They want you to spend your money gambling. Food is cheap too from what my parents have told me.

Actually if you're sitting at a table or a slot they will bring you drinks for free. A tip is expected, though.

Did any cubers stay or at or go check out Circus Circus while at Nationals? It's cool that the Riviera is literally across the street.
I wish I had remembered to check this thread; I would have looked around over there last weekend.
Edit: I want a like button for speedsolving posts.

I'm pretty sure that most of the stuffed animals that were given out at the competition were won at Circus Circus.
Stefan, Breandan, Thom, Eido and I went there on the 7th to play arcade games. I won a giant penguin. :3

^Oh yeah,

@1$0, I just wanted to point out that this is the first Worlds to have the word "Championships" instead of "Championship" in the title.

Food is kind of expensive in Vegas especially because you have to eat out for every meal.

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.

I really hope you guys are not athletes...

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...

I see your modesty is in full effect
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.
