    That's pretty much what I did at Nats. There was a 7-eleven close to the Riviera that sold big bowls of Cup Noodle for $2 each. It was pretty good, too. Eating cheap wasn't much of a problem.

    That's my problem whenever I go on vacation. I normally try to eat fairly healthy, so it's practically impossible when eating out. Even salads come drowned in fatty dressing; carbs (noodles, biscuits, bread, etc) is covered in butter; vegetables are usually steamed and covered in buttery greases... But I manage to survive

    I consider myself athletic and typically stick to a fairly structured diet, but let's be honest... you don't go to Vegas for your health. I felt like a sloth after only being there for four days this year and I cannot wait to do it all again in 11 months (well, maybe not everything again...).

    Actually when I was in Las Vegas, I found the food fairly cheap compared to eating out at other places. I think it's because they make more money from the casinos than the food. But cost is relative. Most of you are non-working students. It would be awesome to be there for Worlds but I'm pretty sure I won't be going. I still need to get to my first competition and get all officialized...

    NO. Your first competition being Worlds would be an insanely amazing experience, maybe. Buy a stackmat and skype some cubers if you want to prepare, but EVERYONE MUST GO unless they have an INTENSELY understandable excuse for not doing so.

    Not for something as big as World's. My parents wouldn't let me go to Nats because my grandpa's 75th birthday party was the same weekend. As a compromise, they say they aren't gonna let me miss World's.
