Umm, yeah ! Can we "sticky" this ? Heading to the "Phone Booth", Vegas (now) and into Arizona. I think this may prove to be a more prudent plan. Memorial Day weekend....



I hear the Lake is the place to be that weekend.. Now only if we had a floatation device of some sort.... Wait.. I have a BOAT!

Darren "SINCityRiot" can be our cruise beverage director

NICE! When you partied El Mon style, You HAVE partied.
Vegas crew, see you May 11-16. I got a convention then and will definitely be looking for a place to watch Thursday night football.

FUCK! We have an event planned at exactly the time of MLS Primetime's telecast.

However, I am looking for a place with Setanta for Wednesday's Watford V Hull Championship playoff game.
I'm staying at the MGM Grand. Any recommendations?

If the game is on Setanta, the MGM sports book usually has one of the screens on Setanta.

They open @ 8am so depending on what time the game is this may work.

Not really a pub, but I planned to take ESCo's advice and watch both the Champions League game and hte Watford/Hull playoff game at the MGM sports book. Send Ivan my way. Feel free to give him my mobile #. I'll go with him to somewhere else cooler, if he wants to pick me up at the MGM Grand.

Whenever two are gathered in the Beautiful Game's name, He is there.

Have a blast out there in Las Vegas Buck.

I caught the Barcelona/United C.L. semi-final match there a couple weeks back. First Half inside at the Mirage sports book. Second Half outside at the pool bar with waterfalls
and stuff. Ridiculous soccer viewing indulgence :cheers:

Ok boys, according to Ivan, the C&A isn't showing the game because apparently they don't have the channel. Kevin, answer your phone once in a while.
There is also a festival aptly named "Beer Fest" happening on Saturday at the Tuscany. $40 to get in and all you can eat and drink. Maybe check it out.
Fuck you. Seriously.

We had the big wrap up tonight, with all the dealers and the new cars. I saw the 370Z and next year's 'Cube', as well as the 2009 Maxima. There was lots of alcohol. I started with beer and then again went to cognac, Hennessy, I think. Boz Scaggs played. I always like his stuff in th 70's. Ha ha! I remember the 70's! He sang Lowdown, The Lido Shuffle and Breakdown Dead Ahead, then said "Thank you Toyota!"...later on, a cover band played rad versions of disco and R&B songs. The singer was a young Tina Turner type and she developed an immediate crush on me on account of my dancing prowess and the fact that I knew the words to 'Forget Me Nots'.

PS I am drunk.

PPS I couldn't answer my phone tonight because I was in the meeting...
I'll be hangin poolside at the MGM Grand tomorrow.
