LONG WAY OFF.... Vegas late 2011/early (or even Summer) 2012 anyone??

Chaps....



Just throwing this out there really & following on from the posts in the other thread......


Anyone fancy a truly International GTG in Vegas late 2011/early or even July 2012??



Personally 'the further away & the cheaper the better' for me but I'm well aware we have many 'high rollers' on the forum for whom cost isn't going to be a factor....

But if December's way cheaper than January (or July's cheaper still) then that's gonna be my personal favourite, but of course I'm hoping that you guys will chime in with "can & can't do"s & your own experiences/insider travelling tips.



Obviously I don't suppose the likes of Raf' & Dalip will want to stay at Circus-Circus (or other less-luxurious hostelry?) with the riff-raff (like myself!) but I'm guessing some of the bars out there are great 'levellers' & while the ol' farts're sleeping it off the younger & better-looking amongst us (like myself again!!) can get out there & PARTAYYYYYYY!!



So let's get the ball rolling.......


Thoughts anyone..??

oh BTW - maybe a good idea to invite those "you-know-who", otherwise this thread will be semi hi-jacked again

(i'm sure this is also an open invitation?!? )

I think it would be awesome if we can pull this off. 2012 would be better for me.

As long as it's in 2012, count me in as well !

There was talks about having a "International" TRF GTG where EVERYONE can go, and it looks like this may be the one !

Hey Eric, thinking of getting a Navitimer, if I do does this mean I can't come to the GTG?

Not coming in yet, just doing some preliminary research and a bit of consideration first. I have yet to try one on yet, however I plan on trying one on in an upcoming trip to Chicago in a couple of days. We'll just have to see how things go.

Dalip, with your expertise and experience you could well be coaching the Socceroos next season and Travolta isn't only a fan of the Socceroos but is also Qantas ambassador
I'll be scoring the pointy end of the plane if that does happen
Get on the blower Mate
