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

Yeah, it does look cool. I checked into some of the other places in the area, but Sky Dive Las Vegas looks like the best place.

Haha. No doubt! I am guessing we couldn't go straight from the Toxic BBQ to the plane!

I am going to keep looking into it, but I really want to do the jump. Opportunity Opportunity peeps.

I went to the blueman group last year, it was badass and definitely worth it.
My seats were high up in back, close to the end I had a blueman standing on the arms of my chair and my face live on the bigscreen. was crazy.

The 15,000 FT tandem jump is what interests me, I say I want to do it every year.
How often to you see something that says "reasons to jump" :D

It states you are required to be 100% sober and alcohol free though, gonna need to plan that.

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

Got 12 days total Westside; hope to goto the Toxic BBQ apres jet-lag recovery & then plan to shoot-em-up somewhere but also really want to do a 15,000ft tandem skydive.
Also really want to check out the Atomic Testing Museum & The Attik nightclub for some banging thrash industrial-ism whilst salivating at some dusty sultry night maiden squeezed into latex
One's manager, for some Godforsaken reason, insists I see Celine Dion. I say not.

Then off to LA for 3 days to see a 'relly afore camping back @ McCarran awaiting one's return bird across the pond, what!

We are thinking of doing the 15,000 tandem as well. You have an idea of which day you guys might do this? We should all go as a group...

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.

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.

Re: Fremont Street Experience

The Gun Store has actually been very cool to us as long as they can tell you know your way around a weapon and aren't a fucktard. Their Class-III rentals are full rock and roll, they don't get on your case and ask for controlled bursts only.

You say know your way around the gun? Unfortunatly us Brits only have access to shotguns and bolt-action rifles (Of which I have fired and owned). Not that I'm a fucktard and would find it impossible to load and arm a firearm I have not used but I assume you get some sort of basic instruction?

Also under Nevada law what do I need to produce to rent a firearm? Will a passport do?

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

Well I get in on Tuesday, no idea what Im doing that day.. probably just chill out, maybe see a show or something.. Buy tickets from one of those half price vendors and just take luck of the draw.. Whatever they have available.

No idea Wed Either.. If sushicon is Wed, I'll probably attend that.. I had to choose between trying this grill I had heard about or JPop at Mandalay for sushi this last trip.

Thursday I dont know if Im going to be needed pre-bbq for any of the events yet, unless someone says something I'm going to leave the pre-bbq events to the pre-bbq event organizers. I'll be at the BBQ that night, then the summit after the BBQ.

I have to attend a few sessions at an other con before the start of Defcon.

But as always I will make the BBQ and other Thursday Night adventures.

Wait til we tell tell Deviant he has exotic meat!

heh, i may have to make a custom shirt just for the BBQ saying something along the lines of "DefCon... the place where everyone comes for a taste of my meat"

American Shooters is great if you want to "Shoot a machine-gun!" though, I'd hate to be the occupant in the condo's directly behind it now! It's a little hard to get to right now (and even during con) due to mass construction on that road currently.

We found a really great spot just outside of North Las Vegas that's away from people, and has some good shade. Drop me a line if you want the secret coordanates.

Re: Fremont Street Experience

i would really love to see something like the DC Shoots of old come together but i don't know if any suitable venue exists for that anymore. (places out in the desert, etc.)

The places exist, though you have to be a bit more carefull as civilisation is always getting closer.

The problem is every year the retard levels grew higher and higher. It got to the point where the retards were preventing the organisers from having a good time and at that point there is no point.

Maybe time for a new shoot to spring from the ashes, but someone would need to set the "you must be this tall to ride" filter sufficiently high so as to reject all the retards.

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

american shooters is the place i was refering to. They have apparently overhauled all their class III weapon stock and replaced some of the more knackered toys.

About time becuase its been getting steadily worse there.

Postcon i will definately be hanging around for a while. We are booked to fly out of SFO the following weekend so we have a week to decompress in vegas, drive slowly to SFO and then maybe some warmdown partying in SFO.

Did not want to miss out on the Toxic Bar-b-que and Deviant's exotic meat selections!

Re: Fremont Street Experience

Please post info if the shooting range idea comes together. I was in attendance at the Defcon shoots in past years and would be interested if some one can find another place to hold this.

we've all been just doing the indoor range thing the past few years...

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

I'm looking to see Blue Man Group, and go to a shooting range.
I may go see Penn and Teller too.
Visiting different buffets is also on my list.

The Atomic (bomb) Museum sounds cool too.

How about the rest of you? Have plans to do stuff before or after con, other than con-related things?
