 I just booked a 5 1/2 hour trip to Las Vegas 

Thanks to Spirit Airlines which Ive never flown and havent heard great things about but its only $77.38 RT, so why not?

Here is my itinerary

Sat. Feb 25, 2012

11:15am: Depart SAN

12:31pm: Arrive LAS

1245pm: Cab to Thomas and Mack

1pm: UNLV vs Air Force Basketball Game

3:15-5:00pm: PT's or Paradise Cantina for drinks after the game with friends.

5pm head to the airport

6:00pm Depart LAS

7:00pm: Arrive SAN

730pm Meet up with my wife for drinks and dinner in our downtown San Diego neighborhood.

If the flight leaving San Diego is delayed by more than 45 minutes Ill just eat the $77 and not even get on the flight.

Have a good time.

Not sure on Alligants policy but if ur delay is long enough that it causes you to miss a meeting or an event you can declare a "trip-in-vain". Once that is done you can either get a credit towards future travel or in some cases you money refunded.

Could be a problem getting a cab from PTs or the Cantina, otherwise a great plan to watch a great team win another one and get a ranking below the teens, #12 maybe! Are you the guy holding up Wayne Newton's cutout face?, lol

Ill just have a friend drop me off at the airport rather than call a cab. Yeah Ive waited 45 minutes for a cab at PT's from PC Id just walk across the street to the HArd Rock and grab one there

Not me in the Student section but they were great this past Sat. In addition to all of the Fat Heads (Wayne, Jerry Tarkanian, Mike Tyson, Larry Johnson, etc) they had some great signs like STDSU instead of SDSU. Flavor Flav also was there and went and sat in the Student Section. Here is a picture from a Yahoo article about the student section. Its Flav with the STDSU sign in the back ground.

We are now ranked #11 in the Nation in both polls but have 2 road games this week where we arent nearly as good as at home, so Im very nervous especially against UNM on Sat which is a 10am PST tip. I hate those early road games.

Ha Ha, the Flav looks almost "normal" in that crowd. I missed seeing the new #11 ranking so that is great news. I have that Saturday off work and am wondering if I can still grab a ticket but it's probably a sell out.
