    Headed to Vegas next week from Wisconsin for less than 24 hours.  A buddy of mine always wanted to do this for some reason...go and come back the same day.  Not sure why, but I agreed to go with.  Anybody else ever do this from a decent distance?

    Couldn't agree more...trying to convince him of that but anyway I'm pretty sure I'm gonna "miss" my return flight.  Not back to work until August 25th.  My buddy can do what he wants.

    Just called my buddy...can't do it.  He can leave same day but I'm staying two nights.  Its Vegas.  Why the hell would I want to leave?  He's not much of gambler so its not a big deal to him.

    Does your friend just plan on catching a show and a nice dinner? I'm shocked! *thinks* Sounds like the type of guy that plans on flying out to Vegas just to see the Hoover Dam.

    I had a girl come out for basically 24hrs, but her flight landed around midnight, so she was able to recharge before a full day.

    I agree that is pointless what your friend is doing but I also dont think I would want to stay longer then a few days.  No idea how people stay in vegas for over a week.  Vegas is great for a great 2-3 nights.

    disagree thurow - plenty of folks hang in vegas and dont gamble a bit, for me I like about a 6 nite stay every time out,,always show on tuesday and head out othe following monday after a full weekend of games, next trip for me is slated for sept. 15th, gonna check out mayweather - JJM fight (I would assume comp tickets will not be to hard to come by for a moderate size player)
