Being the big 'curb fan...

Was wondering if anyone else out there is planning on attending :

AN EVENING OF CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM WITH RICHARD LEWIS, SUSIE ESSMAN & JEFF GARLIN (Yeah, I know... no Larry David --- but, it still is going to be an awesome show !)

HOB at Showboat AC is pretty cool --- and the Foundation Room is really nice. With the Diamond Lounge open till midnight --- this is a great party/meet location. (and then we have Foundation Room and Casbah @ Taj till around 4AM)

If there is enough interest, I "might" be persuaded into securing a block of tickets..... The HOB AC is located in the Showboat Hotel and Casino --- I've already grabbed my COMP room online -- but, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a good room rate for folks; IF we act early.....

man I just wanna have you show me some video poker..... i don't really know how to 'play' it (to win, that is)

i'm one hour away and I don't think I have any scheduled that day but I'll probably be broke.. going to vegas 2 weeks prior (^ ^) and London that wednesday....

So this is Larry David stories and anecdotes from these three?

I'd love to see it, especially Susie Essman - brilliant!
Sydney has Star City, so fly them over here, after they do it in Las Vegas.

Thanks for the offer. ^

Well.. It is basically a LIVE show based on 'curb (without Larry David). Other than that, I don't really know that much. It doesn't seem to be highly publicized (yet); and the HOB is not a hugh venue --- so, it should be a great opportunity to get "up close and personal." As an aside, the Showboat is a pretty neat property which offers great gaming and a lot of style. It is also situated off the boardwalk, in walking distance to the other properties in AC. I hosted a party recently in a House of Blues Suite --- and they are VERY SWEET. The Foundation Room at Showboat is also quite nice.

I think I'm going to "grab" some extra tickets later this week --- then, as we get closer... at least I'll have tiks if folks become interested.

If you haven't been to AC recently --- things have changed quite a bit.

Other things of interest off the boardwalk (in walking distance) are :
The Pier at Caesars
The Quarter at the Tropicana
The Walk Shopping in AC

I'm contacting some of my folks, and will try to secure some extra rooms (at a reasonable $) at Showboat for the Saturday night. AC is super busy on Fri/Sat nights, but the fall is much easier to deal with than summer.

I'll report back in a few days ! --- but, it is great to see some folks are interested !

Would love to go and sure the woman would too but published room rates are too high to justify the excursion. If a group rate or something is avail let me know.

kingalien

Arrrghh, if this was in LAS I probably would have made it.

baccarat_king

HEY ! NK has that new non-stop from LAS-ACY.... no excuse !

kingalien

Uh, you're not having Borgata send a private jet for me .

baccarat_king

You too good for NK We can always get you a BIG FRONT SEAT™

now, isn't that better than a private jet to Borgata with the babes....

kingalien

Well now you've really piqued my interest , extremely low odds I can get over there, I'll see, really doubt it though .

Any updates or news?

Only a group of around 10-15 of us AC regulars. There didn't seem to be too much [Flyertalk] interest, so I didn't really pursue things.

So far, I have 2 ticks to the 'curb show and "expect" but don't have locked up yet another 4 ticks.

In addition, Sheryl Crow will be at Caesars on Saturday night. For anyone interested, the HET Offer Code : 17FYH 1.800.942.7724, PRESS 6 (just call w/ your HET account # handy). I grabbed 2 ticks for Saturday night, since on of my buddys was not very interested in the 'curb show; so there should be decent availability for COMP tickets over the next few days.

If anyone is interested, I can try to book an extra room or two. Last I checked, the "extra room" rate I was able to get for Saturday night at Harrah's (marina) was around $80. It probably has gone up a bit, but I don't mind double checking.

Our current plans for the 20th (subject to change, of course) :

- College Football in a Suite with an open bar provided by us (location TBD)
- Meet up at the Showboat Diamond Lounge pre-'Curb show (we should have some extra Diamond folks who can guest people into the lounge)
- 'Curb show
- Meet up after the 'Curb show TBD (but, will probably involve a bit of group Video Poker play)

civicmon

definitely out.

I just got back from vegas this afternoon and I need to rest my body and my bank account though I did do better than I budgeted for.

Plus we're having a family party that night.... so it's a no-go unless I drag my cousins with me which would involve entirely too much alcohol since I know that's how we are

Have a good time.

so, are you going to share the Vegas moments.

Did you score the upgrade at Bally's?
