Defcon 21
« on: June 26, 2013, 02:53:56 PM »
So, Defcon this year will be at the Rio. Since I have an armed escort this year with a vehicle and the prices are insane at the Rio, we're staying offsite. I'm leaning towards a suite at Aria. 5 star, haven't stayed there before, and close to the Rio. But anyone have any other thoughts? At least one hawt chick (likely two or three) and at least one fed will be crashing out there. Plan is to geek out during day, and drink all night.

Y'all had some awesome ideas for DC, so I bow to the collective knowledge of APS.

Kinda trying to balance "center of Strip", "close to Rio", "economical", "nice" and "roomy". Hard because there are so many options.

I've stayed at two hotels in Vegas. Only one is on your list, so I'm voting for the Bellagio. Service is excellent, the room was amazing but, honestly, anything you could want (from your list) is available at or near any of those hotel/casinos.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I've stayed at Caesar's, Aria, and Venetian.  I'd go back to the Aria.

If you simply want to be pampered and avoid the riff-raff, then the Bellagio.   If you're looking for simply a place to put your head in a pillow, then anywhere will do.

Also, do read.   http://www.artofmanliness.com/2012/03/13/how-to-experience-las-vegas-like-a-gentleman/

I took the time to wear dress pants, dress shirt and a sport coat (with and without a tie).  I was treated much better by the employees at every place we went simply because I didn't look like the rest of the riff-raff in shorts, flip-flops and a Harley T-shirt.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'd just crash at my cousin's place but he don't know you.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
