Halos Heaven MEET-UP in Vegas

by Rev Halofan on Sep 3, 2007 10:29 PM PDT in News Comment 32 comments

Celebrate Halo fan fellowship and a great season, as well as the birthdays of Rev Halofan and Yeswecan in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, September 29.

We will be meeting up in beautiful Downtown Vegas for an adventure that will include:

*The Search for the 75 cent Heineken
*Our Penny Slot Tournament
*The Halos Heaven Vegas Scavenger Hunt - with PRIZES
*Dive Bar Diet Coke-a-thon
*Favorite Angel Lookalike On the Street Contest - with even better PRIZES
...and much much more!

Here is how it works:
Step One:
Make your own reservation - I recommend Cheapovegas to point you in the direction of the right deals.
Please Note: Downtown Vegas is cheaper and most of our festivities will be there!
Step Two:
Get your ass there however you please. The above site link has travel deals in addition to its hotel deals.
Step Three:
Early in the week of the event our Saturday Night Itinerary will be posted on the site for all to read. Print it out - It will have the exact times and locations of when and where we will be meeting - if you get there late, you will know exactly where we are when we are there. If you have to split off from the group or get separated, this intinerary will let you catch up to us.

The itinerary begins with a 5 pm mixer (the Angels play in Oakland that Saturday at 1:05 pm) at a location to be determined where we can all meet and greet. So we will see you all in Las Vegas Nevada on Saturday, September 29 at 5 PM (eat an early dinner, I recommend the Main Street Station Buffet for value and the Golden Nugget's for quality) in Las Vegas Nevada for a night of Halo Fan History!

maybe

i'll be there. not.

by blaqhalo on Sep 4, 2007 12:44 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

cupie and i will be there

i'm looking forward to seeing the itinerary. the rev has a knack for finding off-the-beaten-path gambling deals. the last time i was there with him, we hit the penny slots at the Gold Spike at 2am. the clientele at that hour was -- gently put -- fascinating.

it will also be fun to meet fellow HH-ers out there. it's always nice to put a face to a screen name.

1:05 vs. Oakland

Is anyone going to get together at some casino's sports book to watch the game?

The Venetian

has the biggest Sports Book and i will most likely be watching form there - but I have to squeeze in some poker and may be doing this Saturday before our HALOS HEAVEN VEGAS NIGHT!!!!

Vegas baby!!

As a Vegas resident, I will be in town. The Gold Spike is a dump, even by downtown standards. Maybe I'll come by, even tho I never post here.

by Vernster52 on Sep 4, 2007 5:40 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

SHOCKED

I never would have thought that any Vegas resident would actually utter the words "Vegas, baby!"

by Higz on Sep 4, 2007 5:56 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

lol

i am a vegas resident, and i have never uttered that phrase in my life. not even when i was intoxicated.

by wongy on Sep 4, 2007 7:18 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

i was and i didn't either.

who does that? damn tourists.

"it's mind-bottling."

LOL

That's kind of like a Californian saying "welcome to Cali" or "Cali-for-ni-yay" ... or someone from Orange County saying they are from "The OC"

hilarious

Don't call me Desmond

Don't call it that!

Chart it up! Game on!

by scottnak on Sep 4, 2007 9:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It's a joke nak!

I'm from Orange County ... I'm ALLOWED to laugh at people who call it "The OC" or "the Cali" or "Cali-for-ni-yay".

Mostly, I just want to puke when they say that.

Orange Curtain

I just say I live behind the Orange Curtain. Every presidential election year since 1984 I have visited India. In 1992 and 2004 I was in Kulu Valley on Election Day. It is wonderful to go into town in Manali on Election Day and not see a Republican all day! Vote early and vote often? I get an absentee ballot and only vote once. Note for those who want to get an absentee ballot: the earliest you can get an absentee ballot is at 0800 on the Monday 29 days before the presidential election.

If this was

a reference to the best ever prematurely cancelled show ever, well done, my friend, well done.

With win-win-win, we all win!

lol

you weren't intoxicated enough.

man up

by Vernster52 on Sep 6, 2007 9:17 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

vegas will be rad

the rev will give us a fun itinerary of gambling and social studies that will renew our faith in the guilty pleasures of Sin City while reminding us that it's a good thing to take it all in measured doses.

by yeswecan on Sep 5, 2007 12:16 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

and you won't have to gamble to have fun

you can watch, chat, laugh at who barfs first, and I know places where you can gamble with ten bucks (cue Lionel richie) all night long, all night!

by Rev Halofan on Sep 5, 2007 12:20 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

i will barf second

if at all...

by yeswecan on Sep 5, 2007 12:38 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I need new glasses...

Did anyone else read "social diseases" instead of "social studies"?

we should hit The Griffin

on Fremont, next to the frou-frou Beauty Bar. a great atmosphere, fantastic juke box, and not too many hipster jerks to make you feel like you're not cool enough to be there.

by yeswecan on Sep 5, 2007 12:43 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

when the missus i went

it was ALL hipster jerks .. oh wait, come to think of it, YOU are a hipster jerk!

by Rev Halofan on Sep 5, 2007 12:50 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

snobbery is relative

YOU are an art critic jerk.

by yeswecan on Sep 5, 2007 12:57 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

high praise

we're at the Plaza too - I don't want the two of you stomping around above us all night with the wild dames and dobermans you are bound to pick up.

by Rev Halofan on Sep 5, 2007 2:21 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

no chance

we'll be too busy raking at the No Limit tables.

unlike you, we don't like to spend too much time in dingy accomodations -- six years on the road is quite enough of that.

by yeswecan on Sep 5, 2007 10:46 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

tough weekend for rooms

cupie and i will hit the Plaza for $129. get 'em while they last, unless you don't mind the Fiesta, where you can join the Amigo Club.

Will there be a Tijuana-Halosheaven excursion

anytime soon?

Pity the sinking Mariners -- having about as much luck lately as Senator Craig

For all those still without reservations...

The luxurious Gold Spike motel and casino currently has rooms for 50 dollars a night.

Dang!

As a UK-based HH-er I am really jealous of this Vegas meetup!

What a time to be 7000 miles away! :(

With the dollar at an alltime low

it might be cheaper to fly roundtrip London to Vegas non-stop on Virgin, stay three nights at a suite in the Bellagio and gamble all night - all in dollars what it cost for a nice night out in London with the Pound.
