I can’t believe that anybody that can go to this, is weighing up if they should go or not.

The only reason I’m not going is I don’t have the money.

If I had the money, it’d have already been booked.

I wouldn't even if I had the money and time. Vegas just isn't big on my list of places to travel. If I had the money to travel there, I'd spend it going elsewhere.

Also, I see the sharks play regularly at home. Doing something I can do overseas that I could do at home isn't a big draw card. If I was in the states my priority would be getting to some of their sports rather than an NRL game.

From an NRL watching perspective I'd rather magic round than vegas.

Mate, it comes down to everyone's personal preference. I've been to Vegas, albeit quite some time ago, and it's nothing special.
Just because you'd go in a heartbeat doesn't mean everyone else should.

I'd love to go to Lords one day and watch a Test Match but just because I do, doesn't mean I think everyone else should.

I think there are few people who just "have the money" though... even those who can pay for it, you're still trading something else off for it, even if just some other holiday.

Yeah to me I think it would be a bit like Magic Round. Probably mainly Aussies/Kiwis/Poms at the stadium this year. And I prefer Vegas at the height of summer. So at this stage I think not worth it for me. But still keeping an eye on it... and if I won the lottery I'd be there :)

Just saying the most awkward interaction I have ever had is with wade when I'm getting him to sign the NSW jersey I got done and he goes yeah mate I know all about you.

The bigger issue was the open fly / raging boner combo if we are honest with ourselves

Yep, this is the case for me. My wife even suggested it, as it's pretty close to a milestone birthday (21 cough...), but travelling to Vegas for a footy match isn't really on the bucket list. But if you won the lottery I'd still go with you ;)

I would like to go see something at The Dome... that looks incredible.

Honestly I've been through Vegas on the way to other places in the US and it is literally just a desert sh*thole with some f**king casinos in it. That's it. That's all it is. The only reason it exists and is as big as it is is gambling. You want to do anything else? Go to some other part of the world.
