    SBR Bash: Cheap Vegas Airfare for those with under 4k posts?
    I am still going to be attending the Bash this year but I am having a hard time finding affordable airfare. Cheapest I can find from Philly to Vegas is $330 or so with appropriate depart/return times. Anyone out there have any advice for finding cheaper tickets?

    I had always heard it was cheap to fly into Vegas...

        wow, I'm surprised you can't find any cheaper!

        wait until specials come out!

        I usually connect thru Philly, and I get round trip for $200!

          Where were you able to find that price?

          In all fairness I did find some for $220-250 through southwest and midwest air but both involved getting into Vegas VERY LATE friday and leaving at like 2am Sunday. Whats the purpose of that ya know?

            Check out priceline.com They are by far the cheapest for airfare and I searched ALOT.

                Because less people fly at those times!

                I usually take the red eye back to the east coast! Its nice because everyone sleeps all the way back.

                I usually end up on US AIR. I usually get between 200-250 for round trip out of Albany, connection thru Philly or Pitt

                  Good news for me gentleman.

                  I poked around and found some $208 round trips from Baltimore to Vegas.

                  Should be good to go for Bash. I am going to wait a few more days before I book so any more input would be great.

                        We need a couple of more people. We can rent a van, drink all the way, take turns driving, stop at casinos, strip clubs, etc etc.

                          hopefully we can find someone with 4k posts to pay for the gas!

                              I rarely hear better ideas than this.

                                Doesn't this beat the purpose of saving from the airfare? Unless you get a free van, free gas, free food, free drinks, free lap dances, free hotel.

                                    I think you will find better deals during the summer as you get closer to the bash date.

                                          We will use JJ's van.
                                          We will steal gas.
                                          We will not eat much.
                                          We will definitely drink! (only cost required)
                                          We will not need to pay for lap dances, they will gladly do it for free!
                                          We will not need a hotel, as we will not stop to sleep. (driver rotation)
