Interested in a Las Vegas, NV Regional?
Hey everyone - right now there are 10 teams in Nevada, and most definetly more next year (we plan to mentor a new FIRST team). Teams from Cali, Nev., and Ariz., would be the teams most likely to attend a Las Vegas regional. Does anyone think it could be done and are there any teams that would possibly be interested? If teams are interested, lets get FIRST to possibly do one. Keep in mind that Las Vegas always has cheap airfare and hotel rooms and is easily driven to from CA and AZ. The University of Nevada Las Vegas, has a great stadium that the event could be held at. There are also other stadiums in the hotels, such as the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Maybe MGM could sponsor it.... Thanks.
If you vote, please post and say why you voted the way you did and where you are from. thanks Dave T-987, Las Vegas, NV 2003 AZ semifiinalist and Xerox Creativity Award Winner 2002 Championship Einstein Div. Highest Rookie Seed |
Team 980 is interested in a Las Vegas Regional. We are based in S. Calif.
Looking back over the season, I really appreciate the Arizona Regional. We had 11 matches in the qualifying rounds and the organization of the event was excellent. We would like to see more regionals like that, and Las Vegas could be it. Hopefully a regional in Nevada would not be back to back with the Arizona Regional. We will also be looking at going to Sacramento next year. |
A Las Vegas Regional would be really fun to go to. Las Vegas can be a rather cheap town for tourists. However, I am sure there is some reserve with the idea of bringing lots of high school students to "Sin City."
I am sure my team would give the Las Vegas Regional a chance if it was offered. |

I voted "maybe", because despite how much i would luv to go to a regional in vegas, my mom...well, has other opinions. She told me that there is no way she would ever let me go to vegas, even if it was with robotics. EVEN IF SHE WENT WITH ME!! I think that may be one of the dilemas... parental consent.:rolleyes:

It's a good idea, but I know my team would never go that far for a regional. I'm sure there would be no trouble getting enough teams there, though. Yes, Vegas does have negative connotations, but why not try to bring something inspiring and positive like FIRST?

Las Vegas
When my mom told me that they were thinking about having a regional in Vegas I GOT SO EXCITED! I lived there for nine years and would move back in a second if i go the chance. I know my team, well most of my team, from the sound of it RobotchickBree wasn't interested, would jump at the chance to go to Vegas!!! ROAD TRIP!! LOL. That would be so great and you guys tottally have my support. If we do that do you have any idea how many places there are for socials!!! Let's see, there is Wet'n'wild, Buffalo Bills, Circus Circus, MGM. OMG, I hope you guys go through with it!

I was too... MARY!!:mad: ... it's my mom that was not interested... very, very, VERY not interested.
|
Then what did you mean by Going Vegas wouldn't look good on FIRST's part?:confused:
|
mary, you're not gonna like this, but no matter how much you love Vegas, the rest of the planet may... well... not.
Does "Sin City" ring a bell? But i also said that i could possibly be a good thing... the world may never know (just like the world may never know how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a toosie pop?);) I WUV WU MARY!! *MUAH* |

IM me anytime @ JoeAssMan22 on AIM or email me superdave611@aol.com talk to other teams about it too... dave -team 987 |
Dude, total stereotype, ok, there may be somethings that the world doesn't like, but it is just the same as any other place in the world. I think there is no need to single it out.
|
I know Mary, I know. unfortunately not everyone else does. that's the problem.
I'm sure that if there ever was to be some sort of FIRST event in Vegas, there would be no problem getting plenty of teams to go. There may even be too many that want to go. So i wouldn't worry about it. Gosh taking it so personally.:( |
I know, i am just homesick, I am sorry! I LOVE YOU BREE! MUAH, i will give you a hug on Monday. Love!
