OK....clearly, as of the time of writing the Lord Des of Duff has not yet announced a S6 schedule so this thread is just for staking a claim.

I will, DEFINITELY, being heading to Vegas in 2012...probably in November and, whether this fits in with the plans of others is a matter for them. If we can only achieve a small fraction of the hilarity that ensued in 2011 it'll be epic.

I have very tentative thoughts of making the visit in early November as I have a friend (some of you may know Jim Lynott) who is planning on heading our to LA (not Vegas...that's coming) for the Breeders Cup which will be returning to Santa Anita this year.

This will be 2nd & 3rd (Fri/Sat) of November. From there, he is, as I said, tentatively, thinking of driving to Las Vegas (told you) perhaps by way of Laughlin.

This probably wont be a grand repeat of the 2009 Grand Tour (read more HERE) but if you followed that link it might give you some idea.

Me, I'll be going for two weeks whether falling in line with Jim or not but here's some food for thought. If you like horse racing...there you are.

We stay at the Commerce Casino which is also a Crowne Plaza hotel (same group at Holiday Inn) and this is only a few minutes drive from the Bicycle Casino.

Frankly, a two or three days/nights was enough for me but these should be experienced if you have the time.

Laughlin, a whole other vibe from Vegas and yet, only a couple of hours drive away and a whole lot cheaper.

Food for thought.

Sigh, my Vegas plans are for June and WSOP season.

Don't think a prospective employer will be too happy if I try and claim 4 weeks holiday before I even start :p

You should investigate some sort of 'xmas club' type operation Paulie.  People deposit £10 or £20 per week and you manage the fund.  Block book everything and enjoy the economies of scale.
