Vegas Trip
- Thread starter swiacy
- Start date
I bet prices go down as airlines start to offer more flights. I used to take this flight all the time for conferences, and never paid more than $350 for it. Promised my son 3 years ago when we saw this game that we would go, so I guess it is what it is.
We are going to take over the city that weekend. Daytime temps in the 90s. Looking forward to this as we didn’t get to go to a bowl game last year.
I wish it wasn't during the Life is Beautiful festival to really show off how much of an impact we can make. And the prices would be half what they are which means more people would probably go

Vegas is a little different than other towns. They're completely used to big crowds coming in for events. ISU fans will be visible, but it won't be a takeover by a long shot.
From a numbers standpoint, Vegas attracted over 42 million visitors in 2019. That's over a hundred thousand a day. If ISU brings 20,000 to a weekend game, that's doesn't really register.
I agree (and hope for) this. I believe that airlines will add flights since they should have planes available due to the currently reduced flight scheduled. I have a companion pass and a couple credits but they are all with Delta so I’ll hold out for a while. The bummer is that all of the the Delta flights currently available are in flight classes that don’t permit the use of the companion pass.
There is ALWAYS a convention or 5 going on in Vegas, this won't really add much to it.
HOLY F.... SW website said the flights were releasing on 4/22 for sept. dang...
Glad I saw this! Grabbed tix but like 650-700 a person on SW is robbery... UGH. the things I do to see ISU in vegas.

Game tickets will be easy, the stadium seats 65,000. UNLV cannot sell a ton of season tickets.
The plan is they block of the upper decks bringing it down to the 35k range. I'm still not worried about getting tickets though.
Not in 2020/1. Also big ones don't really happen on the weekend. This would've been a great opportunity to show out though "take over" would never happen obviously. It sounds like we may take over the Mandalay and Luxor though based on lots of people's comments on where they booked.
Did you go last time? It seemed like we were more that a blip and sounds like this one is going to be bigger.
That's where I'm staying love that place has a rooftop pool which is pretty cool.
There's a local brewery there and they have a jalapeño Hefeweizen and it's really good. I recommend trying that one.
Marriott Grand Chateau appears to not have a resort fee and they list "complimentary valet parking" as an amenity. Brings the price down significantly.
