I'm planning on going to NBA All-Star game in Feb 2007. Have you guys seen the prices for this? Crazy as hell.....but I'm still going:


ACTIVITIES / EVENTS: THOMAS & MACK CENTER / MANDALAY BAY HOTEL
26
27 ROOKIE GAME $ 350.00 THOMAS & MACK 2.86 MILES FROM HOTEL
28 3PT SLAM DUNK $ 450.00 "
29 ALL STAR MORNING PRACTICE $ 40.00 MANDALAY BAY HOTEL - .96 MILES FROM HOTEL
30 ALL STAR CELEBRITY GAME $ 40.00 "

_____

Well, taking it into perspective, what if this was Prince and Larry G and GCS and Tamar and The TIME in Vegas for a three-day weekend funkfest?

Oh, wait, that did happen, over Memorial Day weekend .

Anyway, I find it very interesting the NBA is playing for the first time in a non-NBA city for the annual all-star game. Hey, all the stars will be out for this one -- on the court and off the court. It's a great move by the NBA, but I am hoping this is just a one-time thing.




The cool thing is that in 2008, the NBA heads to New Orleans, with or without the New Orleans Hornets. The NBA has committed to the rebirth of New Orleans since the devestation of Hurricane Katrina.

When you add the cost for the kids, wife, plane, suite, etc.....YIKES.

Is Vegas getting a team or something?
