Re: Las Vegas

I actually go to UNLV (where the Las Vegas Regional is being held, for anyone who doesn't know) and know the area very well. I would try looking at the Hard Rock casino first, it's really close to the university (probably closest, in fact), and I know they've offered deals to FRC teams in the past. There's also the Embassy Suites on Swenson Ave., which is probably the second closest one to the Thomas and Mac Center. Then there's Terrible's Casino, right behind the Atomic Testing Museum, also very close. Anything beyond that and you start to approach the boundry of walking distance. Also, I know that in the past, the school has offered unused dorm rooms to FRC teams, but I don't know if there are any this year.
