WOV SPRING FLING May 11 2019-- PLANNING THREAD
Quote: GWAEI agree, let's get back to axel now owing me 4 beers and 2 shots for causing life altering anxiety.
Sounds like a $10 date at Stage Door.
Bob will tell you who you should use in that area and let you know if you even have a good case or not. At least he does for me. He can also advise on the case as well.Quote: darkozPass
I am actually finding an attorney for my next case difficult.
They want million dollar suits where I suffered brain trauma or amputation.
There is no East Coast Bob N.
And Bob N. Is not licensed in the state I need representation
Without a credit card how do you rent c... NVM you don't drive. It's a pain in the ass to rent a car in some places without a CC. .
Whats the Stage Door? I hear he likes the Green Door and he really loves Play It Again Sam's.Quote: BozSounds like a $10 date at Stage Door.

It’s the bratwurst joint over there on flamingo. Between Tuscany and the flamingo or Cromwell.

Inwould expect him to use the 3 free drinks at Ellis in LVA
Why dont you go to Ellis' craps table. Check change of $100. Watch the game and order a tall draft. Tip the waitress $1. repeat 4 times. Cost is $4, Bet $22 inside. Make $7. Net profit $3Quote: GWAEInwould expect him to use the 3 free drinks at Ellis in LVA
Quote: DocDon't ya love it when someone concludes that betting $22 inside means that you will make $7?
Yeah not sure why he wouldn't bet 2222 and make 700
I seen you made it though Easter Day without having a nervous break down. $%^&'en RS_ felt bad for you and thought you might not make it.Quote: GWAE
Anyways, how was your Easter? Do you guys take the kids to church?
Quote: GWAEYeah not sure why he wouldn't bet 2222 and make 700
According to the original logic, that would only require $2200, a benefit of an additional $22? Maybe you've found the secret.
I don't owe him any beer just because I triggered hisQuote: speedycrapWow Just a suggestion to cover the beer
OCTPD. If anything, he owes me for bringing it to light so he can get the help he needs.
So Zen King should thank you a lot. I mean a lot.Quote: AxelWolfI don't owe him any beer just because I triggered his

TP? Trip planning?
Until you get a real job you will never understand the need to be a planner. Whenever I only get a few days away each year I need to make sure that I get the most out of it.
Your head would have exploded the year that we drove from Pittsburgh, to Cincy, to memphis, to tunica, to nashville, to morgantown, back home in 4 days.
I know PG understands this need to plan.

I take offense since I usually have AP plans in the works up to a year in advance.
Otoh I come from the film making business where you better plan ahead.

Quote: billryanPlans are for wimps. They rarely last past the first good blow anyway. Real men improvise.
Nothing wrong with improv. Its still a requirement
But no planning?
With a large crew those wimps who dont plan dont get it done

How large was the crew that took you down? As a Wiseman once said- Life is what happens while you are busy making plans.
I am a terrible procrastinator, especially when making travel plans. I give myself four or five days to drive somewhere and usually don't have a clue where I'm staying until I'm there. That night I'll see where I am, and look at maps to see what's up ahead. Traveling with a large dog is not nearly the headache it was just a few years ago so planning is much easier.
I can see how not having a car or licence would make someone want to book his bus tickets a year out.Quote: darkozI take offense since I usually have AP plans in the works up to a year in advance.

I think you are missing the point.
Like any military operation will tell you there needs to be a plan but expect things to go awry.
That doesn't mean chuck all planning and just wing it.
But if it works for you go for it.

I am just the opposite. I spend hundreds of hours planning trips. Next month I am going oversees for a trip that I booked about a year ago.

Watch out since you are going oversees!
The WOV typo police might nab you before you leave

I honestly don't know how people can do anything without having it planned. Maybe a difference between type A and B people.
GWAE spends 100's of hours planning and stressing about just one little trip to LV, a place where he has been many times already.Quote: DRichI am just the opposite. I spend hundreds of hours planning trips. Next month I am going oversees for a trip that I booked about a year ago.
I have to catch a plane in a few hours and I haven't even started packing yet. I only kinda know what airline, I think it starts win an S, or maybe it's Delta, and the approximate time the flight leaves. I won't even guess what car rental company I used. I will look it up when get out of the airport. Hopefully my phone won't die since it's probably only half charged. Not even sure where its at.
Oh dang, where are my keys and wallet????? I still don't know if I want to take an Uber to airport, have my Wife drive me, or take the car. Can't think, I didnt get to bed until 7 am and got up at 9:45.
I might take a quick snooze then Ill get up and spring onto action around the time I think would be good.
I bet GAWE is getting triggered just thinking about all that.
Quote: beachbumbabsOk. I'm coming out for Spring Fling. Arriving Thurs evening, departing Sunday night late. Up for whatever is happening Fri-Sat-Sun. See you all soon!
Awesome....let me know what size "TRUMP is GOAT" shirt you will need for the planned rally.😀

Seek out and destroy the enemy. Annihilate his troops and reduce his ability to wage war. Be resolute in defeat and magnanimous in victory.
There are many roads to success. Mine isn't the only one. It's just the one I follow.

It sounds like you're planning anyway
You are just planning not to plan

She figures you just pull a white sheet out of the closet for the rally.
I’m kidding Babs*
*She also thinks you need a cross, gas can and a lighter.

Are you sure you are not missing opportunities by not flying the same Airline and using the same Car Rental company for all your travel?
I know you have to look at cost vs benefits but add in a branded CC and you might be missing some savings.
The major airlines can get you almost anywhere from LAS with 1 stop max.
Just a suggestion.

so heres the thing. I would gladly do an unplanned trip if I had a bunch of money and extra time. I am guessing that your trip is basically I need to get there between x-x and your planning or lack of fits that.
I need to make plans to get free hotel and cheap flights or we couldnt manage to even come. I need to find the myvegas coupons and other bogo coupons to even have extra money for gambling. If I had 5k available for this trip then I would gladly have just booked the best flight and wouldnt think twice about the meals that I am going to have.
As was just mentioned if you planned better you could have some good car perks and possibly more free flights. For us low rollers that is a big deal. Maybe for you ballers, not so much.
Got here with time to spare and even check out a few Aladdin's.
---------------------------
The same airlines wasn't a good fit for me this trip. I haven't seen any savings using the same car rental companies. I'm sure there's probably other ways I could be saving money on flights and car rentals.
FYI in case there was a misunderstanding. I booked this trip about a week ago. I was just saying I didn't really do any preparing before I got up today.
1. I don't know anything about them, so I'm looking at reviews. Ideas welcome.
2. There's a lot crammed into Saturday already, so does Sunday or Friday work for those interested?
3. Escapology has the best reviews in LV from TA. It's East of the North Strip, Sahara and Maryland. It seems to be $30-40/person. They're a little vague on price. They have a choice of 10 adventures. But individual game rooms limited to 8 people. Hours 10a-10p.

I believe escapeology has a travelzoo right now. it was something like $140 for 8 people
We dont get in until 10pm on friday so we are out for friday unless it was like a midnight one.
There are a couple open that late but may be too late for some. Sunday we have plans to sit by the pool so we could do it but not until afternoon. Friday probably makes the most sense for everyone that wants to do it. If you can arrange it ahead of time that travelzoo is good value. See axel, a little planning can save enough for at least 3 bottles of alcohol

I just went to Escapology 2 weeks ago. It was fun. They are in Groupon, and it will only run you about $14 or so. Very worthwhile at that price. The full price was about $30-$35 or so.
Planning?? THERE WILL BE NONE OF THAT!!Quote: GWAEI believe escapeology has a travelzoo right now. it was something like $140 for 8 people

Quote: billryanAny plans for Friday night?

Quote: PokerGrinderAre you excited? I can’t tell lol
When you have kids you will understand.

Wow you just reminded me I didnt book a room for the California part of the trip. Need a room near Knottsberry farm
For example, I know there's a Saturday lunch at Pizza Rock, but what time does it start?
