World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

Does anyone know if there is a shuttle from the Riviera to LAS and what its hours of operation are?

There is no free shuttle. There are multiple commercial shuttle companies. The standard rate was $7.00 last year. You might need to make a reservation the previous day. And allow plenty of time, because they may be late and make a number of other stops along the way.

Don't take a shuttle, my family waited for an hour just to get a shuttle. Honestly take a cab even though it will costs more.

Sounds good. Thank you everyone for the information.

Well, I've been making plans for going to worlds for a while now, and flying to las vegas isn't really good at all for me, so many stops to get there.. Anyway, I wanted to know, from those who plan on driving to vegas, if you would be up to sharing the ride with me..

 

[Yes We Can!]

How excited am I for this? Very. I'm very excited.
I felt like I needed to communicate this.
Two months left!

Sounds good. Thank you everyone for the information.

Last year, we took a free shuttle (which was on time & everything) to a car rental place and drove to the hotel (we also used the car for visiting). If I remember correctly, the prices were pretty decent.

Yeah, I'm not 25, which is what I think the age to rent a car is. I could be wrong though.

I rented a car in Vegas when I was not yet 25.

You probably just have to pay 3x more for insurance and will be limited to certain vehicles.

We will rent a car and neither of us is 25. In the first week (before worlds) no one of us is even 21. In that week the car costs 15$ more per day. On Sunday one of us turns 21 and we'll get another car without the extra charge.

I'm pretty sure you cann rent a car at any age, as long as you have a license and a credit card.

 

[Eric Limeback]

I will be there!!!!

Hi Guys, a small group of Hungarians (Hunor & me) plan to visit Grand Canyon, Death Valley, etc. (maybe Horseshou blend) after or before the competition. We fly home from 'Vegas on Friday morning so we have 4 days and we should spend Thursday night in Vegas anyway.
As it is getting time to book hotel, I have some questions:
- Do you think it's possible to book Riviera until 2nd of August & cancel some nights if we decide we spend some nights somewhere else?
- Does somebody join us to share a rent car?
- Any ideas how to spend 4 days the best way? (Zion national park, Sequia nat. park, etc. However we don't plan to bring hiking boots.)
- will there be any organized tour, like in Bangkok?
- In the home page there is a "Things to do in Las Vegas - Coming soon!" section. Will it be updated?!

Yosemite: http://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm, and/or Hollywood, and/or San Fransisco. That is what I did when I was there years ago with Lars, Joey and Clement

I'm in Vegas for the summer. Discovered a great hardware store there that seems to have springs suitable for puzzles:

Are there any Vegas locals attending this competition? We could use a mailing address to ship equipment to. It would be very helpful if someone could assist with this. Please let us know.

Couldn't you use the hotel/venue for that?
