Cool man, Just put my fat arse in your luggage.

SOMEBODY GO WITH ME!

But if you don't live in so cal and you plan on going, shoot me a pm so we can meet up. I might have to bite the bullet and go alone :-(

Hey Danny, was talking with the wife and another couple last night, seems there's a good possibility we'll go. I'll keep you posted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Awesome man. We got toget together for a cigar and a drink!

[mrreindeer]

And possibly a caravan! Not sure yet about logistics....

Danny has great tips. I went last year as a rookie and absolutely LOVED it! I went to the weekend seminars and the Sat night BigSmoke. I took my wife with me to the night event. It was crowded but by the middle of the event, it was easy to get your cigars. I would recommend that if you go to get a friend to go with ya and split the cigar coupons...as everyone else has said.

The cigars were good, the food was ok, the liquor was awesome and for a rookie like me last year, I had the time of my cigar life. I recommend it highly!!

I started compiling a list of attendees if anyone cares:

I'll be there.....

We're days away from the Big Smoke and I'm definitely going to be in Vegas that weekend; I just can't convince my friends to join me at the Big Smoke. I know it's a lot of dough to plunk down and I'm still on the fence myself. But I'll be in town and I'm definitely going to meet up with Jon and some other fellers at the V-Bar on Saturday and hope to meet up with anyone else who'll be there.

I started making a list of BOTL/SOTL who are definitely going.

Let's grow the list and specify what night you're going and/or if you're going to the seminars.

And if you think I should just throw caution to the wind, bite the bullet and sign up, leaving my friends and my wife to their own devices while I attend, well, say so! I'd likely bring my wife to the Saturday night event if we do it.

The list for the Big Smoke:

ArnaudDMR
Beagle Boy - Friday Night Event / Sat & Sun Seminars
caborocker - Friday Night Event / Sat & Sun Seminars
Mr. Montecristo
TOJE

The list for the V-Bar meet on Saturday at 5pm

JonCaputo
TOM - TOB9595
Mike - Beagle Boy
Andrew - Scottishsmoker
Donald - Dsmaddox
Mitch - Theking
Steve - TOJE
Andy - Dooge
David - mrreindeer
Aaron - ArnaudDMR

I and my wife will be at the Saturday night Big Smoke evening. I didn't pay in time for the weekend seminar and had to put myself on the waitlist...not happy about that. But happy that I get to meet some of the CS folks there.

Love that Vegas town, but alas I will not be able to attend.... you'd have to peel me away from the poker tables if I were in town. :]

[mrreindeer]

I'm not much of a gambler so the daily seminars interest me in more ways than one, while the wife is off gambling away our life savings. But they start so damn early! 9am....in Vegas, are you serious???

[Stinky]

There's an after-party at the Las Vegas Cigar Lounge located at 5825 W. Sahara Avneue about 3 miles West of the Strip in the Burlington Coat Factory Shopping Center. and, they're open LATE!

[mrreindeer]

Sweet, thanks!

I've just found out that the seminars are sold out (as of 10/24 I believe).

NUTS.

Serves me right for delaying.

Is there any point going for one of the evenings? I'm much much more interested in the seminars...

it's 3000 max per night, 500 max for the seminars - there are many people who prefer the eve for the party atmosphere, the ratio of cigars to $ paid, but you don't get much of a chance to talk to the manufacturers....it's a personal preference
