Fremont street is where i do most of my gambling just because the tables on the strip can get outrageous on the weekends. If you're going to gamble on the strip do it during the day.
*** OFFICIAL GUIDE TO VEGAS FOR UNLV 9/18 ***
- Thread starter ISUCyclones2015
- Start date
I got almost everything at half price kiosks around town, but you can always ask the hotel concierge. Trust me. There are enough people that make it as easy as possible to spend your money.
I wonder if the Stratosphere is still a total dump? Saw meth heads get off on the top floor of the parking ramp thinking it was the casino floor.
We were on city rules. No one in the elevator with us. Head on a swivel. Hand on the wallet. Even hit the valet because of the parking lot issue.....only to see a limo driver and a bum fight in the intersection at 4 am when we were leaving town. Surprised I didn't see a death that day.
Vegas.....love that place.
Looking forward to your comprehensive report! You've created high expectations for your contributions related to the Vegas trip!
That will be tough to do on unlv weekend. Fremont street has a huge music festival going on that weekend. Not going to be easy to even get around

Will you be throwing a Cyclone Tailgate in Vegas?
I've been thinking about it. Hard to imagine many times when groups of fans will want to get together. Shows and gambling run late. No one gets up early.
Maybe have a bunch of Cyclone Fanatics in the background for C-Dubs as he does the Sports Fanatics show on Friday afternoon from a Sportsbook.
- Drinking games ("Chris just said 'Daddy Like,' drink," "Chris just mentioned something poop-related, drink.")
- Sports Fanatics Bingo ("Ross gives the Cyclones a back-handed compliment," "Comparison of Vegas to Field of Dreams," "Somebody mentions T.J. and UNLV," etc.)
- Prop bets ("number of times Z stumps them with the bumper music").
If you decide to I've got 6 interested in getting together in my group. Would throw some money your way too
If we do it, I would hope that we could get a Sportsbook to treat us well.
@ISUCyclones2015 might try to get us to rent some poolside cabanas, but unlike him, I prefer to keep my clothes on!
Resorts world, first New casino on the strip in over a decade. Just opened a couple months ago. Go check it out guy. It's on the level of aria.
There will likely be an official one held by MGM resorts in the parking lot of Luxor. Though it’s more like a pay to buy beer and food than bring it own stuff

Just wanted to pop in this thread and say how jealous I am of you, that should be a really fun weekend.
Also, we saw a Cirque show ( Mystére ) last time my wife and I were there, it was pretty good.
I look forward to reading 2015's suggestions and also to reading how everyone's weekend went after this is all over. Just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas, it gets posted on CycloneFanatic so old farts like me can live vicariously.

Is the MGM one likely to be worth it? For instance, will it include ISU celebrities and fun things that are unique to us. Not like the lame things put on in the mornings before bowl games by the venues!
It was awesome in Arlington last year to have an entire bar going all-in for us. Wait staff, TV’s, DJ, banners, etc.
I think it's gonna be far closer to the lame ones put on during Bowl games by the venue/partners. Jamie Pollard came out and said there wouldn't be any official ISU events so I wouldn't expect any Cyclone celebrities and the like.
Here is a rendering plus a small pic of what it was like for the preseason game. Hoping more info comes out as they figure it out during the preseason games and the Monday night game.
Haven't seen real prices but a buffet and unlimited drinks are gonna be $99
At $12 a beer $99 for unlimited with food is not badI think it's gonna be far closer to the lame ones put on during Bowl games by the venue/partners. Jamie Pollard came out and said there wouldn't be any official ISU events so I wouldn't expect any Cyclone celebrities and the like.

I do all my gambling at the El Cortez downtown. It’s NEVER been crowded when I have been there, and I doubt this weekend is any different. The place is actually a couple blocks off Fremont Street. It’s one of the few casinos in the city where you can still play $5 blackjack AND get paid 3 or 2 when you get backjack. DO NOT play at a table that pays 6 to 5 for a blackjack. It’s a total rip off.
Is there a link for this event?I think it's gonna be far closer to the lame ones put on during Bowl games by the venue/partners. Jamie Pollard came out and said there wouldn't be any official ISU events so I wouldn't expect any Cyclone celebrities and the like.
