That reminds me! There's an arcade in Vegas with a bunch of bemani.

It is about 7 miles away, and our weekend is already pretty booked. What do you think?

EDIT: Looks like this might be where Brian is going.

I was literally just about to post that link.

I am absolutely up for it. It may have to be a me and you thing Chad since Riot and Kevin will have their hands full of fighting games.

Fucking Resort Anthem and DM V6? Sign me the fuck up.

I'll be at the Las Vegas Hilton. Gemini is the site of USPF, so I'll get that place warmed up for you guys. :)

Hey since you'll be hanging out with and idly watching Jason Dread win USPF, can you direct him to this thread?

You already know what is is before you even click on it.

We could make time for it on Monday or something. I'd love to play more Technika 2, Taiko, and IIDX.

It seems he has already found it. And unless something has changed, I don't believe Jason will be attending USPF this year.

That's weird. Why not? Is the prize pool not enough to justify travel expenses? He's obviously a shoe-in for 1st place.

The event announcement came just 3 weeks and 2 days before the event. I believe he (and many others) either already had plans or is unable to travel on such short notice due to scheduling and/or financial reasons.

Something that Jason did indicate about USPF is that the winner may not get a chance to go to WPF due to how little time there is to get the necessary passport and visa for it.

We are 38 days away from EVO. Good lord, get hype! I am so incredibly excited for this trip that I am pretty much doomed for disappointment.

I am literally going to sneak out at night and play poker at Caesar's Palace while Riot sits downstairs mucking it up with smelly people, Chad goes between hanging out with Riot and admiring the Rio's architecture, and Kevin drinks himself silly and makes loud comments at other people.

I feel like we all have different agendas for this trip. I just want to eat at a lot of buffets, play cards and not sleep.

The groupon for Las Vegas today is for a delectable joint at The Palazzo that I'd like to try out.

http://www.groupon.com/las-vegas/deals/ ... 26e6bf7681

I'll get the groupon if someone else wants to go with me. There's nothing more pathetic than a dude eating at a sit-down restaurant by himself.

Here's the menu: http://www.palazzo.com/uploadedFiles/Th ... esMenu.pdf

I'd get the buffalo wings and the kobe beef burger.

I think I'm the only one who really just wants to be around, oh, you know, the main event. There's gotta be good matches to watch on other days than just finals. I just wanna make sure I'm around for more EVO moment #37s. Meals are fine and all but I'd rather plan around EVO not buffet schedules :)

True, but you gotta eat. I'll pass on the burger place though. You can get a good enough burger in Indiana.

Check out what I got for $8 last night. Smart.

Edit: SMB tables.
