Saturday through Saturday.
We always make it a vacation/business trip combo.

That's more or less what I do as its the only time I get vacation that doesn't involve a shooting competition of some kind.

Ususally spend Tuesday and Wednesday at the Show then the rest of the week is party time.

Should we setup a meet?

jwfuhrman
12-11-14, 18:37
Lets get it setup. Any night will work for me. One of the nights is gonna be date night since the gf is coming since her birthday is the middle of the week of the show.

Sam
12-12-14, 08:29
We're on. How about Tuesday night - after the end of the first full day. I suggest meet at one of the hotel's buffet near the show. It's easier to do the buffet since we may have a bunch of people. I've been to the Mirage buffet at least a dozen times, they're consistently good and more reasonably priced than other places, plus it's across the street from the Venetian (show).

Let's start the list:

Sam (2)

The next guy just "quote" my post at the name and add yours. I edited the original poster's thread title.

Sam (2)

Jon F (4 probably 5)

Bowser

Jon F (4 probably 5)

Kevin right now (1) might be upwards of 6 if I get the whole crew to join in.

If i can get the time off from my day job I'll be there. I'll add my name when i know for sure.

I would say ceasers buffet. That buffet is ridiculous.

For those of you going please don't forget to PM your swag carts. Don't want any unforeseen accidents going down the aisles.

Ive never eaten at the Venetian buffet like you are talking about. Generally if its a buffet, has prime rib and crab legs, im game for some destruction.


For those of you going please don't forget to PM your swag carts. Don't want any unforeseen accidents going down the aisles.

last year we ended up, somehow, following a guy and his wife around(or they were following us) and my buddy tripped over the dudes cart like 8 times because the guy would leave it in the middle of the aisle. My buddy finally took it and pushed it over to the side out of the middle of the aisle. I think somebody else pushed it under a table that had a skirt around it. The guy was flipping out looking for his cart. He was screaming at his wife, searching everywhere. It was one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed, a 60+ year old man having a nervous breakdown because his cart filled with shit was missing. Dont know if he ever found it.

There is no buffet at the Venetian, I said Mirage (across the street) :)

I finally understood the "carts" comment. Saw some of those, they're usually amateurs LOL. Veterans of SHOT shows usually walk very light.

I'm not going to shot itself but I might meet up for dinner

Bowser
12-16-14, 13:30
Would it be a bad idea if I put whiskey in my camel bak and start dispensing it to people at the booths into small Dixie cups? lol

Sam

Not a bad idea but not a new one either. Beer and alcohol are sold all over the place, the show is only yards away from the casino floor and bars.

Ah... SHOT Show. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Word. Bot my first Shot Show, but I just feel like doing more goofy stuff to not make my head explode from seeing a bunch of tactical weenies.

I'm asian so I gotta play it cool or they might mistake me for a chinese dude trying to copy their crap.

Don't worry you'll blend right in. Just don't wear a Mao jacket and don't let your hair stick straight up in the back :)

I'm picking the Mirage buffet since there is no strong desire for anything else.

Ill be out there, but my group is dead set on going to Ceasers on Tuesday night and I cant convince them otherwise.

Waiting to see if my boss schedules anything for me Tuesday Night. Should know by Friday.

3. Maybe 5, I dont know if two of the guys that went last year are going again this year.

I was going to ask when the last time you went there. They re-opened it in 2013 with a 17 million dollar overhaul. Just be warned its a $50 buffet, but I felt it was well worth it and I have eaten at a lot of buffets in my travels.

The last time I ate at the Caesars buffet was probably 2010 or 2011. Was disappointed. If they did renovated it, I hope they have a new chef. $50 is kind of steep. That's why I suggested Mirage, they're about $35 I think. Can't really remember because we never had to pay. LOL.

Thats up to you all, dont let me change your plans. My buddies are set on going to Ceasers on Tuesday night so thats where I will go, we tend to stick together in Vegas. The buffet is rated #1 in vegas for a reason though and its truly an impressive buffet. I think their annual budget is $100 million. The freakin desert bar had at least 50+ things on it.

I love shooting, I love guns.
But while in Vegas, my face is in buns.
So many hotties, so many honeys,
I don't care that they do it for moneys.
So enjoy the buffet, enjoy your dessert,
I don't go nowhere where I can't flirt.

Sam
01-13-15, 14:15
The wife frowns upon that. You go on with your own bad self.

Eurodriver
01-13-15, 14:18
Ahh, a wife.
The beauty of life.
I'm not judging you, dude
Cuz I don't know what the hell you've been through.
I wish I could join it sounds like a blast
But due to GA, I'll probably pass.

Mark, you Sir are a piece of work. You kill me man...:D


Sam, I hope that you guys have a great time. Your buffet choice is good by the way. The HardRock has a nice buffet spread too.

Same here Jon. The food at the Mirage slipped a little. We checked out the Bellagio buffet last night and found it much better. That will be my new go to buffet unless proven otherwise.

Going home on Friday.

I'm sure it is.

We were on a budget and we had a BOGO at the Mirage. The food wasn't as good as it used to be but the price was great.
