Joe theisman seemed cool. I screamed out”Joe! Who hurt you more? LT or kathie lee?” He heard me and smirked. The we took keyshawn. Keyshawn walked up the aisle towards me. He took off his new jet hat and threw it towards me. I swear to god the world went into super slow motion. The hats trajectory was dead on landing on my head. I put my hands out to snag it saying to myself, “omg! This hat is mine!” Then, a freight train barreled into my back. I was almost on the floor with dudes on top of me. The guy next to me got the hat. true story I was at this Draft as well and sat behind fireman Ed, got on TV for a few minutes when he led the cheers. Mike F walked the line beforehand, was fun chatting with him. You are right about Boomer we got the uncensored feed on the FM radio giveaway and it was a blast to listen to… was a fun time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Canceled my reservation at the Cosmopolitan and will be at Paris with a view of the Bellagio fountains. FYI - Rates aren't too horrible if you're a Caesar's Total Rewards member. Based on the recently announced schedule and map it looks like the two main areas are the Red Carpet at the Bellagio Fountains and the NFL Draft Experience which appears to be tucked in the big parking lot behind The Flamingo, Harrah's and the LINQ. This looks like it will be a pretty elaborate setup but I can say that as of last week there were no signs of anything being staged in that parking lot and nothing at the Bellagio Fountains yet (I was in Las Vegas for a work event at the Sands Expo Center last week). Pretty much any hotel in the vicinity will work for people if you're still considering attending and thinking about where to stay, all in walking distance. Pro Tip - Request a high floor if you actually want to get some sleep at night. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Started making a few lunch/dinner reservations. Not that it's particularly hard to find a place for a bite but I'm expecting it could be a mob scene on Thursday and Friday evening at restaurants just before and just after the Draft. So if you're looking for a "good meal" at a nice place I'd suggest hitting Open Table or contacting restaurants directly. Reminder that the Draft starts at 5PM local time in Vegas on Thursday so I'm taking the wife to a late lunch at a steak place we like so that we're done at least an hour before the Draft. Round 2 on Friday starts at 4PM local time so I'm booking a late dinner at one of our favorite Italian places that night at 9PM. Can always cancel.

Good advice in here. I have to plan all that out, getting in Wednesday night. Pretty pumped, I haven't been out of the house in like 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They try to give rooms away in Vegas. You only pay high rates booking with short notice.

We should probably get some type of thread going in the Draft forum specific for those attending in-person. I'm taking the wife to a nice lunch and then probably going over to that Draft Experience setup behind Harrah's and The LINQ. It's free for fans but you need to register in the app ahead of time as @Maxman noted earlier in the thread. I think using a thread or a private group message here might be the best way to coordinate a general area to meetup. I'll pretty much be saying hi to any other Jets fans I see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drink and I will gamble but its not a huge deal for me. So I will set aside x amount and when it is done I am fine not chasing it if I lose. Not partying saves a ton of $. I think I don't drink simply because I am cheap sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
