The official Evo 2k9 NW thread. Nobody on dry land can fade the NW

heads up people 193.40 flights to Las Vegas only problem is there is a layover. Nonstop flight is 219.20

Now that I have a job, I can say that I will be going to Evo this year. However, I am not good at figuring out what will be most cost efficient. I kinda need someone to hold my hand and help me figure it out. lol. It’s all good though. Some how, some way I will be there.

just did my taxes it looks strong that i can go. just hope everything goes alright.

Looks like I’m going too. Game on

Updated list - PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT:

Josh / Thad / Nolan / Fae Thurs - Sunday night
Frank / Mandel / Mickey / maybe Sean - thurs - sunday
me / maybe evan / maybe Brent / maybe Rat thurs-sunday
pablo / fishjie / JB / Lothar Thurs - Sunday night
magnetro + 3 cali friends = thurs-sunday
paullee / mike / justin = Fri-Sat ONLY

  • Kyle
  • RayBladeX (thurs-sunday)
  • Gina?

room cost is probably about $75 a night split between the people you share the room with

Zach, something seems off with the $75, it doesn’t sound like it includes various fees (resort fees, taxes). Either way, it should be the cheapest hotel room in years.

Did my own caluclations, here’s what I got:

$288 + $25.92tax for Friday and Saturday Night, Resort fee and taxes included.
.
$218 + $19.62tax for Thursday and Sunday Night, Resort fee and taxes included.
.
$515.54 = Grand total for 4 adults
.
$137.89 = Total cost for each person from Thursday through Sunday night.

Is that based upon the Evo room rates? Where are you getting your rates from?

EDIT: If you’re getting the 4th night free, that’s definitely the best deal.

Sounds like you’re using the math $84 + 30 + 30, right? I used the math “$84” and that’s what I believe we’re all going with.

I know that on sat. After the games and what not I’m going to moon @ the palms to see marcus schultz…clubbin in vegas is too bomb…as long as you follow the dress code :frowning:

Vegas last weekend has me really wanting to go to this just to go to Vegas again.

Not sure what I’m doin yet, but I’ll definitely be hitting the clubs while I’m there…and pfft, the dress code part is of no concern. :stuck_out_tongue:

So, I’m dropping out;; Got invited on a trip to Europe that I just can’t pass up, and any way I look at it, I just can’t find time in my schedule for both. Was really looking forward to Evo too, but Paris > Vegas.

I’ll still be cheering you guys on though, even if it’s not from the sidelines.

wooooo i booked my hotel. this will be my first year also at EVO and Vegas for that matter.

Here’s my flight info if anyone from PDX wants to catch the same flights:

Flight Information

Alaska Airlines Flight AS622

Boeing 737-700 Portland, OR (PDX)

Thu, Jul 16

Leave PDX @1:10 pm

Arrive LAS @ 3:25 pm

Alaska Airlines Flight AS623

Boeing 737-700 Las Vegas (LAS)

Mon, Jul 20

Total cost is about $240 w/insurance.

EDIT: Alaska Air seems to have the best rates. Some flights go from Portland, to Seattle, then Vegas. I like my flights Non-stop so I chose the ones above.

Dress code?

new to this whole forum so still getting used to the lingo and what not on here. So when you guys go to evo is everyone going to be on the same flight? I think it would be pretty dope to have like a summit before everyone hits the airport or something.

nah, that shit would be too hard to plan. I’m sure maybe a couple people have same flights, but I really doubt more than that.

fae nolan thad and i are all set to go!!! just need to register to evo lol

Last year we didn’t plan to be on the same flights but I don’t think any Seattle people were alone on their flights there, I know I unintentionally was on the same flight with Brentobox and Paul Lee, but you should go to a gathering so you can meet people so you can recognize gamers on your plane flight. :tup:
