Re: FRC Blogged - Blog Clarification

I will certainly step up and say that the Las Vegas Regional was a bunch of fun for our team when we went a few years back. It is a natural if you have to fly because often the airfares are very reasonable. We found a local hotel that was nice and reasonable in cost also.

We made some great friends there and always keep an eye on that regional.
The only reason we have not been back is that our state has been adding new regionals and we have been trying to support all of them.

To be honest, other than a few flyers littering the streets, the event was no different at all from any others. The "shady" nature of Las Vegas is mostly hype and as long as you have proper chaperones ... it is a great place to play!

I would encourage any team to look into it. The people running the regional are warm and cordial and you will feel right at home.
