Ed, did you check and see if we could chase a wild "Goat"??? [}:D]
|
|
Maybe we could we get a roll call on who's going to be there and set up an afterhour social. For those who have not been to the Shot Show and want to see it all; you [b]will need[/b] all four days. I will be taking Sunday afternoon off to watch the Superbowl, which will be cutting into my time at the show. Perhaps we could set up a Superbowl party somewhere, with "Hello my name is..." tags and all.

I plan on being at the show most of the time but this sounds interesting enough to make some time for!
|
|
You guys are making me so damn depressed! I just found out there is a fun show on the the Riviera hotel going on during SHOT show too.
|
|
NSFJoJo and I will be at SHOT Show. I went to the subgun class back in Dec so I won't be going again, but I'd love to meet some of you guys in Vegas!
|
|
I'll be at the SHOT Show, If possible I'd like to break away for a day and meet up with you guys. The free SubGun course sounds SWEET!

Ed and I will be hitting the subgun course I believe on Sunday. I'm real excited to visit with Frontsight since they've been a great supporter and are known to run extremely kick ass courses!!!
This is my first trip to the Shot Show as well, but I don't mind sacrificing time walking around in awe to blow some stuff apart in awe. [=D] [=D] [=D] Would be nice for all of us to hit the course and then meet up for a SuperBowl hangout and dinner!!! (Go Rams!!!) |
|
Make sure you fill out and fax the application from Frontsight's web site. The course is offered Saturday and Sunday; we'll be there Sunday so we don't miss the first day of the SHOT Show.
See you all there! |
|
I so want to go but don't know about missing a whole day of the shot show.
I'm under 25 so I might have trouble getting a rental car but would be happy to pitch in if anyone else is going. Ms. CounterStrike and I are interested in going on Saunday. |
|
My 25th birthday is on the 3rd. Does anybody want to give me a flight to LV for a present? [:D]

If there is enough people who want to commit we could reserve a place somewhere. We get there Friday so we are open but, I think either a Saturday night or a Superbowl party somewhere would be great. I know a place off the strip that is great especially if you are a Jimmy Buffett fan. The owner puts on a comedy show on Friday and Saturday nights that are outstanding! [url]www.tommyrocker.com[/url] Where is everybody staying? Stokes, The Mall Ninja, and I are staying at Circus Circus. Let me know if the interest is there and how many are going and maybe we can set it up.

|
Quoted: Where is everybody staying? . View Quote At a house in Summerlin. Hotels are to $$$ on convention weekends. |
|
Circus Circus sounds about right. It seems like that's where I'm staying too...
|
|
Everyone wear some AR15.Com stuff on Saturday to the show so we can more easily spot each other and meet up!
As for Sunday, lets line up a place to watch the game and lets plan the gathering!!!! |
|
Looks like Circus Circus is the early favorite. I have emailed the Tommy Rockers to see if we could reserve a spot. Sure like to know about how many are going to be there.
|

Wife and I stayed a few days at Circus Circus a few years ago...
Very nice place and everything you need is there in the hotel... Fancy steak house, shoppes, and small amusement park... (Rooms are cheap too) Our room window was right across from a bunji jumping place... I was even more convinced it was something I NEVER wanted to try... TV only shows people jump, then shows them getting out of the gear... I got to watch them bounce 100+ feet in the air a dozen+ times till they finally slowed enough to get down... Oh, by the way... We got married at Circus Circus in the chapel downstairs [:D] |
|
Of course Circus Circus seems to be the favorite. I always knew you guys were a bunch of clowns......[;D]

If you haven't been to SHOT show before, it will take AT LEAST 2 whole days to go through the whole thing. Don't forget to hit the big revolving brochure stands in the convention center lobby and the New Product Showcase in the back.

Walk across the street, whatever, the inconvenience is not worth your life! The Ginseng Korean BBQ, across from the Stardust, has a nice all-you-can-eat sushi deal, BTW. (One hour max, limited selection -- but there's a lot of sushi within that limit!) |

For those of you new to visiting Las Vegas I will tell you a few must see hotels while in town
1. Mandalay Bay 2. Venetian 3. Paris 4. Bellagio 5. Luxor 6. MGM 7. Treasure Island 8. New York-New York 9. Ceasars Palace 10. Mirage If possible take a cab around and see some or all of these hotels, lot of people come to Vegas and think Circus Circus and the Sahara are the "nice" hotels....hell the Bellagio cost 1.6 BILLION yes BILLION to build, take a cab and check it out, or walk around and see the strip and take a cab back to your room, the south end of the strip is amazing! P.S. If you have kids don't try and go to Bellagio, unless your staying there they won't let kids in :) |

I faxed my application in today, do they notify us somehow that they've received it?

Anyone going from Circus Circus to FS Academy on Sunday? I'd like to tag along with someone for the Frontsight class, especially if you're headed to the SB party afterwards-The rest of the days, I'll be at the SHOT show with Cavalry Arms. Let me know if your car/whatever you're taking to FS will hold one more.

I'm in the same boat as you Juggernaut, I'll be at circus circus and need a ride to frontsite. Being under 25 I don't want to get raped on a rental but would be willing to help pay if we could carpool with someone.

I've already done the SMG class at Frontsight so I can't do that but I would like to see the Shot show. Anyone have any spare passes? Maybe 2. Please!
Thanks, Dave |

Good to see all of you guys coming out this weekend! I'll be one of the instructors for the Free SMG Class, so I will see you all there.
