      The brokedikk, convicted felons aren't exactly the demographic that most companies target.

      I've been to several bashes, and they're absolutely first class. Start to finish.

      If a poster can't afford to go, then they're most likely not helping to support the site financially anyways. As good of a guy as John is, he ain't running no charity. The bash is SBR's way of saying thank you to those that support them. It's a reciprocal relationship.

      In reality, 50 of the right guys would be plenty to make it a great trip.
      They are broke dikks for a reason though Opie.

            Does nobody any good if a bunch of low-life scraper by's all converge on Vegas because of free hotel and they could hop on a spirit flight for $100. It'd be a fun time I'm sure, but from SBR business perspective... Futile and useless.
            The bash in Costa Rica was phenomenal. There was fishing, golf, poker, and a harem of girls for each poster.

            Personally, I like something different than Vegas. As Opie explained its good business. I've been to this place and smoked Cuban cigars at the craps table while nursing a sunburn that wore through my sunscreen. These are world class beaches. There are lifeguards and after you swim out 50 yards you will know why. Everyone(ie all the girls) on the property are drinking free. I opted for an afternoon horseback ride on the beach. Every few miles I refilled my bourbon. Should of got a DUI.

            For those who can't swing it just keep plugging away. There is no shame in not being able to afford this trip. Don't let anyone get you down. All of us were brokediks for half our life and I certainly wouldn't be on this guest list in my younger years.

                It's like they don't want anyone to go.
                50 ppl show up max.
                That's not a 2 or 3 day weekend spot.
                It's a week long vacation kind of location.
                $500 a night for rooms so if you want to actually stay there the whole superbowl week and not just 2 nights, it's going to cost you a fortune.

                The airfare is steep, and you are talking about a forum full of broke dikks.
                Probly 10 members that would go that aren't even allowed to leave the country.

                Vegas was the only logical site for the best turnout.
                It's cheap, it's great for 2 or 3 days, there's no sites to see, and would be your biggest turnout.
                Not to mention there is no better place to be for a SuperBowl than Vegas.

                Massive fail in the making.

                For some reason, SBR wanted a shitty turnout here.
                Too easy to bring a gun to Vegas. At least in the Dominican you'd have to get it through the TSA

                  Sounds like it'll be a hell of a time. I've spent probably 14 weeks of my life at the Club Med there for Spring Breaks and it is absolutely phenomenal. I've played a lot of good golf and Corales (in Punta Cana) just might be my favorite course I've ever played. Never looked forward to a superbowl more and look forward to meeting you and the rest of the gang at the Hard Rock in 10 months

                  Only downside is the rain, which I'm assuming can be an issue in February as well, but oh well, so be it if we get stuck in the casino gambling for a day (oh, the horror )

                    Hey pal we don't all fly fukkin charter

                    I've had far more bad experiences on us air than I have on spirit. Airline industry as a whole is a big pile of suckbag.

                    Virgin is the best by a long shot fwiw

                          But let's be real here. You're only 5'4 with your shoes on. For those of us taller posters, those cramped seats are a nightmare.

                                        SBR you wanna give us a rough estimate of the nightly rate we are looking at if we decide to stay for a couple extra days?

                                        Thanks

                                        For me three days is reasonable to fly down, but if we got a crew of Triple, Lkid, Shaun, even Buffalo is pure class from what I've seen, along with whoever else shows up, hell I'll kick it in the DR for a week

                                            Cheapest I saw for the Friday via Expedia is £485 pounds (700 dollars) but john said we can get a discount via the sign up in the summer

                                            But agree the place looks fab and can't wait I'm definitely going

                                                Thanks

                                                For me three days is reasonable to fly down, but if we got a crew of Triple, Lkid, Shaun, even Buffalo is pure class from what I've seen, along with whoever else shows up, hell I'll kick it in the DR for a week

                                                But agree the place looks fab and can't wait I'm definitely going

                                                      LK - they definitely want us to wait until registration is officially released and more info is given.
