Again, ahead of ya SMILEY

oh hey Barry Manilow... I'm placing bets on who goes to that SMILEY

Aaaaaaanyway, the normal rooms (save being a rich git and getting your own penthouse... somone needs to do that) can have 4 people in and the 3 nights cost $449.85 (that's $112.46 each). Who wants a roomie? SMILEY

NightTrace

Thats it? Nice, I was expecting it to be alot more expensive.

So we're looking at 115+cost of ticket+spending cash.

I'll bunk up in that one room as long as NT doesn't try any of that TF2 Spy Backstab crap while we sleep.

He knows what I'm talking about.

Also, which Hilton is it? The Hilton on the Strip?

NightTrace

Ah quite. Forgot that part, you would think SOE could cut us MXO players a break after they took even more features from our game, if we payed to get out there the admission should be free SMILEY

But in all seriousness, still not horrid on the price.

Alright, so the official MxO "Cuban" [drunken white guy] and the official MxO Mexican, we need two more. Whose coming with us? SMILEY

**TheUnknownShadow**

As a side point, look at all the red names on the forums suddenly! Am I actually breaking this news before you guys are finding out?! Surely not, that wouldn't be good... SMILEY

JulieTheIntern is hot btw

And @ NT, yeah man, it's pretty cheap SMILEY the price I'm getting there is off their website too, just go to http://www.lvhilton.com/ and use the book thing in the top right of the page. We'd be getting there on August 14, it's 3 nights... do the math. It's actually $239.85 if you get the same room type by yourself so yeah totally worth bunking in with people SMILEY
