Or, pay $100 to skip the line, find a decent spot in the main area where they have several huge bars with the best bar tenders turning over the line, then when it's gets too crowded in the main room, slide over to the Heart(hip hop room) and crush there.

Bottle service at Omnia. Lol. Would have to be a special occasion for that. You're talking some serious $$ for a group we're taking. Plus most of the dudes just drink beer.

Gotta have 1 club night, bubbly. Especially if no pools. We'll have plenty of time at the book. Hopefully we have something to bet on Friday. The new Cosmo Sportsbook is great. Not real big but they have draft Bud Light, shuffle board and the craps automated game is right outside of it.

Like I said, if the majority goes, I'm in.

I'll believe it when I see it that the rest of the crew (not named Schembean) is going to shell out $200 to enter a club, then another several hundred to stand around in a raging club scene at midnight, 2am, or whatever after crushing all day and a huge dinner.


-Push the button...PUSH THE BUTTON!. I hate that machine.

THE OMNIA EXPERIENCE

EXPLORATION.
STIMULATION.
THE MAXIMIZATION OF YOUR SENSES.

Fearless in your search of the undiscovered
Courageous in the face of the unfamiliar
Fueled by the prospect of provocation
OMNIA becomes your journey.

OPULENT.
TIMELESS.
INVITING.
FLIRTATIOUS.

OMNIA doesn’t require sameness
Need not be the person others expect
Need not be a reflection of your job
Need not be a type, part of a category, or a fit to a mold.

OMNIA doesn’t expect you to be the person
You were yesterday
You were today.

Be you
Be present
Be ready for the journey.





















So you guys doing drugs or nah?

If you're just drinking beer, vodka, you shouldn't drop another several hundred.

PTI, AP, Beans(assuming their peeps), DUI Mike, Me are the ones that have said they're going so far. I think we have to be there by 12a.

Plus you and I have to wait in the ridiculous line for that secret pizza junt at 3a.

^ which is really 3am. Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it. I give my wife about a 2% chance, regardless. I won't get left out of anything fun whether I really want to go or not, that's not in my DNA -- you know that.

No, Bob.

-We'll be there 24 hours by then. Should be fully recovered. Plus a double espresso and a couple rbvs. ;) We'll be paying for it Saturday.. but touch it. The crew in Vegas [cheers][jumpingsmile] stop poopooing it.

Lol, yes. Last year when he made 4 people in a row buy an entire roll of tape each for their one package that needed 1 piece of tape. Wasn't really that, which is ridiculous, it was the satisfaction he got out of being an ***. I bought an entire roll and told him I'm leaving it so the people after me don't have to each buy a roll. He's a douche bag. USPS is a joke.
Oh, well he's got plenty of tape up there. More on that later.

I went to pay with a credit card today. In all seriousness, I usually bring cash there because my credit card has worn down to where you can't read the numbers, and you have to look at it the right way in the light to see the texture; he makes such a stink about how he can't read it. But no matter what, he makes you hand him your card instead of just telling him the last 4 digits of the card, "for security reasons." Got PISSED at me once for just telling him the digits.

Anyway I was always told to never sign your credit cards. That way, if they're stolen, a thief can't mimic your signature. If your card isn't signed, the cashier is prompted to check your license if they actually give a **** (90% of the time, they don't); and if you never sign your cards you definitely aren't on the hook for any unauthorized purchases. Overall, no big deal, but considering I've lost numerous credit cards it seems like a good idea.

*Hand him the card*
*Turns over card*
"Card isn't signed."
"Yeah, here's my license."
"Here's a marker. Sign your card."
"No, you can just compare to my license."
"No, it's the law, you sign your card or I won't take your payment."
"I don't think that's the law. I don't sign my card for security reasons, that way you're prompted to check my license."
"See here how it says card isn't valid without a signature? It's not valid. You have a point, but that only benefits you, not the credit card company. And besides, all clerks are required to check your license and your credit card signature on every purchase anyway."
"…yeah, nobody does that. And you just admitted it doesn't benefit me to sign my card, so why should I?"
"It doesnt benefit you at all, but if you ever want to use a credit card at this post office, you will sign your card. New policy and it isn't going away."
"Whatever. I think that's ridiculous."
"Here's the marker."
"I don't want to waste the time of the people in line behind me, but I'm wiping it off the second I get home."
"Now if your signature that you write on that card doesn't match your license I'm confiscating your license." *smiles smugly*
"You definitely aren't allowed to do that. This is stupid." *signs card*
*Takes card, pulls out packaging tape dispenser* "Annnnd here we'll just tape over your signature so it won't smudge off. That way your fingers stay clean and it always stays on!" *smiles 10x more smugly*
"are we done here?"
"Let me see those last 4 digits."
:mad:

As I was walking out he decided to loudly announce to the whole line "their" new policy. Jackass.

7. Andrew Harrison, Memphis Grizzlies
Last week: No. 9

What an instant contribution under pressure. His first two games as the starting point guard after Mike Conley’s back injury resulted in 21 points on seven-for-12 shooting, including four of five behind the arc, at Toronto and 11 points on four-for-eight shooting against the Magic. Even returning to his usual problems from the field – six of 29 the next three games – couldn’t diminish how Harrison responded while first in the class in assists, minutes and steals, second in assist-to-turnover ratio and ninth in scoring and blocks.

Nobody gives free tape anymore. UPS quit being nice well before the USPS because they are not a failing business. Someone who gets snow removed from their damn lawn should understand that.

UPS tapes for free if you're paying for shipping and $1 if you have a label. They don't force you to buy an $8 roll of packaging tape. Didn't mind paying for it. It was his rubbing it in with 4 people in a row. If they were still doing it is was going to ride up there tomorrow and buy 5 rolls to leave on the counter for my neighbors to use.

I'm pretty sure no one checks the license to compare your signature, they do it to make sure your name matches on both and that you are the person on the ID. I do this 100s of times a day and never once has anyone ever said anything about comparing signatures.

My advice, write "CID" on the back. I always ask for an ID then, but to be fair people always say, "You're the first one to ask me that since we got down here."

-Mummies concert tonight per Dr. Boat's advice, looking forward to it.

-And no @drxman1 two dudes on a scooter isn't a thing here. Me and some buds just did it because it's pretty effing funny. Also, those "Solar Shields" sunglasses I have on are flat sick.

[laughing]

Really, though, why in the **** are you or anyone else in here who deals with him putting up with this?

You allowed this guy to force you to sign one of your credit cards with a magic marker, wrap the card in packing tape, threaten to confiscate your license, and you didn't even ask to talk to a supervisor? No.

I thought this was GYERO. Act like it.

Just got a little chuckle while thinking about a college crew rendezvous in Vegas. Late 30s parents/marrieds. Reliving the glory years and awkwardly white people dancing to hip hop.

The bellydancers are also in for the club, as is Superlurker and my cousin Trav and his woman.



The Original Wodie Crew will be together all weekend drinking, eating, gamboling, and watching the Cats.


Still say false on this masssive club crew, and willing to book bets.

You're talking about going to a mega club, which costs $200 per couple to ENTER, and no telling what to have fun after that -- at what equates to 2-3am (walking in the door) at home after a day of drinking capped by a huge drunken & FAT dinner -- by a bunch of old marrieds with children. Bayens can't even make it to a postgame tailgate, Burgan loathes the idea of such a club, as does Ursch -- but the contrarian in him makes him at least possible. Plus, he has NOLA training, so he may be up for it, idk

...and the game is at noon the next day. Which means everyone will be completely worthless.

This club idea is the least important thing about the trip to me, but the most important to SchemBeans, which is funny. If I'm wrong, I'll eat the crow -- but I won't be.

Spending $300-$500 at 2am is not desirable for your average old and non-rich married loser. Anth is going to really have to put his rich/generous man game on to make this happen like he envisions, TS.

What I'm talking about was like it was to get Killa to come to Two Keys or Varsity Poon in college. :100points:

Super drama and struggle. My dude hates fun and wild times -- but I'm with him on this one.

While I appreciate the whole I MUST USE A POINTS CARD AT TIMES mindset, I can't imagine not having access to a ATM/debit card. If for no other reason, it's pretty much a necessity to be able to withdrawal funds overseas in the local currency.

Made at least 20 trips to Vegas and I think I've been to a club all of one, maybe two times. I certainly understand the allure, but I'm usually preoccupied with gambol and golf. Throw in a Cirque show to keep the lass happy, and everybody wins.
