Early Thursday, gives you enough time to get comfortable and that's when all the fun stuff starts happening.

 

[Vincents]

If you're visiting San Francisco, you'll want to bring a light jacket. Yes, even in summer.

Shh, Shelley, that's how we make money off the tourists!

 

[Vincents]

Keep in mind you may not have to fly directly to Las Vegas. If the difference is over $200, it's highly likely that it'll be cheaper to fly into the San Francisco Bay Area airports (SFO, OAK, SJC) or the Los Angeles area airports (LAX, ONT, SNA) or even Phoenix-Sky Harbour, and then book a second ticket through Southwest or another carrier to Vegas. Last year, most of the Bay Area staff paid between $39 and $69 each way for their tickets.

We made the trip down from the Seattle area last summer and leaving on Wednesday is fine. We left Wednesday afternoon and made it there before noon on Thursday.

I'd avoid LAX even if I did save $200+

 

[cubegenius]

anybody got $300 or so I could use?

 

[cubegenius]

Would I be able to get a room on Wednesday night for $45?

 

[Kian]

Would I be able to get a room on Wednesday night for $45?

Plus tax, yes.

 

[cubegenius]

Plus tax, yes.

That's good.

 

[JasonK]

Assuming I can save $2000 between now and July, I will be coming. Worlds during uni break = winning :tu

Move to Las Vegas.

 

[Michael Womack]

Move to Las Vegas.

Don't have the money or the will to do it.

Lol anywhere on the contiguous United States is in "driving distance". Just maybe not your preferred distance.

 

[Michael Womack]

Anywhere in the world is in driving distance.

Not if you want to spend 3 days driving all at once or spend $50 for 1 night at a hotel on the way to Vegas and then $100 for a hotel at Vegas for 3 nights. Also it's like $5 for 1 gallon of gas and my car takes 40 gallons. If I ride the airplain I will have to deal with TSA and a way to transfer all 100 of my cubes.

 

[Tyson]

Why do you need to transfer all 100 of your cubes? You could ship to the Riviera UPS center.

And by the way, now that I put two and two together, I will be setting up an automatic rule to forward every e-mail from change.org to your e-mail address. Enjoy.

You're going to miss worlds because you can't bring all 100 cubes along? That's retarded. Have you considered a big suitcase? Or only bringing what you need??
