OT: Las Vegas Hosts the NFL Draft

[MSGRET]

An estimated 600,000 people will be in town town to watch the NFL Draft, be it at the fountains at the Bellagio, the watch parties at almost every casino in the Vegas Valley or even have fun at the NFL Experience area. The hotels are charging anywhere from $350.00 up to over $5,000.00 a night depending on where they are staying. While any private jets that are coming to Las Vegas they must make reservations for a parking slot or either land and then depart LAS and park the plane elsewhere.

The draft itself is happening on the man made lake in front of the Bellagio where the Strip will basically be closed down to regular traffic so the fans can see the draft in person if they so choose or they could watch from the hotels who are having watch parties, some are free while some are charging fees to see it on the big screens.

They expect millions of dollars to be spent over the next four to five days and even I would like to be a part of it, I'll pass because just trying to get to the Strip will be more of a hassle then what it's worth, I might go to my favorite casino and be a part of the VIP party they are hosting, it all depends on how I feel about it tomorrow night.

Philly hosted the Draft in 2017. It was a couple of days of chaos.
Bars made a fortune. Find a private party. Stay away from the crowd.

The VIP party is kind of private, at most a couple hundred. Last year it was between one and two hundred. The finger food and drinks were free and very good.

My son has been in Vegas since Monday afternoon. He's there to take real estate agents' advanced classes to maintain his RE license. I asked him if he was attending the draft. He said no. He’s staying as far away from the strip as possible. He’s a lifetime Raider fan. He and his wife went to 3 games last year. Las Vegas is the place to be this weekend if you're a NFL fan. I’m a fan, but I’ll watch it on TV.

Is he licensed here in NV and is he taking his required RE certification (CE) classes.

No, just California.

What’s your favorite casino??

What’s your favorite casino??

On the Strip, it's the Bellagio, off the Strip is Stations, either the Red Rock or Santa Fe Casinos.

 

[JeannoCT]

We like the Station casinos. In general, we avoid the strip, but do go to Bellagio, and sometimes Caesar's.

Well, by all accounts, Jets and Giant's acquitted themselves quite well
