What does everyone's Vegas trip look like?

Christina and I booked our trip last night, and our schedule is as follows:

Tampa to Las Vegas:
Departs Friday, Oct. 20 @ 7:25AM
Arrives Friday, Oct. 20 @ 10:50AM

Las Vegas to Tampa:
Departs Monday, Oct. 23 @ 4:10PM
Arrives Monday, Oct. 23 @ 11:25PM

I'm posting this because:
a.)I want to know when everyone is getting there so we can possibly car pool to the hotel (Bally's).
b.)I want to know when everyone is leaving for a possible car pool to the airport.

Also, check in at the hotel isn't until 3PM, so we're stuck with bags for 4 hours... oh well, I'd rather get my money's worth and be there for the whole day as opposed to getting there late.
Update: Bally's has a check-in counter at the airport, and a shuttle to the hotel from the airport. Should be no problems even if we can't get a ride from the hosts or others.

To Jae -- Do you have a schedule for the trip, or are we just playing it by ear when we're all there?

As far as flights go, I know Deb gets in around 10:30-11ish AM. I know Shane and Nadia have booked their flights and get in between 3-4pm.

And for the bag issue, they usually let you check in early if they have clean rooms, and if not, you can definitely drop off your bags with the bell boy earlier.

As for a schedule, if we really need one, I can send out an email with everyone's plans/contact info if you each email it to jbailey23 at gmail.com. Thanks!

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Eric, how much did your flight run you? Now that I got an apartment, I gotta see if I can swing it...

Leighton said...

Oh, and who did you book it through?

I had initially been searching through travelocity, orbitz, AAA, priceline, etc. That turned out to be a bad idea. All the while Christina had been watching Southwest for their crazy deals that they only offer for short periods of time. Southwest happened to offer a deal for 4 days/3 nights for $2 more than everyone else was offering for 3 days/2 nights. I thought she was showing me another 3/2 deal at first; when I saw that it was for 4/3, I was sold.

Nick D said...

meaning you booked the hotel using southwest as well or were you referring to just the flight

Eric said...

No, it's the whole deal, 2 round trip tickets and 3 nights at Bally's.

Southwest Vacations

At the time of this comment, Bally's is unavailable... as I said, Christina had been checking it a lot.

We fly into vegas around 2-2:15, and get back to tampa 6:15 am on monday. I want to experience the worlds largest all you can eat chinese buffet and I am sure it exists somewhere in Vegas. I would also settle for the bronze medal if the food was stocked by little chinese people dressed like penguins.
