2011 SBR Costa Rica Bash!

[bobbyfk]

I'm fine with a large dollar hold as long as the word holds true that it is not charged. Good luck with the race for sign-ups boys.

Ryan just a heads up when using debit cards with hotels

I have heard this happen with gas stations too....

[chilidog]

jajajaj, chili new highway aint open now, figger the odds on that shit bein open after it starts rainin again

yah i know, they can't ever get anything right. i rather enjoyed trips to jaco/hermosa while it was open. i'm going to jaco this weekend, so i really hope they get that damn bridge taken care of. who knows.

i'm sure it'll be just fine for august though. going the old way sucks, now that i've been on the new highway.

anybody know if los suenos is chica-friendly? some hotels won't let you bring putas back to your room. i suppose there's always the rent by the hour hotel rooms around the beatle bar.

Only the first 50 will be eligible for the reimbursement.
So yes if you meet the requirements SBR will cover the cost of rooms.

in the rules it states only pro may participate in this bash so i guess im out i only play horses so i dont use much online books i live close to the track and play 365 days a year i have my money in hand everyday and ive been stiffed online really good so i'll keep my money close to me. if i were a baseball. basketball, football, etc better, then maybe i would use them but not for horses. i had a very bad experience with a book and since i dont keep much online at all, i cant get screwed out of 12K again.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Edit, double post

[Iwinyourmoney]

If this was Vegas I'm sure they'd cover non pros hotel rooms.....nugget prolly gave SBR 25$ rooms.

These rooms SBR is prolly getting for 150.

I have a feeling this bash is going to make Vegas look like fukin chuckie cheese.

So they only are inviting the guys who support SBR through this program.....my guess is bash budget has been raised 2x original bashes......can't fukin wait

[fishmonger]

Man I got an continuing education class on thursday!! Guess I am going to miss it and be pushing refresh for 30 minutes prior to the sign up time. See you bitches there. And what are the cost for additional nights? Planning to get there early and leave out late.

[opie1988]

I AM FU**ING STOKED!!!

[BestPlay2day]

Have fun boys, I don't think I'll be able to go unless airfare comes down quite a bit. Seeing airfare from MN close to $900 a ticket for desirable times I want to leave and I have to buy 2 tickets for my wife and I. Glad I got to go to the bash in Vegas last summer and meet a lot of poster and SBR employees.

[blittydeuce]

Why not?

Amby, let's charge it for good ol' times!!!

[dbartinbwgc]

Last year it cost 25 points to hold your RSVP
None this year

[tblues2005]

There is no way I can go and I am leery of going out of the country at this time anyways. Hey Joey we could meet up at some city that has a race track. It sure would be nice to meet at Churchill Downs in the fall.

[blittydeuce]

Why u skurred to leave the country?

[aggieshawn]

Post one. I am all over coming to Costa Rica.

[SBR_John]

Iwin and others it is now a $300 hold on cc, not $600. This is like any hotel room you book when traveling. Normally you can cancel 48 hrs in advance for no charge. And since these are Marriott properties I'd bet its no more than 48 hours.

This is not some cocktail party. This is an nearly all expense paid vacation to where Jurrasic Park was filmed! The rooms are not $50 like last year they are nearly $200. SBR will gladly pay for your room. But if for whatever reason you can't go you need to cancel or you WILL get stuck with the bill.

Nice looking family!

.....have I mentioned how FU**ING STOKED I AM FOR THIS BASH???

[aggieshawn]

Current rates will be approx. $180 US per night per room.
In Costa Rica?? Maybe we do it a 3rd world country of Canada with more reasonable rates.

[aggieshawn]

How much is the price of beer in Costa Rica???
Other expenses??
Got to set up a budget..

Post some local prices and such. A price for nice "local" hotel.. etc

Local beer is about $2 each. Imported will usually cost extra.

There are numerous local hotels in Jaco (the location of the Marriott Los Suenos hotel at the beach) that run in the $40-100 range per night. The one that I am staying at this weekend is $59 a night w/ 2 beds.

A meal will run you anywhere from $4 to $50. Really depends on what you want to eat. When I hit the beaches, I usually eat alot of seafood, but even then, I'd say my average meal is around $5-6. Then again, I'm used to eating at local restaurants. If you just go to the tourist places, then your meals will be in the $10-$20 range.

I think if you are worried about the prices of food and alcohol, maybe a trip is something you shouldn't be doing. Just a though. Chili, I can't wait to party with you, you are the one poster I look forward in hanging out with.

This is why I said in previous posts you better make sure the # posters secure the room with is a real CC # registered to them.

Is this $180 per night or can we get a deal through you. SBR/SBR John/ Sam

Uhhhhh......guess I won't count on you providing that free room before the bash any longer??

While I appreciate your candor......I must say your abruptness really stings!!

It will be epic.

Really, Costa Rica is what you make of it. You can spend as little or as much as you want. Want to party like a rock star? No problem. You can be like a backpacker and stay in hostels for $5 a day, or go all out and blow through 5 dimes a day.

I would say that if you want to wake up the next day and feel like you could teach Charlie Sheen how to party, then plan on dropping at least $500 a day (multiple girls, plenty of alcohol, various substances, etc).

It really just depends on what you want.

Id love to do delmar and check out the beach and few days back in vegas , the rest of the summer, you can find me at saratoga out back near banbury pub where you can play some uk racing too or you can find me down at the finish line in the patio resturant(got to grease matre'd there)

[goofyre]

Whats the hotel we would be flying in to? I need to find out how much it'd cost for me and a friend to make this happen. Still working on a college income budget for another year.

It's going to be a great time. The last thing on my mind is money, I am going there to have a good time and do whatever comes my way.. We will have a plan in motion if you know what I mean!

I never was going to provide you with a hotel room... I have no clue what you are talking about.. God Bless.
