Sure didn"t see that one coming :-)
Paulie > me on planning, really don"t know why I did not plan a longer trip as I have booked both weeks off work anyway.

With 7 days to go lets have a review of the Thread that is Vegas Vengeance



Flights booked for myself the wee man , Noreen (sister) and Caroline (niece)

12:30  Thu  17  November Manchester  MAN  (Ringway) to Las Vegas  LAS  (McCarran)

17:25  Thu  24  November Las Vegas  LAS  (McCarran) to Manchester  MAN  (Ringway)


I"ll have a beer waitin" for y"all :P :P :P :P

Sorry forgot to ask, can you confirm where :-)


Sigh, I am so far behind the game on this, I only confirmed the time off work today. Best get on with it, I think I will book the flight from Manc as that what everybody else is doing.

Are people coming for a bit of a distance away thinking of staying the night in Manchester the night before? Just cos it would be fun and we could have the build up.

Wow what an awesome idea of mine that seems to have been, I assumed somebody clever thought it up. I really should have done a better job on confirming that time off work but the sweat was fun


Hope they"ve got bigger lifts too.  Jack looked pretty cramped in the last one.

Making him sleep in the lift is a bit mean. It"s funny fair enough but still a bit harsh


im still a bit excited.

How about now?


One of the girl"s in my department is going to Vegas with her boyfriend. She was happy when she told me, she was not that happy when she learned she was on our flight (however add 2 more  ;D )

Poor her, you gotta feel sorry for all of the people who have booked that flight and are currently happily going about their lives.



Aww thanks guys we really appreciate this it means a lot,

btw you are all invited to join us on the day the chapel seats upto 70 guest and we would love to fill it, the plan afterwards is food (again all welcome to join us) then (fingers crossed) takedown day 2 of the Apat tournament.  So dust off those dresses/suits/kilts/birthday suits?? and make this a trip to remember!!

oh and for those at home it will be broadcast live on the internet, i"ll post the link nearer the day.

You"re gonna need a bigger Chapel at this rate *lol*


Have just received this from Harrahs VIP office. It shows all of the current bookings that have been made under our APAT discounted rate.


What APAT discounted rate?  

The one you nearly missed with all that dithering. Nice of Les Croups to pay for your trip really (how does somebody win 3 out of 5 tournaments FFS)


At a severe loose end and just read this thread from the start (sad I know) - loving the way it started to go from nice to great to serious to epic - to stellar.

Did I mention that I am excited  8)

Have to give you credit here Ger, this is the best idea you or anybody else has had, ever.


Paul and Dan"s details.

14th to 25th Nov :  London Gatwick(Virgin) :  Mirage.

Wakey wakey!!!!.................one up, all up..........Heehee.

Birthdays, weddings, drinking, gambling....oh and poker ;D it"s all just too much.

See you on the strip :)

And it got better


Thought you might like to know that i"ll be joining this party.

Flying out of Manchester on the 17th and coming back on the 24th.

LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!

And better



Tighty and des when are you flying out? You going with the A team from gatwick or the beer brigade from manchester?


Heathrow on the afternoon of the 17th for me

And better

And with 7 days to go (or two if you happen to be Paulie) what other twists and turns will happen. Who else will join the party at the last minute? Will Flight VS085 live through this experience. Will the Holiday Inn crowd stay sober. All will be revealed before Vegas Vengeance.

Nah definitely not, it just wasn"t much of a reveal as everybody already knew you were going. Although obviously you make it even more Epic, let"s see we now have Scouse, Matt, Ger, Dan, Dawn etc, actually has Vegas been warned about this. I guessing this will be the first time noise level has ever been a consideration there.

I am kind of worried about "Stag Do Friday" now....I"m not sure I can cover the bail for that many people....I may have to have a whip round.

Advice on mobiles in lv please. To avoid roaming and data charges on essential phone use the best thing to do is?

Wow...there were a couple of posts on this.

Time is short for my preferred solution but I"ll have a dig for posts on this.

PM Curlage as he had an option for pre-bought phones. Otherwise, one can buy a data/text/voice sim locally at a T-Mobile store for around $50/60 to cover everything. [See next post]

On digging, I don"t think the Curlage option included data.

As I recall, you can buy a data sim (inc voice & text ) from a T-Mobile store that"s a cab ride away.

My brother did this last year for c$60...I"ll check with him.

I think the minimum term is 30 days on the $2 a day plan: see here...[LINKY]...but you can always ask in-store.

If he or others are doing the same this time you might be able to save some cash by splitting the cab between a few people.

You will have a US number though.

On a final note...make sure you are fully activated for all services (and test it) before you leave the T-Mobile store. My brother missed this step last time and had to make a number of calls to their customer services to get it set up properly.
