BRUINS GDT GAME 61 - VIVA LAS VEGAS - NBCSN (Dave Goucher), TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[MetM]

We went the first year (to see the B's). I put one dollar into the slot machine as I was waiting to get into the Beatles Love show . I lost the dollar so I stopped. .

My daughter made me jump off the Stratosphere...

The B's lost the game.

I was there too.. they lost 3-1 right?

Amazing city and arena though! Loved the experience.

Waterslide through the shark tank at the Golden Nugget is epic.
Wynn all you can eat buffet, roller coasters, people watching, endless fun and now hockey and great weather, how can you go wrong.

Yep, The Nugget is actually where I stayed in November. Absolutely loved the hotel. Probably my favorite of the bunch I've done.

1. Golden Nugget
2. Planet Hollywood
3. The Linq
4. The Flamingo
5. The Luxor

Luxor is my old ladys favorite as her grandparents used to stay there.

You can't really go wrong anywhere down there as the only reason I went back to the hotel was to fall asleep, barely spent any time there at all.

Never stayed at the Nugget but will next time I go.

 

[RustyBruins72]

So far my initial $20 in a slot machine has grown to this and I will now use these at the Sportsbook today

Got freebies to see David Copperfield last night as well. This beats a road trip to Buffalo

Made a work trip to Vegas in 2011 for NAB (Broadcast, TV/Radio) Convention. I went to the Stadium in the Pallazzo hotel to watch the Masters. Made a $10 on the Bruins to win the cup. Won $65. Had to jump hoops to have it sent to Canada but I did. I wanted to frame it, but I didn't.

Good luck. Make some good wagers!

My grandparents moved to Vegas from Somerville to retire in the early 90s so I grew up coming out here. Obviously very different experience as an adult but it’s very familiar in a lot of ways.

And yes, Fremont St is awesome. We’ll be heading over there...some of my groupmfor the first time which will be cool. I grew up with the prime rib at Binions Horseshoe being the dinner my mom sent me with money to take my grandparents out one night.

The dome was in the process being built when I started coming here so it’s crazy to see the development and change.

 

[RustyBruins72]

Nice!

I don't know how busy things are in your world. You should do one for each city the Bruins play in. For Boston it would just be TD Garden, but you could do one for each other city/stadium.

Honestly, they're all good hotels. The distance is what i disliked about the Luxor for the most part. It's the second last hotel on the strip next to the Mandalay Bay.

@Kate08 Go to the Red Card desk at the Wynn or Encore and ask for a Boston card - They are planning to add a lot of freebies when Everett opens

Encore Boston Harbor Red Card

Thanks will do!

 

[Troublesome 85]

Yeah I would stay off Fremont ST at night

 

[Troublesome 85]

Kinda feel like calling into work and going to the game but with LV almost having its own big dig out here the aggravation is not worth it. Was just by the stadium last week and it was a mess.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Fleury likely starting for the Knights. Two former Bruins defensemen are game-time decisions: Colin Miller and Nick Holden.

[Glove Malfunction]

I'm ready for the 10:00 starts to be over.

I happen to like the 8Pm starts local time. At least I'm done with work and can watch.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Many of us scoffed but Vegas has become the ultimate road trip for hockey fans. There are a LOT of Bruins fans here and this is repeated with most of the other teams.

They have a special pregame planned for the invaders from Boston but it is unlikely it will be seen on TV unless faceoff is pushed backed to 7:20 PM which is possible depending on how the Chicago at Detroit game goes.

One of my high school friends is one of the tmobile voices. I just need to get myself there and I could watch game from Tmobile suite for free. Someday I'll be able to take the time off and get myself there.

We stay at the Wynn when I play golf with college friends there in Novembers. I'll definitely be upgrading my card, even though I'l rarely be able to use it.

I stayed at Silver Sevens, cheapest option in already cheapest city on the trip.

 

[BobbyAwe]

Drummers? It's Vegas, they should have POLEDANCERS

 

[BobbyAwe]

Charlie with 3 points tonight! (it's time to start thinking about that contract, son)

NDOT has TWO snow plows ready

 

[Emerz]

Just keep on rolling, widen that gap between the leafs.

You mean two official NDOT snow shovels?

 

[Troublesome 85]

For you out of towners: Be careful this is a fun city but also a dangerous city. Be careful when you drive. Between tourists and the dummies that live here I see 5-6 accidents or almost accidents daily.

This is also an open carry state so be aware of that as well.
