Puddy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 A person at work suggested the nicer car (Town Car type of car) and said there is no line for that and that the wait can be a pain in the ass for a taxi. Maybe she's nutz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 yeah.... there were a few of us that wanted to go bigger for 1 dinner out there and we wanted to open that up for whomever wanted to join..... the huddle get together/dinner was more of an opportunity for all of us to sit down for drinkiing and grab some food. i think that any place that could seat us- that happens to have food available- is sufficient....  if you guys want to change that up a bit, i am game. just trying to get some concensus (and get 1 great meal while there)  fwiw- i am also going to be jonesing for in-n-out, so happy to hit that up for a quick lunch or 2 am snack  As yall know I'm not getting to Vegas until ~5:30pm Saturday. When I first mentioned a big dinner/get together I had no thoughts about cost. Still don't care if we go to a burger joint or a fancy dinner on Saturday. If it's a fish place, as long as they have shell fish (like lobster w/ cocktail sauce...yeah I hate the butter thing, or fried shrimp) I'll be there. Not crazy about the REAL fishies, 'cept maybe a good Salmon or Tapia! Anyone want to convert me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's nutz. Â I have been to Vegas more times than some of you have been alive, and I have never seen an option like that! I'd pop $25 for no line, no wait! Many of the limos ARE town cars. Check w/ her and check back here w/ the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's nutz. Â She's right on the money. Â I have used that Town Car service on a couple of occasions. Â It was $35.00 last time I used them in '07. But no line no waiting. Â If I remember correctly, if you are walking toward the baggage area, taxi's are on your right and the Town Car/Limo service is on your left. Wherever the taxi's are the cars are on the opposite side of the baggage claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that's the case I'll probably spring for the extra $15 or so to save on the wait and look like a big shot to the Mrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think the spot at Treasure Island where DMD and WW had the organized event a couple years ago was PERFECT. There are a couple decent eating locations right near that loungey area too, in case people wanted to go grab a bite. I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's food options adjacent to that spot too.  Having never been out with this group before, I am game for wherever y'all want to go on Saturday. That Flamingo spot seems to be a place that the group likes, judging from posts I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBalata Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 You mean... total.... right? Â Â I'd prefer to not have to bring those kinds of threads... Â I'm thinkin' I may hit up the burger bar and meet you high rollers later in the evening.

Big Country Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The taxi line almost always moves very fast, despite looking very long. The year I got in at the same time as Skippy, Bunz and I am blanking on the 4th (I think there was a 4th) we skipped the cab line and took a limo. It was about $40 or so, IIRC.
