Sweet. I will give them a call tomorrow and find out about group discounts (i.e. how many people do we need to qualify etc). I am pumped...I have tried to get people to do this with me for the last 2 DefCon's (unsuccessfully)...It will be cool to do it this time around. I will post the info I get from them tomorrow.

Actually...that's on their web page....I did a little more pokin' around.

Is anyone else interested in doing this?

Problem is two guys BASE jumped it once before, and they are probably the last guys to do it. :(

There's plenty to do in Las Vegas that doesn't include booze, gambling, and strippers. You have to have the adventurous and open mind to explore a new town...

Just avoid North Las Vegas... :)

Anyone up for the Blueman show while we are at it? I have been trying to go for the 2 past year...

I'd go for a blueman show... never been, and I've yet to hear anything in the ballpark of negative or even neutral thoughts about them

Count me in on it too.. perhaps after sushifest?
No Big Shot after sushi like last year.. I almost sprayed the whole damn city with half-digested raw fish and sake..

Brilliant show, went last year.

Very musical, not as much of the juggling/stunts as I thought, but very entertaining and very visual.

They do a very good job of getting the audience involved as well (note: don't wear a hat to the show :) )

I'd love to see the BlueMan Show. As for the 230 pound weight limit, how many of the 6,000 Con attendees can make that cut? :D

I was gonna go see blue man group last year, it was like 75 buck a ticket...that was a bit much...i wanted more shirts.

no one mentioned it, but i hear that DEFCON is a pretty fun thing to go see in vegas if you're bored. just a thaught.....

other than that;

-strippers
-gambling (frog slots @ mirrage)
-penn and teller (fuck sigfried and r0y, penn and teller kicks ass)

I haven't seen any good shows probably because I spent all my time at defcon and also being I am not anywhere near the legal drinking age (not that I care). I am going to see some shows this time though.:D

While you're still doing that "DEFCON" thing you talk of, on August 4th, I'll be golfing or gambling ;)

all sounds like fun. I was just watching the movie Swingers on one of the 10 HBOs I have, and they were in Vegas and I was reminded of this forum again.... I just miss the weight cut on that flying thing.... When it comes down to it, I'll probably too hot/exhausted to do anything else.

Sounds good to me. I would throw in $50 to do this. It looks awsome.
