why get a car? Just cab it to the hotel. You dont need a car in Vegas!

Drop that $175 and use it on a game.

agreed , for that short period of time and with the amount of time you will be parked in front of the games by all means pass on the car-- check the rates at The Golden Nugget,,the new rush tower is top shelf and you can get a better rate I feel certain , check it out, you will be glad you did

I dont know what you really are looking for in your vegas experience...but for me (Bet games all through the day, play the tables and craps all night/morning, and sleep for a few hours in the late AM, early afternoon) all I need in a Vegas room is a bed and a shower. Im in my room for maybe 4-6 hours a day max. If you are the same as me, Excalibur is perfect for you.  Beds are average, and has a bathroom/shower that sufficient. 

The Excalibur is in a perfect location..the book at the excal is small, and the tvs arent that big..but its usually not that crowded...but you are a 2 min tram ride away from Mandalay which has an AWESOME book, and some phenomenal food options (Burger Bar) you are also a 10 min walk from the MGM which gets pretty rowdy on game days as well.

and with all that taken into consideration, you are only a 15 dollar cab ride from the airport..and a 10 dollar cab ride from Excal to any hotel on the strip....ditch the rental car.

officially ... booked last night at this time ...

southwest flight on monday 22nd ... $180 ( i dont want the delta lines )

rio from 22nd to the 30th ... $393 for under $50 a night.

southwest flight back home on tuesday 30th ... $180

360 for the flight and 393 for the rio

 

depending on what I do within the next month ...

I will probably get a car for the time I am there (enterprise)

I just like enterprise in the past ... so im cool with them

 

looking at the map of vegas, the strip, possible grand canyon trip, maybe drive to los angeles, or death valley ..

im not going to walk from the rio to sportsbooks and other casinos, so a car will be CONVENIENT!

thats why I need a car for the week, im not wasting money on cabs or any other transportation, I want to be able to drive whenever, wherever!

Dude.................

Vegas ? Grand Canyon ? LA ?

All on an extended 4-5 day weekend. You are nuts. Even if you did do this you would be spreading yourself so thin you wouldn't get any enjoyment from any particular one if doing all three. Google the Grand Canyon (it's rocks, like the one in your drioveway), LA? waste of time unless your staying there for more than 3 days. Guess what? It's a big city.

Do yourself a favor and stay in Vegas. More than enuf to fill your plate. I'll take your action on your 15 team parlay. No limits.

I think you're just a bit too stoked for this trip. Stay in LV for the duration, relax and party.

the rio is stated above ...drive to the grand canyon ?---you are talking 6 hours each way--time is way too valuable- pony up the cash and take the helicopter ride ,,turn the trip into a half day journey,once you get to the canyon the best way to see it by far is by copter so just get yourself up there and back that way-

excalibur is $324 for the week ...

Have a great trip. The Rio is a nice place. All rooms are suites.

Skip LA. Too far.

Spend one day walking the strip and visiting each casino. They are tremendous structures.

Go downtown and see the sky show.

The hilton is the greatest place to watch NFL football(Theater seating)

Give us a report when you get back.

It depends on the parlay and management will probably need to review it.  It also helps to have a player card ready for them to scan when at the time you're about to place your wager.

$15k was the most I ever placed on a parlay and it was on College Football or a combination with the NFL. When I do these types of bets it's usually on the money line.

The Hilton and Palms have always treated me very well.
