise something in that regard, I spoke with the head of the MGM Grand's events manager Scott Ghertner recently and interviewed him, it's possible I could wangle some free tickets/cheap rooms, we shall see in the future.

Who is paying. I think cause I do such a good job moderating that someone should pay for me, otherwise I'll delete all of your post!

Jk.

I'm broke, no chance for me sorry.

There are some very cheap ways to do vegas, I found some 3 person apartments which came to about 170 quid a week. That's about 60 pounds per person.

You can get a flight over at the right time of year for about 200 quid, spending money another 2-300, so all in, what, 600 quid for a week in Vegas, not bad if you ask me.

If things go well this year, I may go out and rent a place for about a month, if anyone wants to come visit, they are welcome. It's not definite yet, waiting to hear on a writing job, but it's quite possible.

Chris, your challenge should you chose to accept it.

Get you picture with Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jnr.

I intend to go back to Vegas as soon as possible.

Where are the Porn awards held then, I'll go for that, though it's probably a pretty dire affair full of dweebs ogling silicon titted women.

I was standing having a pee next to Larry Merchant, but felt it was an inappropriate moment for a photo opportunity, my apologies lads.

Especially as he was shagging his wife at the time in the carpark.....

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 19 May 2004, 11:15

On a serious note....

I'm defo up for it. I decided a while ago that I'm going to Vegas in 2005, lets sort this out lads. 8) 8)

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 19 May 2004, 11:38

Check this for instance, weekly cost split between two people.

Las Vegas-Valley View - NV

Thank you for your request. We have a studio available for you and we look forward to having you as our guest. Please make your on-line reservation below or call 1-800-804-3724.

Your rate will be:
$290.00 Weekly, beginning 7/7/2004.

(The above includes $21.00 total additional per week for your 1 additional guest.)

So, with tax, that's about 350 dollars, or 175 dollars per person, or put another way. 100 quid per corner, fornicate all in other words.

Yes my american trader said Vegas is cheap as hell to live there, he also said a lot of prize fighters live there.

i think if i won the lottery i would buy a place over there

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 19 May 2004, 11:41

Good idea, I'd be up for it - PacMan v Marquez 2, or the winner in with Morales. Great to go to one of the big Latin showdowns, with all the mariachi bands and Mexican fans there.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 19 May 2004, 11:42

You can buy a house in vegas for about 90k, couldn't get a fornicating lock-up for that in london any more. 50 grand for a house = piss all.

i don't know... sounds like a right laugh but do you guys all know each other already? you all seem very chummy. dont get me wrong, its a good thing.

me and riddick blowe are the only UK members who have been here for frickin years before there even was a UK scene forum but i dont really recognise you other brits names. it seems like a lot of you have made yourselves a little exlusive club out of this forum.

are you the very same seconds out british forum posse? i swear a lot of you guys used to give my mate 'president mbete' a harsh going over every day.

J · Post by J » 19 May 2004, 12:01

Mate i can say hand on heart that the only people I have met here are Real Deal and Ian "Mr" Mcneilly briefly at the hatton / pinto/ pederson (sorry can I say that now?) fight so no, not all chummy just being nice to one another I guess. better that way I reckon.

why not though be mad if we got a crew up and went.

and now never been to secondsout forum.

I had a masterplan to go to Cinco de Mayo this year. But i ending up going for a splurge in NY in Feb when the exchange rate was nearly £1/$2.

If Morales vs Pacman is going to happen i reckon it will be Cinco de Mayo '05.

I'm in and i work in travel so i can get very good prices on flights (and to a lesser extent rooms). I understand that Hardhitters has changed jobs recently but if he's still in travel he'd be able to do the same.

Over) i'm a secondsout refugee. I'd forgotton about the pres - he was bloody hilarious.
