Stuff you are planning to do in Vegas before or after DC15...

Re: Stuff you are planning to do in Vegas before or after DC15...

Talking of the Attik does anyone recommend any other nightclubs in Vegas that are worth a visit.

Clubs with large ammounts of gothic ladies would be a plus. However any nightclubs that don't catch fire after I visit them would be even better.

Attik is okish, depending on who is DJ/spining. The attendance is sparce with it being a Monday night, and most in the scene are service industry folk. Keep reading for more...

Krave (the only major on-strip gay/alternative club) has a goth night on fridays, but you'll probably be too busy with con stuff that night, unless you can convince a group to go. I've never been myself, maybe hackajar or someone else knows what's up with the scene there.

You can skip the so called 'goth' night - the venue & such has taken a serious downturn in the last year. Good luck finding those goth gals, the real ones are hard to find in Vegas - the ones you do come across are the goth-in-a-box types. For the most part, Vegas attracts a certain genre of people – this is not one of them. We do not have the scenes like Seattle, DC, or Denver – different sort of town, people, and expectations. If you want, track me down at DEFCON and I can fill you in on the details – not something I can really post here.

Full disclosure: I used to be involved with the Friday night event at Krave. Due to unprofessionalism of the others involved, and my work putting me on the night shift I am no longer involved. Thankfully.

This is my first post.. so I hope not to sound like a noob.

There is a Godsmack concert at the Palms on the 3rd just in case anyone needed any other ideas...

Really? Psst: https://forum.defcon.org/showthread.php?t=8590

Good luck getting tickets for that venue: some monkeyshines going on with tix sales.

Re: Stuff you are planning to do in Vegas before or after DC15...

Um, I need someone to take care of me as I plan on being wasted sometime between the Toxis BBQ, Hooch Wars, and the ahh..wait its coming to me.. the...ahh...crap what was it the e..oh yea...THE EFF Fundraiser!!!

After that I usually black out.

I'm getting in either tuesday or thursday; will decide in a couple of days; and leave the friday after con. If I get in tuesday I'll do Quark's and Sushicon. I've got front row seats for Penn and Teller monday, also plan to take in the TBBQ and Atomic Testing museum. Will leave the Rio for downtown tuesday and do some gambling the next few days. Hopefully I'll get to spend more time with the friends I've made over the last 5 years I've been doing this.

Re: Stuff you are planning to do in Vegas before or after DC15...

LVSD got back with me this AM. Below is what they said for anyone interested in jumping:

Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the slight delay in responding. It seems our spam filter got a little of control. Anyway, we do offer group rates. For you group of 4-5 we can offer an additional $10 off our currently discounted rates (already $50 off) plus additional video package discounts if your group is interested in those. The discounts could total up to an additional $40 off per person. Also, we're now doing the 3 Mile Skydive 7 days a week for the same price as the 2 Mile Skydive because of our large turbine engine airplane (Caravan) that can take you all the way up to 15,000' and can carry up to 7 tandem jumpers at a time!! We're the only skydiving center in Nevada that can do that!! We recommend that you book sooner rather than later to ensure you reserve the day and time you want and the morning time is the best. You can book over the phone or online by going back to our website at www.skydivelasvegas.com and clicking on the "Reservations" link. Let us know if you have any other questions. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

There are others in the area too, but they all seem to be good so....

Isn't that where one our members added to their sig:
"Never try to drink something larger than your head." ?

Dude, you've got it all wrong. It was "If it's not larger than your head, it's not worth drinking."

As for Quark's, I should be around on our same BatTime for our same BatChannel, but I don't know yet what the new gig has in store for me. So with this in mind, I'm sad to say I can't really do much but show up (if and when they let me off my leash).

The revisited would reference the Quark's time from a few years ago. After consuming multiple Warp Cores, a dozen of us went through the Star Trek ride. A once in a lifetime experience that is worth trying to reproduce.

3 Warp Core Breech? Could anyone keep down that much alcohol? If not, then I think I know of what the "Revisited" part of the title refers.

As for, "Quark's," I think you'd have to check with OP. She is around from time to time.

Getting into town on Monday night and staying through the following Tuesday. Only hard plans are the Toxic on Thursday. But you know me, I'm down for anything people want to do ... (Anyone for the Star Trek ride revisited [3 warp core req'd for entry]?)

No word from them yet. I guess it doesnt really matter anyway. The only problem I see at this point is going to be scheduling, but most have said jumping the first day before Toxic BBQ is the way to go. Only problem with that is my damn flight doesnt arrive until 1:45pm LV time. I will have to see what times are available to jump. We can also look into a few other jump companies too I guess.

Either way, I want to try and nail something down in the next two weeks so everyone knows what the deal is.

PS Keep us posted on the dcjump email....I just figured if it was already an event why double up. If not, we should get our own going and official. Who says Geeks aren't F'ing crazy! haha.

Re: Stuff you are planning to do in Vegas before or after DC15...

Myself and D4rknrg are doing the jump before the Toxic BBQ.

It's better to do it before the con rather than after it.
