Mark Vader Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 probably watch it along with the puppy bowl like always. Sundays I try to be in the house by 7. Heck, I do not even know if the Super Bowl is this weekend or next... How can you watch the Puppy Bowl, now that Harry Kalas is no longer with us?

Maury Ballstein Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Taking my annual trip to Vegas for the Super Bowl. Did not go last year, first time I missed it in six years. Really missed it. Going with 4 of my friends. My one friend got a 3 bedroom suite at the Flamingo. Never stayed there so not sure how nice it is there but hey the price was right, which is to say it was free so I can't complain. Cashed in my frequent flyer miles so my ticket was also free so this trip has cost me nothing that is to say until I hit the crap/blackjack tables Friday afternoon. For the Super Bowl we got tickets to the Flamingos super bowl party. Not sure what that is all about. It is on one of their top floors I believe & my friend that got the tickets said it is open bar & they have a ton of food so I guess we are going to do that. All day Saturday we will hang out at the sports book in the Mirage & when I say all day I mean all day. We will get there probably 8:30 am & not leave until the Gonzaga/San Diego game is done which will probably be around 10:30 pm or so. I will probably bet about $1,500 worth of college basketball games that Saturday. Should be a nice little weekend. Looking forward to it. nice....i stayed at flamingo twice......nothing wrong with it at all.....perfect location.....your room will overlook the bellagio fountains.........half the price of the big boy high dollar casinos........oldest casino there i believe.....kept up just fine IMO.

Methinks there will be drinking on the roof, a tiger, a stolen police car, and Mike Tyson involved. Or was that a movie I saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'll be out of the country and have already made a reservation to watch it an American sports bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So was it a cool experience (aside from being outside of Australia, which instantly makes everything cool )? We'll be on the east coast, sailing down from New York City on Sunday, so should get the US feed I would assume. Not really, other than the unlimited food. It's basically watching the SB in a movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 nice....i stayed at flamingo twice......nothing wrong with it at all.....perfect location.....your room will overlook the bellagio fountains.........half the price of the big boy high dollar casinos........oldest casino there i believe.....kept up just fine IMO. Yeah can't bneat the location, that area especially across the street is my favorite part of the strip. We usually stay at Harrah's because my father-in-law always gets me a couple free rooms but my friend came thru with the suite at the Flamingo thru his work so we decided to try that out. Harrah's is nothing special but they always treated us pretty good & I do kind of like their sports book. My wife told me she loves the Flamingo's pool(she stayed there a few years back with some of her friends) but most of the pools are not even open that time of year(temps are usually only around 60. My wife always tells me why don't you & your friends go there when the weather is nicer & I always tell her because we love betting college basketball & there is too much drinking to be done to worry about going swimming.

Fezmid Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not really, other than the unlimited food. It's basically watching the SB in a movie theater. Just got back from the cruise (and subsequent NYC vacation). It was kind of cool watching the Superbowl with all of the different people. They also gave out pompoms and football clappers to everyone which was kind of fun. The food was underwhelming; I was expecting pizza and wings, but neither were served. We started watching the game on the CBS feed, but it kept cutting in and out. I thought the theater was going to revolt and take over the ship. They claimed it was due to "military bases" on the coast, but that makes absolutely no sense since the signal was cutting in and out the entire trip. They eventually switched the feed to... ESPN India. It was the same CBS broadcast, but instead of watching the US commercials, I got to watch the same 5 commercials advertising cricket and soccer... Wheee.... Sat next to a guy who was a Raven's fan... He was a Jet's fan, but since they've been playing poorly, he's now rooting for the Ravens. He even had a Ray Lewis jersey. How do people switch like that? I don't get it. He was psyched at the end, before the safety, because if the score stayed that way he would've won $500. Then Baltimore took the safety and screwed him out of the money. He was not pleased. I say karma for switching teams. Overall, Superbowl on the ship was ok, but I wouldn't do it for a game I cared about (ie: Buffalo). Now I'll have to go online and find the commercials and see if there were any good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
