Lul still, Im requesting the haunted rooms......Maybe I can get an even LOWER rate

Go get em, buddy! Leave no prisoners!!!!

I am also at least 47% drunk after celebrating our KS!!

w00t!!

I stayed at Bally's a couple of days ago and it was my favorite hotel of the 4 I stayed at.

A few notes: Do not order the nachos at the Mexican restaurant if you are by yourself. It comes on a giant platter and I only got 25% in before I had to tap out.

Also they had a breakfast buffet that was ok, but it was only $12 (which is low for Vegas these days).

This may be a stupid question, but buying tickets for side events? Like lets say i get some free time and want to do the Zombie or beerhammer? Will tickets be sold there for that stuff?

@Blackmoor

Good tips, thanks!

@Hotsauce

Yes, we anticipate a lot of folks will be buying side event tickets on the fly and we will be able to accommodate that.

Thanks.

Just bought my plane ticket!!!!!1111

My wallet isn't happy about it, but I sure as hell am! See everyone down there!

I will be in vegas for this, and I want to attend the zombie mini game,

anyone know how strict the time line is? my flight wont touch down till 20 min before the min-zombie game starts, if I just want to have fun and play and dont care about winning/points do you see an issue with maybe arriving a few minutes late for the mini game?

@Hippesthippo

Awesome! See you there, buddy!

@Easysauce

You shoul dbe good to go, the Zombie Game is very laid back and "beer and Pretzels" style. You can jump in and have fun without being there from the start.

@Thread

The group rate on the rooms only lasts until January 8th! Don't wait to get those rooms.

History lesson Time. in the 80s Ballys was the MGM grand, due to poor fire regulations a fire started and those on the top floors could not leave, killing them. The land was torn down and Ballys was built. Supposedly there are ghost on the 18+ floors, you can see them fade in and out of walls, hear moaning from rooms, and apprently electrical stuff.

Here is my person encounter. I went alone on this trip so i got the room all to myself. make the long story shot. I was suppose to be there for Conquest but got cancel last min so i change some stuff around and went there for fun.

1) I smell smoke at night. is a background smell so you can't tell what kind of smoke.

2) I was watching Lock Up on msnbc and drafting in/out and saw someone ran to the window and jump off. he/she pay no attention to me.

I chat with a staff after and he said that happen but they don't talk about it . he said if I want to change room just ask the front desk. it happen so often that the front desk knows what going on and they will not ask me why. The story goes is that 18+ is haunted 23 is the most haunted. North Tower only. He got a lot of stories on what guests encounter. O btw they never rebuild it they just remodel it and put more building and stuff.

Supposedly only some people can actually see ghosts so it's not like everyone would have the same experience.

Supposedly Ghosts are/are not real so ymmv

Also with the copious amounts of legal, and illegal, substances being used in Vegas I am not surprised people hallucinate people jumping out of windows.

Ghostbusters beg to differ.

I hope to get slimed while in Vegas and/or do battle with the Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man.

Just don't get so wasted you forget the proper response to "Are you a god?"

SAY YES!

You say "No, but im friends with the devil"

Alright got my event tickets purchased and my room booked. Great way to start the new year; now to figure out if I want to fly or just make a road trip of it.

Awesome, see you there Panzer Leader!

@OverwatchCNC

last time i check the website. LVO has shopping trip, spa, walking tour. It is Vegas so there are always Hover Dam and Canyon tour. haha, I don't work for Reecius so I can say there are also Bunny Ranch !!!. for swinging couple: Green Room just on the North of the strip is nice.

@Whembly

Finally got my tickets! See everyone there.

BTW, if I don't make it to the Finals on Sunday, I will be sorely disappointed.

Expect some awesome batreps to come!



BTW, no wife on this trip so I expect to be drunk like a skunk. Hey, if I could study for finals drunk, I bet I can sure as heck play 40K drunk....hmmm, maybe I ought to sign up for beerhammer as well....


BTW, too bad I can't do the Championships and Apoc at the same time. Otherwise, I'd probably have to try to find a way to take this bad boy along.

@Hotsauceman1

Awesome! Keno is stoked to go eat some prime rib, too!

@Jim

I expect you to make the finals!
