Thanks! I'm willing to meet up with any Acurazine members while I'm out there.

I'm flying there on Wednesday the 2nd, I have passes for the show on Thursday and Friday, I'm staying Saturday to just check out the city, and then flying home Sunday.

Sorry my schedule didn't work out. What hotel did you book? Did any of those hotel deals I sent you help out?

Thanks Steven! No worries that you couldn't go, there's always another year

I was stubborn and just used Priceline to book the hotel and flight together. We are staying at the Luxor hotel, the black pyramid one, for 4 nights. Including airfare it's ~$620 a person. Not too shabby.

Yeah I heard it's towards the north end of the strip. I paid less than $650 for round-trip airfare and the 4 nights at the hotel so I can't complain. I'll just hop in a taxi whenever I need to go somewhere. I plan on hitting up the pawn shop that's on Pawn Stars

I like that GS, although the front bumper and side skirts are a little overdone.

Very nice looking concept, looks exotic; shocking that Scions might look that good in the near future.

Who else from Acurazine is out here? I got to Vegas around 1:30 pacific time.

I walked 5 miles from the Luxor hotel to the Convention Center and just walked past the outside exhibits. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I can't wait to get into the show for the next two days.

My dumbass brought my camera and my battery charger but forgot the USB cord to transfer the pics I'll be posting pictures from my phone and such whenever I get back from the show tomorrow.
