    Sammy 9 baller good people
    haha we'd have to ask Sam. I remember we were talking about it the night of the dinner that there were Vegas guys who didn't even show and who had said they'd bring a guest and then didn't.

    Like I said I'd love for it to be in Vegas. Guys are complaining about a plane ticket to CR so there's no way they'd afford Macau which is the closest place to me on the list. And everywhere else is going to be a massive mission for me regardless with Vegas being the closest so obviously I prefer there. 30 hrs + of traveling is horrible. But with no sponsorship it's not going to happen in LV and John already stated as much so I'm not wasting my time hoping for a miracle. Doesn't mean though guys can't organise a mini bash there on their own and try to get group rates on rooms although I've yet to see one of those pan out on here.

        Sharon I'm running a mini bash in April

        I talked to Sammy and he even told me a lot of guys did come to Vegas but did not come to the bash

        They were there they just didn't sign up in the sign in sheet

        So Sharie if I buy a ticket to the Dominican republic for 10 days for $3000 and they do not have the bash there you will you refund my money?

            I live in Mexico and have a soft spot for Veracruz. Beach is not nice in downtown, but on Boca del Rio / Mocambo is fine. OTOH downtown is nice to have a dinner among mariachis. Nice aquarium too. Weekdays rooms are usually cheap most of year. And I had one of my best dinners ever at Mandinga, 15 mins from Veracruz.

              Mexico is out it's way too dangerous

              We can't spend 45,000 in security

              It's down to two places Dominican republic and Las Vegas

              A lot of pressure right now to have it in Las Vegas

              Sherry I got four calls tonight now they want to book trips to Costa Rica and the Dominican republic because that you said you're guaranteeing their having the bash their

              By reading all your posts you said Las Vegas is 100% a no go

              Do I tell my guys to stop going on Expedia for Las Vegas?

              I'm totally lost Sharon

                    I posted John's comment in here already but I'll do it one more time for your slow arse.

If you are in the US you won't even see a sportsbook banner on any of the sites. So its a legal issue in the sense that we would not promote a US facing book in the US and the euro books wouldn't want anything to do with sponsorship either. But outside the US both groups would be lining up to put their name on the event.
                    Does this sound like it's going to be in Vegas to you?! The big man himself is telling you the deal and yet people still keep on hoping. It ain't happening in Vegas. And why do you always get all up in bash threads anyway when you never even entertain the idea of showing up? You're like an old biddy on the porch. The only guarantee here is that you won't show up.

                    Sorry t, I missed this before. I'd love any of those choices!! My guess though is it's going to be CR or DR.

                      SO THEN WTF IS THE POINT??????? People need SBR to hold their hands while they book a trip to Vegas?! Without all the extra stuff it isn't a Bash ffs. Go start a thread now and plan a Vegas trip where everyone pays for everything on their own. See what happens when it comes time for people to actually turn up. Any of us can take a trip there whenever we want. The difference is all the extras - and for many guys the freebies - that come with an SBR bash. Let's go to the Points Forum and I'll take a bet on any amount you have that the bash won't be in Vegas this time. I can always buy points if I lose (which I won't).

                        Its just a sports club getting together

                        Sherri they do it all the time

                        Vegas full of bachelors parties and that's all this would be

                        We can have our own events ..I am already hosting horse contest at Wynn no banners Sharron and have 7 guys confirmed

                          If we have this in CR there are security issues, passport issues with gov't agencies

                          Immigration laws, lots of paper works..guys got to go to the fukkin Consulate to get approved

                          Big plane fees

                          Hunny your just showing up in CR with a red carpet laid out for you..we have to grind to get there

                          DR is ok and doable with some workarounds

                          I am calling Mr Walker tomorrow

                            100 guys my ass. People were crying about having to pay for their full plane tickets last time and yet you think 100+ guys will pay for flights + rooms + food?

                            Good luck with that call to John. Let me know when you want to make that bet.

                                  It sucks that a few guys (not you) have passport or parole issues but most people don't. Either way that still won't change the fact that no sponsor = no Bash in Vegas. John already told us all the deal... listen to him and stop trying to get peoples' hopes up.

                                    I will say that the accommodations at the CR bash were 10 times that of the ol Golden Nugget.

                                    Nothing wrong with the Nugget, but that Marriott LosSuenos was pretty kick ass.

OTOH downtown is nice to have a dinner among mariachis. Nice aquarium too. Weekdays rooms are usually cheap most of year. And I had one of my best dinners ever at Mandinga, 15 mins from Veracruz.
                                                  Cookier if we hold this thing in Mexico there will be one beheading minimum

                                                  Cookier how do we figure out who that will be

                                                  Cookier will we have a gambling contest and whatever guey finishes last gets thrown to the drug lords to get decapitated???

                                                    You read too much into news. Mexico is safe on 99% of territory. Of course, if you go to Michoacan hot land you are risking your life. But Veracruz city is safe. As it is any big city on main areas.

They think you just made a deal with El Jefe of the cartel. When Drinker and I roll around in a Ford Astro Van with a 30 pack a piece of Miller Lite, we are fukked pal. They are going to write one of those notes on the bed sheet in our fukkin' blood.
