Does this also double as his obituary?
Yes...we got them worked outTM- Did these move or still available? Want to make sure folks saw this and it didn't get lost in the wash.
As our resident Vegas expert, any thoughts on The Mob Museum? I know the idea of going to a museum in Vegas is inherently lame, but this place looks really interesting. I'm about 50/50 on whether I can make this trip, but if I can I would like to squeeze this in one morning.One more tip, for those traveling solo or dining solo. Some restaurants only let you make reservations for 2 people. Just do it for 2. I always joke that "my friend overdid it at the tables/pool" and it always gets a chuckle.
And I actually booked today. Casa Playa at Wynn, Ito at Fontainebleau and Prime. Ito looks really cool. It's on the top floor of the hotel and is 12 seat Omakase counter. All these restaurants had a ton of availability at basically any time you would want, so there's no rush to book, I just like booking things.
Same boat, always thought it looked interesting but haven't ever been able to make it.As our resident Vegas expert, any thoughts on The Mob Museum?

The Mob Museum
The Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society. The Museum offers a provocative, contemporary look at these topics through hundreds of artifacts and immersive exhibits.themobmuseum.org

There are enough Syracuse fans out there that no one should have to dine alone.
Unless it's by choice. Which is something I would have never imagined doing until I had kids.
I've never been but heard it's fun. It's not an all day event, but it's supposed to be a good time.As our resident Vegas expert, any thoughts on The Mob Museum?

I love traveling and dining solo. Trips with friends and loved ones is obviously great, but there are a lot of places to see and it's not easy to get people to buy in to the places you want to go.There are enough Syracuse fans out there that no one should have to dine alone.

How was the Garage Mahal at Circa?I went a year or so ago with a few buddies from Alaska. It was pretty cool, I think we were in and out in like an hour, hour and a half. Depends on how much time you spend reading everything. Could prolly spend a few hours in there if you wanted. There were a few side tours you could pay for, and a speakeasy in the basement that I heard is pretty cool.
It's towards the back of Fremont. I think we parked at Circa, walked around a bit then walked to the museum.

There is a SpeakEasy in the basement as well so it's all-in.I went a year or so ago with a few buddies from Alaska. It was pretty cool, I think we were in and out in like an hour, hour and a half.

I usually park in lot a couple over from the Mob Museum to access Freemont. Pizza Rock and Hogs & Heifers is in that same area. Both are worth visits.I went a year or so ago with a few buddies from Alaska. It was pretty cool, I think we were in and out in like an hour, hour and a half.

I'd always heard all of this stuff was cheap. This is our first time going to Vegas and we're likely gonna be around 5 grand all in for basically 3 days. Probably will never return though so trying to enjoy itI can't believe I haven't been to Vegas since they started the paid parking. They used to all be free since you were there to gamble of course and some were just a little easier to get in and out of than others. Guess its been quite a while at this point. Hard to believe how ridiculously cheap it was to fly, rent a car, and stay in nice hotels a decade ago and stay indefinitely. And alcohol was zero apart from tips if you liked to bet sports.
Surprised how expensive all the concert and show tickets are there are so many options and they all play big arenas. Nightclubs with DJs actually look reasonable funny as that is. You can go to Zouk and have unlimited free drinks for 3 hours 10pm-1am I think its Kaskade and then Tiesto that weekend. The big DJs probably don't go on until after that though. Gonna need to find some 'reinforcements' to make it there after our game Friday lol.

Same here. My daughter and I are trying to put together a long weekend trip {Thurs-Sun}. Looking at $600-$700 a piece for flight and hotel plus game tix, food, a little gambling, and any touristy stuff we want to do. Will be worth it though. Haven't travelled with my daughter in a while, so we'll have fun. Saturday will suck, though, if we lose.I'd always heard all of this stuff was cheap.

$5k YIKES! 2nd to 8th, including flights, game, hotel, and transfers is about $1200 for me. and that doesn't include my brother who has to split the hotel which is about $450 on his part. The hotel itself was 1200 but is now like 850 since I kept rebooking/cancelling from then till July... I Think they caught on as I can't do it anymore. I'm staying at the Luxor though and got in back early when it was announced along with the flights... They keep changing the schedule for the flights of late too, but I take advantage of changing the flight and the cost is for free within reason and still getting there on the same time... United did it 5 times and found they couldn't win on it and gave up for my return trip. I even got to now select my seats as my class got upgraded at no cost! JetBlue did it recently too when I was supposed to be there at 11:45 out of Syracuse-Boston-Vegas, well I Got the Syr-JFK-Vegas now and it 12:45. Happy with that, just more time for airport bars. And I couldn't hotel check in technically until 3pm, but I know the room is always ready by noon anyhow.Same here. My daughter and I are trying to put together a long weekend trip {Thurs-Sun}.

I can’t believe I’m missing this trip. You guys are so lucky and I hope after the game this thread turns into all the vegas stories and game stories that we would all enjoy. I don’t want to hear “what happens in vegas stays in vegas”. NO. Tell me the stories lol
Sorry you are missing it... I saw a few interviews and mobile items today about predictions... Jim thinks we are going to be 10 wins.. I think so too but, I'm thinking 9ish.. .Some think we are going to UNLV and maybe for a loss... But from what I seen from fan response we are the ones that maybe bringing the loudhouse to UNLV for this game and @ this time. So third down when SU offence is on the edge I say we all bring it. We are going to have an SU popULATION like no other and we should use it. Not from just from a tailgate but from all of them and all at once in the stadium. I don't know what the stats are but I know this is a pretty big away game for all SU fans, and there might be more orange than dust in that stadium for the game.I can’t believe I’m missing this trip.
