So I called my buddy in Cali about a month ago to let him know that I'd be making it to Vegas for the New Years bash and wanted to know if he'd be around. He called me last night and asked what my plans were. When I finished he said well that sounds like a good time, too bad you wont be doing any of that. /wwwthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

He then proceeded to tell me, I've got two nights on top the Bellagio in a suite, food, drinks and dancers included. Damn it, and I had tickets to the Blue Man Group :rolling:

Lucky, I would love to stay in the Bellagio. But give me a ring while your here, I would love to meet you. I have New Years Eve day off.

 

[qqqqqqqman]

I'll be in Vegas with a buddy the 30th/31st/1st also....send for me if you get too much to handle! :wink:

 

[borg]

I'll send for both of you if I can...but I've heard beautiful rumors about BoomBoom, so she might get first dibs. :grin:

 

[boomboom]

:wink:

Always good for something aren't they? :wink:

 

[Tramp4life]

I also have New Years off...and, I'd LOVE to meet you guys and the dancers. If you have room for 1 Tramp, I'll be there...

EDIT: BTW, I won't need a place to crash. I have a house in Vegas and I'm moving in NEXT WEEK!

 

[XDUCRACER]

I just moved here last month, The Bellagio is really nice! Have a great time!!

 

[borg]

Thanks XDUC, I think I'll have a great time. For one just being there and two, seeing my buddies over the break.

:808918-ot: but, I've always wondered about when people say they've moved to Vegas, where are all the houses compared to the strip? It's hard to know where you're at when you've only been to the strip.

 

[XDUCRACER]

Well, I can t speak for anyone else, but I live 7 miles from the strip in Henderson...and work 2 minutes from the strip in Vegas. Houses are plentiful, but EXPENSIVE!

 

[Gruneun]

Why is that? Don't get me wrong, cause I love Vegas (married at the Bellagio and heading out on the 27th), but why is housing so damn expensive? It's not like there's a shortage of land out there.

 

[qqqqqqqman]

Gruneum...it's the old "supply and demand" issue. I wondered to my mom, who lives out there, the same thing. She said the population growth is way faster than they're building. There have been a bunch of developments that sprung up, but the huge demand has caused new pricing to rise and lift all the older homes, too. I never would've thought the Nevada desert would see a significant real estate boom. :shocked:

What is expensive? I live in LA and housing here is bonkers!?!?! Friend just bought a 1200 square foot house 2 bedroom 2 bath for $525,000.

 

[Tramp4life]

I moved out to Sunrise Manor...it's about 10 minutes from Nellis (whoo-hoo). Good area, great views...20 min from the Strip.
Is there a strip in Henderson...

I am still trying to figure that one out myself...the old supply and demand I would suspect though.

:lol2: Never hurts to be honest. Can't make any promises cuz I didn't throw down the money for the room. However, I'm all down for meeting up with anyone while I'm there. Oh and I'm only staying one night at the Bellagio, the other nights will be at some cheap place that my other buddy got for us.
