Vegas

[HeGotGame]

Anyone else going?

Figuring out hotel and tickets now.

 

[HooperScooper]

I'm going. Friend of mine lives out there so at least I have a place to stay. Not sure about tickets but we'll figure it out.

Hotels really shouldn't be an issue. If there's any place that can handle an influx of people it's Vegas. There are a ton of rooms there.

Considering Saturday.

ParkMGM and New York New York are right next to T-Mobile Arena. Easy walk. Tropicana is a cheaper Option and also not a bad walk.

I am on a plane to Vegas as we speak for a work conference. Currently booked to fly back to CT on Wednesday night (trip was booked a few weeks ago, so was trying to get back quickly thinking we’d be at MSG on Thursday instead of Vegas).

Hoping to find a decent single ticket for the game on Thursday that isn’t ridiculously expensive so I can “miss my flight” on Wednesday and extend my work trip through Friday!

 

[ValleyGuy]

I booked a trip to head out there a few months ago. UConn playing is icing on the cake. I am looking for two tickets. If anyone has any I’m all ears.

 

[HooperScooper]

Just spoke to my friend who lives out there and he thinks it's going to be a tough ticket because there will be a lot of UCLA fans there. If they lose on Thursday then tickets for Saturday should be really easy to get. I hope UConn is playing on Saturday.

Big fight weekend and the NCAA tourney on the same weekend, hotel ticket prices gotta be nuts

 

[SL Husky]

Lots of UCLA and Gonzaga fans will be there. Demand would have softened a bit if the Zags had lost.

Also, Taylor Swift has shows at Allegiant Stadium on Friday and Saturday, which will drive up hotel prices a bit more than usual.

But, hoping to make it work!

I'd recommend checking out HotelTonight if you're going: Last Minute Hotel Deals in Las Vegas Strip - HotelTonight

Can sometimes find solid deals.

Trying to think who will be the tougher ask for time off to go to Vegas: My wife or my boss

usually easier to change bosses. although when many of us say "let me check with the boss" it's your wife.

Direct flights on Frontier from Hartford were <$200 last I checked. Doesn't work out logistically for me, but figured I'd pass along

 

[HitDog]

Getting out there is no problem but the flights coming back suck.

 

[Rocktheworld]

If I didn’t just take week-long trip to SF and burn through 2k I’d totally be going

Isn’t that redundant?

Stay longer!

 

[jpeakin]

Isn’t that redundant?

Indeed. The only difference is, one signs my check, and the other one spends it.

 

[HitDog]

Stay longer!

That is what one option. But I have to be in at work on early Monday morning, There is a 11:40 flight out Saturday night and we are not sure we can make that so it looks I'll be watching from home.

What about nyc airports

 

[CTBasketball]

I wish this game was Friday, Thursday makes it incredibly hard w/ work and flights from southern Florida aren’t cheap the week of.

Should be able to make that. Remember that's 2:40 am here. None of the regional games will go anywhere near that late. I hate redeyes but every flight we saw coming home was a redeye.

Does anyone know if/when tickets will be available through the university for alumni/donors?
