World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

[rubiksarlen]

but that's not where all the cool kids will be staying.

heh. I remember staying there when I was 5 and all the TV programmes were for kids (cartoons, clown stuff etc.).

I'm driving there. Just like I'm driving there for Nats this year. I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED! It would be amazing to go to a WC.

You totally lost me. I was referring to the U.S. as well.

Where does Beijing come into play here?

Saying that only half of Vegas is basically geared toward 21+ year olds didn't really come across as a recommendation for places to visit while in the US (culture/history). :-(

Fangyuan mentioned that she was keen to have WC2013 in Beijing. The idea sounded appealing considering that there are so many cubers in China. And it could be nice to give homage to a country that produces so many puzzles...

can someone from Australia give me a rough idea on how much would the trip cost.

Vegas is a huge place. Trust me, you will have no issue finding stuff to do. I have a cousin who lives there (well, now she lives in CA, but she lived in Nevada for a good chunk).

Thanks for clearing that up Tim Major.

Bare minimum would be $2000+, but I would expect $3000~ to be a more likely estimate.

****... my parents want to go...

Las Vegas is a relatively new city. It sprouted up in literally the middle of the desert and exists as a haven for gambling, honestly. There is not much in the way of history, but a 5 hour or less drive away are the Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, and southern California (San Diego, Los Angeles). There is a lot to see and many ways to get there.

Lol. Say "no"

WHY YOU NO HAVE THIS ON EAST COAST??

Fairness/balance maybe? East coast already had two and west coast hasn't had any.

Although it will have been 8 years since the competition was held in the United States. There aren't many people who were cubing back in 2005 that are still active today.

However, I think Las Vegas will be a great location for 2013 and am pretty excited about it.

 

[Escher]

I'll do my best to be there. I'm so glad it's in July!

Hopefully WSOP '13 will still be going on around that point, would be a shame to be in Vegas and miss it...

 

[MirzaCubing]

Circus Circus That's where I stayed last time. It's awesome. Straight up =.=
Hmmm, I might do another LV/LA trip centered around this.

If you're going, wanna share a room?

Why not?

 

[TheAwesomeAlex]

It's going to be really hot there in July

 

[flary]

I'm very happy to know that we gonna have the WC in US during the summer vacation. I'll definitely go.

What happened to Beijing?

Beijing 2015!

 

[KingTim96]

hey man me and you live like an hour away from each other, so if you go, i could probrably get my parents to let me. but i hope i can go aswell!

It's on the other side of the country and I won't be 21.... I hope I can finally go to a big competition but I don't know.

Sounds appealing

I'll start saving.

Beijing 2015!

I just talked to my dad about this. His first reaction was that Las Vegas is not a good place (you know what I mean) but then when I insisted a bit he said that you can apply for the visa and if you get it (I am a Pakistani and it is very hard for us to get an American visa) then you have a chance of going.
