From Australia to Vegas!

[whats-going-on]

Hey there.. just wanna say thanks to all the helpful people on here. So much info to read, feel like I know the place already. The only problem is when I start reading here I get super keen and want to hijack a plane right now and head over.

I've got a crew (5-7) coming from Perth, Australia (doesn't get any further away than that!) August 22-27. Fortunately that has lined up with an "invasion" so already sorted out some tix for that. Seeing Daniel Tosh @ The Mirage on the 24th which should also be sweet!

Will be keeping an eye out on who's playing there while we're in town (only real thing I see so far is Martin Solveig @ XS on the 23rd). Looking at having a few BIG nights and topping up the rest of the trip with invasion events. Any tips or info on what nights/events are gonna be worthwhile turning into a bender (w/ bottles) during those dates would be appreciated!

Thanks again, a lot of people lurk around here reading your info. It's certainly helpful for us on the other side of the world who have no idea what we're getting into

Hey what's up... We will be there for the invasion as well. A few of us from the June group are heading back for the August invasion as well. If your group wants in on a table or cabana, let me know. We are planning on getting a table @ light, daybed @ liquid, and a cabana for XS nightswim followed by another table Mon night @ XS.

Hey welcome!!! Wow, Perth- that is a lonnnggg trip! :-D this is REALLY making me bummed I'm missing the August Invasion- I love Aussies (marrying one soon-ish!). Hope it's a fun time!

Hey guys, thanks Yeah SFSC looking forward to seeing what the itinerary is for the invasion and will plan other nights aorund it. XS looks sweet and would love to go there. I'm keen to get my fix of trance so sounds like Marquee might be the go one night (or maybe a trip out to Rain?).

Getting in Thursday lunchtime (after about 28 hours of travel) so hopefully the adrenaline kicks in and we push on through Thursday night.

Being an Aussie ex sydney... just try and get some sleep on the flight.. take some sleeping tabs or something... because i found when i did sleep i was right to go when I landed. Make sure you get started straight away and getting some fresh air walk the strip, drink, eat etc... and get into it... then you should be right with the adrenaline to carry you through the evening/early morning

Truth here.
But if your anything like me you wont be able to sleep on that 14-15 hour flight, although when you land youll be so pumped sleep will be the last thing on your mind.

Youll love it mate.
Vegas is like no other place.
Absolutely amazing.

Be sure to check out a nighttime pool party like eclipse

Cheers guys.. yeah definitely will be taking a little something to help "settle things down" a bit.. by the time we board the Melbourne-LA leg its already been 9 hours so I think after a few drinks it'll be lights out.

Adrenaline and red-bull... should work?

[boags]

just remember that you're representing Australia, and there's a reputation to be upheld. You can sleep on the flight back. Go hard or go home

Hahaha, yeah mate... I'm not gonna let anyone down. Promise.

Make sureyou pack some hydralyte tablets too...

You guys are pretty amazing! Lol I'm taking the long flight to Brisbane tomorrow, cannot imagine going out after that! I cannot WAIT to hear about this trip! :-)

[AusVIP]

Tara... we have NOTHING like vegas anywhere in Australia... let alone anywhere close... we just go crazy from the get go! However, there are a few lessons learned on my end... pack sleeping tablets... because you are going to need them to get some rest... i noticed by day 4 i was a little jaundice due to lack of sleep and my liver being heavily toxified. I needed sleep however, adrenaline and the day and night partying made it hard to take time to rest...

Brisvegas is slightly less exciting than Las Vegas Tara! The place won't exactly be pumping midweek...

Thanks for the tips and motivation guys... can't wait

HA! Brisvegas as is definitely much sleepier than Las Vegas...unless there's a rugby game that makes everyone go crazy. :-)

Sleep tablets are definitely a just for the plane ride. I take melatonin and drink a bottle of Srwam Water and usually sleep through the whole way (which is only bad because I have missed my meals a few times). The LA to Australia flight is never as bad as the other way around, though. But it seems like you've got your priorities in order and will be ready to party! Enjoy your trip!!
