    Anyone have recommendations?

    Hard Rock is closest to UNLV, where they play. Haven't stayed there yet. It is off strip so you can get away from the craziness. Short cab ride. all the usuals are fun. Vegas is just crazy expensive now. Considering the low amount of time one actually spends in a room, going cheap is not a bad plan any longer.

    If you go to Priceline.com and click on Bundle & Save, you can find very cheap hotel/flight packages. Summer League is fun. I went to the Luke Babbitt year and the Anfernee Simons year. Fun fun fun. You can meet everyone from Woj to players to scouts, coaches, and GMs. Plus- go to the casinos, NBA players everywhere. My brother played craps with Bonzi Wells last year.

    I have a time share that I was able to get rooms with. Not too far from Mack Center or the Strip.

    What are the dates and is there any way to confirm early if Sharpe will be playing or not?
    This is extremely intriguing!

    The rides at stratosphere are fun, esp the one that dangles you off the top of the building as it rotates, such a cool way to see vegas

    It's actually Virgin Hotels now. Hard Rock sold the location and bought The Mirage property. Virgin Hotels is nice. I've stayed there a couple of times.

    I never do roller coasters, but I did the Stratosphere roller coaster back in the day. It was pretty cool.

    Watching what could have been our draft pick drop 30 against us while the decent player we got for him is sitting court side with Dame will most likely be the straw

    I’m actually trying to go. I’d love to meet you all. I just won’t say who I am that way I can laugh when you post how you met this really engaging and funny guy, while bashing me in the forum.

    Yep. Vegas Summer League is pretty fun. You have to be careful though. You never know who you're going to run into -
    @KingSpeed, @THE HCP
    Some famous people, and some not-so-famous people -

    It’s a solid plan, but no one would believe you are engaging and funny

    Those pics are a variable cornucopia of random.

    Why on earth you’d want a pick with the father of a future women’s soccer star is baffling

    No, but you would get punched in the face pretty fast, which would be quite the engaging and funny story. ;)
