    You know a bash at the Hard Rock in Punta Cana is not a terrible idea. Great casino, poker, girls gone wild, great golf, food and booze and rock and roll 24/7. They also have horse back, ATV tours, fishing, hooker night out and all the rest.
    You wouldnt be hard up for Hookers in DR,there all over the place.

    http://www.hardrockhotelpuntacana.com/casino.htm

    The casino is brand new. Can smoke a cuban while flipping cards.

    So all inclusive meaning ALL drinks and ALL food is free 24/7 anywhere on the resort. btw the food was excellent. Drinks? Beer drinkers have the advantage, well drinks are watered down cheap stuff.(cant win em all)

    I saw Los Lobos there. Not the biggest name but they always have a decent band. (btw, not a lobos fan but they were great in concert)

    Girls? Well had my wife there. It's not Del Rey quality or plentiful. All you need to know is free booze 24/7. There are some highly intoxicated girls there so salad!

    Sportsbook is run by Bookmaker.eu.

    Punta Cana sounds awesome, and the wife would definitely love to go. Looks like I'll finally have to renew my Pro status, there's finally something that I can get for my points.

    I have not been in years but went a few times to Punta Cana with wife before kids. Was a long/adventerous taxi ride from the airport to most of the resorts.

    Not sure how much money you get sponsorship wise for bashes but even making posters pick up some/all of the hotel room costs would still draw in more members than Costa Rica/Dominican or whatnot.

    Anyway, Id vote Vegas and even pay my own room, food, hotel, etc. Just throw in a poker tourneys and a few things and you still get more folks than most of the other choices.

    If required I might have to renew pro too. Biggest problem is there isn't really any book I can open a new account with.

    They have a new highway now. But yea, its a 35-40 min drive.

    A gig like this will cost $200kish. Outside of Las Vegas we could probably count on $100k in sponsorship maybe even the whole event. In LV we would have a tube sausage in our hand for sponsorship. It's just the reality.

    Contact El Cortez in downtown LV

    They may sponsor... Some people think SBR's clientele and El Cortez's are in the same demographic

    Taxi ride was rough (6 years ago). They would better finish that highway by now.

    Let me throw down a date but keep an open mind...let it sit there. Kind of like a bad idea Dad throws out but out of respect you don't answer too quickly. Jan 2,3,4th. Now while its laying there I'll remind us all we were freezing our azzes off that time last month. We could be rubbing lotion on hot hookers on the beach wacting football in the Bookmaker.eu sportsbook, getting hammered and watching John win the poker tourney...just think about it.

    Vegas has my vote. A CR trip would have to be heavily subsidized to make it worth it for me.

    Correction:

    BetCRIS runs the sportsbook at the Hard Rock in Punta Cana. I mistakenly stated bookmaker.eu. My apologies.

    If it's in CR lets at least do it in guanacaste. Or what about Australia? Those guys

    In the past if you've had a ban, you wouldn't be able to go...

    I was selected in the Wheel of Banishment last night for a 24hr ban.

    I just don't see that many people going if it's not in the USA? Not knocking the people from other countries who chime in here... it just seems most of the posters are from the USA. If you moved it to Costa Rica... or another area outside the USA... I don't think you're going to get the attendance you're looking for. Quite frankly maybe John doesn't care to have that high of a turnout? I feel bad I miss the Vegas Bash 2 years back. If it's in Vegas.. I'm there for sure... (as for a lot of the posters would probably show up.) It's familiar territory to most people. Comfort zone etc.
