Flying solo 8th May - 28th May

[Carl]

I decided I needed a break so where better to spend my time......

The only solid details at the moment is my hotel list and the two jackify bracelets, one for the May invasion.

Cosmopolitan Check-in 8th May, Check-out 16th May
MGM Signature Check-in 16th May, Checkout 20th May
Encore Check-in 20th May, Checkout 26th May
Cosmopolitan Check-in 26th May, Check-out 28th May

I don't know how to approach MDW this year, the line-ups don't seem as Kamikazi as past years. (e.g. RedFoo@TaoBeach 2011) so I might just go GA for the nightclubs and look to split on the day-beds.

Anyway, drop me a line for possible day-bed/bottle splits.

wow- that's a lot of party!
1. write a trip report- you will probably experience most every place in town a few times
2. I hope you can make your bankroll last that long with so many temptations in vegas-

With the hotels you mentioned sounds like your dropping a lot of cash-
I will just mention two tips in case you start needing to conserve money-
1. Looks like the resort fees alone on your trip are going to be about $600- just did a quick search on kayak.com you could go low end for like $875 all in for the 20 days
2. also would probably make friends with vipforfree guy because your just entry fees could easily be in the thousands. say $50-60 x 20 or 30 events.

Thanks for the advice, I have decided to go with a flexible hotel plan so if things get outta hand I can always step it down a notch or two.

Who is the vipforfree guy ?

Trip report thread will be incoming.

[Carl]

Some highlights so far:

- Morgan Page @ EBC, really good DJ
- XS was able to dance on the table booth seats, well done on that policy
- Grand Cabana at Marquee, really well designed and thought out, actually Marquee day club in general is really well designed but has some fatal flaws which I will write about in trip report
- Carnival Court, crazy place, I doubt I will be able to write about it in my trip report
- Canadian's

Some lowlights so far:

- Diplo @ XS, played too hard and did not mix it up. You might as well just play proper techno rather than sitting on the fence
- Diplo @ XS, they closed the outside area and crammed everyone into the main room, which caused overcrowding
- I keep losing things not attached to my body. Havana Hat and Waterproof case have been the two casualties

You just became my hero, man how I wish I could just do three weeks Vegas. Probably would need another four weeks to come back down from it lol but that would be so worth it. Looking forward to that trip report in a few weeks.

I just came back from 10 days out there myself(TR to follow) I couldn't imagine 20 days, I love Vegas but I gotta admit it gets repetitive after a bit I had a good time for sure but yeah 20 days the budget balloons crazy it sneaks up on you just how much you spent when you get back and do the addition. I had a great time for sure but DEFINITELY take advantage of the forums and the contacts on it, if I hadn't I don't even want to know how much more i would have spent.

Cant wait to read the TR!!!

Just some notes for my trip report:

Monday - Bare daybed
Tuesday - 1Oak Dancefloor table
Wednesday - Liquid Cabana, Marquee Cabana (x2), Light 2nd floor table - one of the best days I can remember

Highlights

- 1Oak, a real surprise on the list, DJ was great, club was stacked.
- A big thanks to Chrisbru and the Iowa boys
- A big thanks to Issac/Noah.
- I can't believe how crazy Bare gets.
- The club layout of Light for table service and the staff in general, especially the security, tight but polite.

Lowlights

- The club layout of Light for everyone else and my word, the queue for guest-list and tickets, I could not see the end of the line it was that big. Not looking forward to tackling that for Carl Cox on MDW.
