Las Vegas tournament

There is a tournament in Vegas the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before Easter (5th-7th of April). If anyone happens to be in town and wants to officiate, let me know.

No, no airline, bus or train ticket(s) available!

Well, as long as this thread is already off topic, let's keep it nice and friendly, and not turn it into a racial discussion, but how about this.

What are some of the things you recommend doing while visiting Vegas? What are some of the good shows to go see and fun stuff to do, besides betting my monthly mortgage payment all on the Pass Line?

Man, you don't miss a beat with this particular mantra, do you? It's getting really, really, old. BTW, I'm white and I grew up in Mississippi, and this crap if getting old.

Damn!! I was just thinking about this the other day cause I remembered the one from last year. I'll actually be in town the last week of April -- if you can reschedule the tourney for that time, I can make it!!!

I just checked the site (http://www.visionsports.com/LVEC/2007/lvec_home.html).
I didn't realize this was a live period for coaches. It will be a good time.

Nevada, can you come down?

Unfortunately, I can't, but you might try contacting AAR and see who he can get.

No. For the next two years I will probably only go back for this tournament and maybe another D3 tournament that my friend assigns. After that, I will be living there so I will hopefully be involved in almost all the tournaments that come into town.

What do the games pay? Are they 2 or 3 person games? I'm seriously considering coming out if the numbers make sense. Also, do I get to work a game with you? What a thread it could be about a game officiated by 3 officiating.com posters.
