Xbiz Summer Forum - Getting My Vegas Fix
 
I always need dates as early as possible so that I can plan for childcare. I thought a few of you might like to know the dates early as well, so I'm letting you know that they're posted.

It 'says' June 3rd - 5th, I guess they canned the May idea. It doesn't say The Hardrock yet.

Oh fuck me! June? That's the same time as the NHL Finals - I do have high hopes for my Sabres.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

I have marked it in the calendar. Is the new hard rock additions going to be completed by then? Going to look at the website.

I hope so.

They are closing down The Joint after this weekend and building a new one. Thats supposed to open up in April.

We stopped by there a couple weeks ago & the right side of the casino (from where the cabs drop you off) was completely different - there was a big nightclub over there & they moved the players club from the coat rack it was in. I wonder what they did with the RHCP light bulb outfits from Woodstock?

Torn Rose 2009-02-04 02:33 PM

I don't care what they do with what; just stop using a fucking air horn to signal the crane, there is something called a radio that will magically transport sound over a great distance that is much more effective and quieter.

And doing a fire drill when I am on a fucking un-air-conditioned elevator for 20 mins is pretty shitty too.

Greenguy 2009-02-04 02:41 PM

The $100 I gave the staff at the Hard Rock paid off very well.

OMG.. RDawg graduates from HS on the 6th and gets his associates from CSN on the 7th. I guess the party is on me this year!!

LeRoy 2009-02-04 04:46 PM

X-Biz has always been my fave show. I'll be there for sure :)

Theres a couple pics from last year in my profile if anyone's interested. Have a look

The way things are going this year I could go in April, May or June :(

MeatPounder 2009-02-04 05:59 PM

Don't worry Greenie, even if the Sabres get to the playoffs they won't get past the Bruins :)

MeatPounder 2009-02-04 06:02 PM

Oh, and if everone is going to be staying at the venue (assume the Hard Rock again?), I might actually do something I haven't done in years and that is actually pay for a room in Vegas (at least for the XBiz, I'll put it with a comp elsewhere to stay the whole week)

For those of you that don't know, Boston is the best team in the league this year. They are currently 38-8-6.

Buffalo has played them 5 times...the Sabres are 3-2 |thumb

Next game is the last day of the season - I hope it means something for both of us :D

New construction is Vegas is surprising considering the sharp downturn in the economy and its effects on the casinos. Bloomberg reported that Station Casinos is close to defaulting on its debt and on the brink of bankruptcy.

Station Casinos Proposes Prepackaged Bankruptcy to Cut Debt

Quote:

Feb. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Station Casinos Inc., the Las Vegas gambling company taken private by management and Colony Capital LLC in 2007, proposed filing for bankruptcy in collaboration with lenders as it struggles to pay the debt from the buyout.

[...]

Station, which promotes its casinos to local gamblers in the Las Vegas area, had trouble paying creditors in a market among the hardest hit by deteriorating home prices and recession- driven job losses. Gambling revenue in Las Vegas last year may have fallen the most on record.

Vegas in June sounds just peachy.

all you have to do is call the Hard Rock, tell them you are a rated player from XXX casino..and asked to be assigned a rep.. once they find out you've been spending $$ elsewhere, they are happy to try to capture some of those with free rooms etc.

I need to figure this out sooner rather than later. Need to go get back the money I left there this past weekend. |pokefun| bDok.

interesting that they are charging for this one this year. I liked the free gimmick last year.

teamperfectogab 2009-03-04 04:30 AM

makes me miss the heat after all the winter months!!

They are doing free, but like they did for the February show - if you attended their previous show, this one will be free registration. So Summer Forum attendees went to State of the Industry last month free, and attendees of that will go to Summer Forum this year free.

Greenguy 2009-03-04 08:54 AM

I'm hoping to go. I threw my hat into the ring for the seminars the other day.

But I doubt I'll be staying a couple days after like usual, unless some money falls out of the sky.

Tekster 2009-03-04 08:57 AM

I was hopping to make it, but the money is so tight that I have doubts. Then again, there is a few months between now and then. :(
