The Las Vegas Thread

[Perth Red]

Vegas prices are nuts, costing us $2500 for 6 nights at not particularly flash places. Meals are $40+ tax + tips so your looking at $50+ for a main course alone. Cocktail $37 plus tax and tips so around $45! Being a tight yorkshireman Ive been scouring the interweb for cheap food and drink options!

Do we know what the running order of the games is yet?

Hull KR will wear a traditional red band jersey for Vegas with some special editions for the game.
'A special limited edition version of our 2026 Home Shirt with the Super League Las Vegas logo, USA Flag, and game details will go on sale in November. This shirt will match exactly what the Hull KR First Team will wear at the Allegiant Stadium in February 2026.'

i'm doing 5 nights at the Luxor and it was only $1.5k in total so there's cheaper options out there, you just have to look.

Food is also a plethora of cheaper options, have a look at Guy Fieri's, they do a $19 all you can eat brunch, cover 2 meals with that and grab dinner somewhere and you're all sorted.

So you’ve paid $300 a night for a 3 star hotel (being generous) at far end of strip lol.

Sure there’s cheap options, $4 hot dogs, $8 pizza slices etc but if you want to eat anything decent at a reasonable time it certainly ain’t cheap, especially when you add on 25-30% tax and tips.

in and out burgers looks reasonable for junk food Option.

FMD, you really live up to the whinging tight ass pom stereotype, why even go if all you're worried about how much it's going to cost?

Unless you plan on living in your room for 6 days straight sulking like a bitch at the cost of it all (which by the sounds of it, you probably will) 3.5 stars is absolutely fine.

It's not something that the NRL can control, but tourism numbers in Vegas are down 11% YoY and are only trending down according to the NYT.

Makes it that bit more difficult to try and attract casuals to the triple header.

Also makes the event more important for Vegas

That's definitely the opportunity. If the NRL can prove that it can continue to bring in consistent numbers from Australia, NZ & UK, Visit Vegas will definitely pay more to keep the event.

I would like this post but it seems that button has disappeared on my browser again. Last time it came back the next time I logged in.

Yes this 3rd year will be interesting to see what the crowd will be like. Being one less game than last year, I would hope the stadium will look more full for the full duration of the 3 games. I still think 2 games is the sweet spot for it.

Will we get as many casuals, will there be as many AU/UK supporters going over there etc

Personally I'd be hoping we can sell out this time around, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

Only way it will come close to selling out is if more locals attend. The neutrals will be dwindling now and it will be the attending clubs fans making up the bulk. That’s always going to be a finite number given the cost of the trip. how you get more yanks to the game is what the nrl should be focused on.

There's been plenty of commentary around just how expensive Vegas is and probably puts people off returning. Agreed that they need to get some boots on the ground to move tickets for locals.

I think the crowd tops out around 45k again which is ok, it's paying for itself but more importantly back in Australia and the UK it's vital hype to the seasons start.

Interested to see if we can get a rise in US TV ratings....
