I am still in "undecided" mode. I really enjoyed myself last year, and I have the time off this year to go again.
I would like to support the event, and would most likely stay at Arizona Charlie's (note that there are two "Arizona Charlie's" in Vegas - this is the "Decatur" one - not the "Boulder" one)
The negatives:
1) Several of the Ontario people who went last year are not going this year. 2) This year's hotel is not "in the heart of the action" - it is several miles west of the Strip. Car rentals or taxis are a hassle, and I don't want to spend all of my spare time at the hotel. No airport shuttles are available (unless the organizers arrange for them) - so another $20-$30 cab ride each way. Thus - I would probably only stay Fri-Sat-Sun - not the 5 nights like I did last year. 3) Air fares aren't as cheap as they used to be - do I want to spend $600-800 on airfare?
There are downtown hotels (Golden Gate, El Cortez, Golden Spike, 4 Queens) that are in the $C 65-80 range (through expedia.ca). Strip hotels are mostly (at least) double that.
I will make my final decision later - I'm off to Australia on Saturday.

I will likely wait until the last min. to book a hotel. Kim and I are both coming and likely bringing a couple of friends. We will likely stay somewhere like Bellagio... if we want to go a little cheaper... Imperial Palace.

I will be going to Vegas with Chris Gobby, Denis Dubreuil, Sylvain Perron, and David Perron. Chris will be pulling the pro left and right 70 kg classes, Denis will be pulling the pro left and right 80 kg classes, I will be pulling the pro left and right 90 kg classes, and Sylvain will be pulling the pro left and right 110 kg classes. David will not be pulling because of an injury. Should be a great time. I loved it last year!
