You know the best players will be doing both weekends. The problem is the first weekend You might find yourself facing 14 sharks and you’re the guppy. But do I know. I'm off to write a letter to Shandler.

Nice work, Greg. It is indeed a good geographic location and truly impressive. A couple question:

1. Is the $50 fee per person or per event? In other words, if I am in the main and double-play, do I owe $50 or $100? One fee only would be a good incentive, especially if people are borderline on their 2nd or 3rd event.

2. When we get closer to the draft, will we get a better idea of what kind of spread the Bellagio will have for us? In other words, I get the idea from your post that it will be *nice* but will it be the kind of nice to snack on or the kind of nice to skip breakfast over?

Greg your'e making it very difficult for me to follow my football teams. It's mid October and I'm ready for Spring Training already. Congratulations to all you guys on all the excitement swirling around March 2010! The Bellagio is awesome, nice job making that happen! Can you guys help me out with explaining to my wife I need two weekends in Vegas this March. Looking forward to March and figuring out exactly how many days I can get away with in Sin City!!!!! Job well done guys!

I'll have a separate update on Events Fees for each weekend in each city hopefully today. It's new for us and I need to explain which functions will require them and why. Definitely nothing at the Flamingo as we will pick up that required food bill with or without a full house, so we need folks to drink with us!!

Yes, we have an idea of what you'll be getting for food on Saturday at the Bellagio. The per person cost was already derived with the food and drink we picked out. That's why we know that $50 per person doesn't cover the bill, but we didn't want to debut with a $100-$125 Events Fee. We'll have food details here and in the other cities well before you need to plan for your trip. It will get the job done, I'm sure of that.

Thanks Randy. Yeah, 5+ months until Draft Day and we have 50+ folks per day on the NFBC boards talking about the draft. You've gotta love it. For all of us that have been around from the start, this is a good step forward and it will be fun to tip the Corona's at THE BELLAGIO!!

Stay well and I'll see you there.

Me too.

They are taking the reservations, but it isn't in their system yet. They do have the paperwork about the discounts though and are doing the $159 a night now.

Wow, they are taking reservations for this already?? Hey, save some rooms for the staff you guys!! I'm sure we haven't even locked in our rooms yet, so save me a room there!!

I don't know if this number works, but for those of you who want to try their web site says call 888.987.6667. Ask for reservations and say you are part of the Fanball group on March 26-27 with rooms at $159. Let us know when you're booked and we'll keep an unofficial signup list here!!! Good stuff and thanks all for your support. This should be a freakin' BLAST!!

Thanks Well, we haven't even announced our Chicago and New York locations yet, but I could start a signup list if you folks would like to get this sucker rolling!!

Gekko, it's only appropriate to let our $241,300 man Lindy Hinkelman be the first official signup for Las Vegas (I know he's coming because he needs a tax writeoff!!

) but I'll put you second on the list for Las Vegas on Saturday, March 27th. Anyone else want to be on the unofficial signup list before we unveil the Registration page??

Do I need to start a separate thread for this?? Who wants to get this started?!!

I'll commit to the Main in LAS on the 27th
