the river palms is a nice place. they got a huge parking garage also onsite. That was the hotel i used to do my mitsu poker runs a few years back

lazybusinessman · 05-27-2008, 09:47 PM

i really liked the pioneer and the midget room i got

DuBy · 05-27-2008, 10:36 PM

Drinking and gambling FTW!!!!!

Just remember guys. The number one reason a lot of people didn't go last year was because of $$$. We only spent maybe $240 total. I know Bill spent even less than that because we paired up in Lake Havasu and split the $70 hotel room. The California and Vegas guys had like 6-7 people per room and they ended up spending next to nothing for the entire trip. Just a little advise to those that are worried about $$$. Work together and everyone can have a great time!

lazybusinessman · 05-27-2008, 10:48 PM

yeah i spent less than 300 bucks for the whole trip. that was for 2 people too.

MazdaManiac · 05-28-2008, 12:19 AM

Yeah, the Pioneer isn't too high on my list.
Even though they knocked 10% off the rooms, It was a bit "spartan".
At $50 a room, two people only have to sink in $25 each and they'll have a real bed at the Tropicana.

zoominmazdalover · 05-28-2008, 08:34 AM

sounds good to me...ill definitely post this up on vegasmazdas

jeff whatever you feel is best for everyone go for it!

last year chris and i were looking to spend a pretty penny, but ended up saving in the very end! we're definitely offering to have people share a room with us again as well, it helps us and helps them in the long run! hell the more people in a room the better, its like a house party in a small living space hehe

this is the official planning in progress thread correct? just wanted to make sure before i put up the dates...are the dates set in stone? october 10, 11, and 12? arrive in laughlin friday the 10th leave for our run on the 11th, spend the night in havasu and head back home on the 12th correct?

DuBy · 05-28-2008, 08:46 AM

Yup, that sounds about right to me.

zoominmazdalover · 05-28-2008, 08:54 AM

Ooh the weather is gonna be lovely around that time

hopefully LVRSCCA doesnt plan an event for that weekend, because quite a few people i know for sure wont be attending the meet if lvrscca plans an autox event that weekend. as for chris and i we'll be attending the meet instead like last year for sure =D

mazda6irl · 05-28-2008, 09:33 AM

I know that The Aquarius hotel has been showing some deals on tv as well, maybe we can get info from them? I didnt mind the room to much, only because it was one night. AND we did get the free buffet!!!

zoominmazdalover · 05-28-2008, 09:40 AM

true christian does like that security was looking after our cars that night at pioneer...FREE BUFFET yum yums!

Rotary_Eddy · 05-28-2008, 04:06 PM

I live in K-town.. (kingman) Ill definetly be there

Any runs out to Oatman while your here?? Theres alot of fun roads on the way there...

EVLTSTR · 05-28-2008, 04:51 PM

I might be down for this.... Depends pn the financial situation at the time. I will know as it gets closer.

werm · 05-28-2008, 05:09 PM

id have to wait and see what my school schedule is. last one sounded like fun and would like to take part this time around

zoominmazdalover · 05-28-2008, 05:35 PM

werm 9 last time was tons of fun! you'll truly enjoy it! hope there's no conflict with the school schedule *cross fingers*

EVLTSTR start saving now!!! heheh just put a little a side for the next month or so...im sure you wont need more than $300 i believe for the trip (hopefully gas doesnt go up anymore...i doubt it), $50/month should do you good for hotels and money to have some fun with! =D then of course gas hehe. speaking of which i needa start saving eeeks! (pull hair out)

Rotary Eddy, looking forward to meeting you, so you'll definitely drive down to laughlin to meet friday night? i believe kingman from what i remember is like 30 -45 minutes from laughlin right?
