Thoughts from Las Vegas….

1. Tons of Steelers fans all weekend every where, concerts, Casinos and the game.
2. Raiders put out these ****ty Raider towels on seats, what a joke. When I left I
saw about 13 grey towels in the trash can.
3. 1ST drive was scary, but Steelers took over. Watt causing turnovers, huge when they occurred!
4. My wife and I were the only Steeler fans in a club box filled with Raider fans. I asked her where did she get these tickets, a Raider fan from work OMG!
5. When those penalties were called against the Raiders people around us were pissed. After the 4th quarter only 5 people left in the box, LOL
6. Fields made some good decisions and the beat them with his feet.
7. Najee had a great game what a TD run.
8. Boz money as usual and a blocked punt, wow.
9. Eagles at the sphere was good, Garth at Ceasers top 3 concerts I have ever been at. Allegiant is a great stadium, highly recommend it as an away destination.
10. Wife hit $3,200 on the slots, got a nice bottle of wine for dinner.

 

9 : I bet the Eagles was great at the sphere!.. We visited the Sphere last year and the planet earth show was cool.. but i wasn't impressed with the AI bots... We plan on going to Wrestlemania next year in Vegas depending on ticket prices... So many cool things to see in Vegas,

 

5. Since December 23, 1972 I have never thought about leaving a Steelers game early

That game was also against the Raiders

The real Raiders the ones from Oakland

 

yeah the sphere is something else, they extend the Eagles tour through Feb 2025.

 

I hear ya JEH! These “Raider fans” were leaving that box like crazy. By the beginning of fourth quarter we were stretching out, so much room. Talk about enemy territory, 13-2 in that box, LOL.

 

We went to Vega$ last year for the game. It was at least 70% Steelers fans there. I was standing in line with a huge Oakland Raiders fan and I told him that it was a mistake moving them again and especially to Vegas. I said your team will never truly have a home game. I took $900 to gamble with and came home with $700. I considered that a win.

 

exactly right. I was watching local media here and they were talking about not having a home field advantage and embarrassed by the Steeler Nation. One guy I was talking to was originally from Oakland and said this would never happened there. He did say though, no one travels like Pittsburgh, maybe Dallas, it was painful for him to say that.

 

looked like we had more fans there than at our home games.

 

I think we talked to the same guy. Was he about 6’6”? I also told him that I didn’t think twice about going to Vegas but in no way would I have gone to Oakland. BTW. Places we will not travel to are limited to Philadelphia, Baltimore and possibly Cleveland. At least the dog pound part of the stadium anyways.

 

Ok I have never had any desire to go to Vegas but you two have convinced me that the next time the Steelers play there I should give it a shot

 

I’m not big on gambling but I have been to Tahoe and Reno

like you did I set aside a certain amount of money to gamble

I consider it an entertainment cost just like a football ticket

 

There is so much to do outside of gambling in and around Vegas. We spent more time going to national parks and state parks than we did on the strip. Hoover Damn and Valley of Fire were great.

 

Baltimore is a trash city,. I ran decking there when I was 20- 21 years old
.total trash city

 

Red Rocks is pretty too. Btw, as someone who works on building dams for a living you only call them damns when they fail...LOL. Yes Hoover is amazing, especially when you consider the technology at the time they built it.

 

We didn't have that technology yet. It was built by aliens! Lol

 

We went to Vegas in early 2000’s I think 5 couples, had a great time hardly ever gambled. Went to Valley of Fire, took a helicopter ride out to Hoover damn, landed for lunch in the middle of the desert and then flew home at night over the strip. The pilot told us he was a chopper pilot from Vietnam guy was great, flew nose down over the Hoover dam oh man great trip. We also rented a pontoon boat at Lake Mead, that was totally out of hand! All day hanging out on the lake!

 

Now with my luck it will be 12 years until we play there again

 

I have relatives in Cleveland who are Browns fans. I suggested my wife and I should go there and go to a game with them. They didn’t think that was a good idea.

 

You like concerts? They built the best indoor venue there, Sphere!
