Oct 23rd - Las Vegas - General Discussion & Gathering Thread III

[RedRocksU2]

I'm walking.

 

[zuropa_fit]

^me too! walking / stumbling / being carried

 

[waynetravis]

 

[lauramullen]

I'm walking or taking a cab

 

[Sicy]

I suppose getting a cab in Vegas at 1Am would be relatively easy.

Might not be so easy with like 20,000 other people wanting to do the same thing..

 

[lauramullen]

That is so true

 

[lauramullen]

^lol




Drive over together maybe??? I'll pm you.

Definitly.

 

[Thora]

Anyone have ideas how to get from the strip to the concert and back? Early on, there was some talk about chartering a bus. What do you think the cab fare would be each way? I suppose getting a cab in Vegas at 1Am would be relatively easy.

I'd definitely be interested in doing the bus thing. However, we're not doing GA, so we don't want to get to the stadium hours ahead of time. Not sure if we could arrange for just a ride back to the strip afterwards on the bus...

I did find info somewhere (forget where) that an hour long cab ride is around $22. With all the traffic, I have no idea if it will take an hour to get to the stadium from the strip, but there you go.

I think we're just gonna hope for the best, and maybe arrange with a cab driver to pick us up after the concert's over.

I just tried calling Sienna Suites to confirm my reservation and I was on hold forvever, so I hung up. I booked online and I want to make sure everything is good. I have had problems in the past when booking a hotel online

was anybody else at the 97 opener?

i mentioned this somewhere (maybe the vegas I or II thread)...getting to the show was simple, getting back was a pain in the ass. my sister and i, and it seemed like everyone else, walked FOREVER.

we finally hopped on a city bus and we made it to the strip, then we took a cab to our hotel (which was off-strip).

i suppose you could call a cab, but it's quite a ways from the strip on a friday night. i really think cabs are going to be slim pickings as the cabbies aren't going to flock way out there when they can run their regular areas.

i'm glad i'm staying at sienna

I'm more worried about the Bed Bug situation. I'm afraid to check to website from the bed bug site from the Chicago thread.

 

[lauramullen]

I read that. That is pretty scary

 

[Mr. BAW]

After the show, make it to the main drag and hold up a sign, STRIP or BUST! that might entice someone to offer a ride...

 

[Mr. BAW]

I think I saw a bed bug reference re: Sienna Suites but that may have come from Tripadvisor.com...

And, after checking the maps, I'd think that Henderson is closer to the venue than the strip; albeit it not as much fun, but still plenty of nice hotels..the Station hotels are out there...

 

[trojanchick99]

The stadium is pretty far from the strip. I'm driving to and from my fleabag motel Downtown and could fit 3 other people in my tiny car. PM me for deets.

Note: I'm GA so I will be getting to the stadium early.

Ew I'm looking at that website now. I am pretty disgusted to read that hotels like the Stratosphere, Excalibur and Caesars palace have had reports of bed bugs

However,

Siena Suites
6555 Boulder Hwy
Las Vegas, NV 89122-7455

There are no bedbug encounters on record for this address.

Here are some reviews for the hotel
http://las-vegas-hotels.tripadvisor...86-Reviews-Siena_Suites-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html

Someone did report bed bugs on that site it seems.

 

[RedRocksU2]

woohoo!

 

[lauramullen]

 

[Mr. BAW]

But those can happen anywhere...Char and I stayed at The Lodge (pretty upscale) in Palm Springs...the lady in the pool was so bitten, red spots on her legs and back; she was nearly crying to her husband who only told her, "Only one more night...!"

we had no problem.

As we're at the same hotel ,maybe we can go with you and share the cab fare

^so is Sienna walking distance from the stadium?


If not, the parking situation shouldn't be too bad in comparsion to some of the larger venues right?

 

[nicv]

Sienna suites.

It looks kinda 70's ...ha?

Not bad and no bed bugs!!! I doubt there will be traffic trying to get back to the Siena Suites

 

[Thora]

That's an excellent idea! You have seats, right? If so, that would be great to go with you!

 

[zuropa_fit]

There will be if that's where the party is!!!

And yeah, it's within walking distance. That's why a bunch of us are staying there!



I just wanted to jump on the cabbagepatch bandwagon

 

[nicv]

^ Siena = walking

duh that's what happens when you join a party late, thanks for filling me in.


Go zooey, go zooey

 

[Sicy]

Google maps says its exactly 1 mile from the stadium.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Perfect, we'll be really thirsty by the time we get back

 

[lauramullen]

I'm staying at Sienna Suites too. Who is having the after party?

 

[RedRocksU2]

If everything goes right, we will have two suite connected.

I've been at the Excalibur several times and never had a problem with bugs or anything.

...i can't wait for this trip. I reserved my room at the siena suites back in march. I hope management doesnt realize their bad business move and jack up the prices
