Scarlet McBayne Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 a great place to stay is at the Howard Johnson next to the airport. I stayed there last year and it was minutes from the faire grounds and Cheap! It was something like $149.00 for 3 nights...course 4 of us girls bunked together and made it oh-so affordable. I'm still planning to go to Vegas ...only hell or business will keep me away! Oh and Matt, the link you posted looks like its for last years date....I have heard it was moved from the 1st weekend in Oct. to the 2nd weekend. I'll let you know more as I find it out. See y'all there!

Ransom Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Think of the fun ta be had if we commandeered (nautical term) a motel/hotel for all those travelin' in from parts far and wide. Twould be a pirate party fer sure. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Barbados Sam Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I forgot to mention:Those that are going may want to look at www.stationcasinos.comwww.stationcasinos.com They are a local chain of hotel/casinos that have very nice accomodations for the same price, or often cheaper than that of the Strip casinos. Green Valley Ranch, Sunset Station and Fiesta are all pretty close to the action. GVR is the closest. Sunset Park (where the faire is held) is right next to the airport and a very short drive to the Strip. If anyone needs more info about the area, post here, or you can send a PM. I used to work as a cop there. Green Valley ranch is very expensive...similar to rates on the strip. We stayed at Fiesta when we went to AOC last year. Pretty reasonable (I think it was about $80 a night), and it's about a 10 or 15 minute drive away from the faire grounds. "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Matt Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 GVR is the newest of the bunch. Has a private little beach built onsite running into a small pool. I used to get lots of calls reference drunk wimmins, there. I shoulda gone when I was off-duty! hmmmm...come t' think of it, maybe that's where I should stay if I hit Vegas again. :) You will be flogged. And God willing, come morning, you will be flogged some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbados Sam Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 GVR got really popular with the running of their reality TV show on A&E (or Discovery Channel?). It was fun to watch. GVR is the crown jewel of the Station Casino family. I've been there to eat and play several times. Beautiful. Just out of my price range to stay at "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company.

Rummy3 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Don't stay at the Best Western. It was a fortune and not a nice room at all. I think most of the Biggins stayed at the Silverton Hotel last year. It was really nice and their rates were the same or better than what I paid!

Ransom Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hugs back attcha!! > ;=} < Blimey, ya all makes a girl feel welcome, even before the event has started. I truely hope to be there, and I be plannin' for it. But a lot can happen in nine months (NOT that sort o "nine months" though), so I be crossin' me fingers and toes and hopin' everythin' works out. It would surely be a thrill ta take the tour with such awesome pirate wenches! I used to do SCA stuff a lot, so I kinda know the scenerio, Ren Fair wise. But piratin' be new. And, yes Diego, it has been a long time. And that Vegas trip was a sort of Kamakazi—jet in, jet out deal, as me husband was returning a Pepsi trailer to the plant there. We left Riverside at 1:30, got to Vegas at 5:30, watched the volcano erupt, saw the white tigers, ate at Excaliber, and took off. Got home at 3:30 in the morning. This was the day before we moved to Oregon, which was another 14 hr drive in a giant U-haul. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Blaze Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Will there be anything proffered (shirts, pins, etc.) one could wear proudly at all subsequent events. Can I be an OG Pyrate if'n I shew up? the garb be that of period no pockets, no zippers and certainly no velcro. the idea of a pin is alluring one for just the pikes of us... Those that actually make the run to do this accomplish this live this through by being this a pyrate too. Yes I'll start looking for what it might be a skull with the year under it mounted on a pin with a ribbon hanging under it maybe.... we shall see I know the good folks of Port Royal make some lovely period looking wooden buttons with sayings upon them. Perhaps we could persuade them to make special ones for this here Union? If not, I'm sure we could come up with something on our own along that line. We are, after all, a creative bunch of swabs!

Mad Matt Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'd love it if you did! Unfortunately, the soon-to-be ex has already committed to a friend's wedding on the 14th of October. Just so happens the wedding is in Vegas. She will be gone the whole weekend. Looks like I have a better offer, ladies. I get a three-day weekend alone with my daughter! You will be flogged.

Bunnycutlass Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well they haven't set the dates yet which could be bad if we get hotels for the wrong weekend. So, as soon as they post the dates, we will post the link, like you already did. I sent them an e-mail asking them to update the link for us planners! Thank you Patrick for your assitance!
