After the draft?

Is anything going on in Las Vegas Friday evening or Saturday after the draft that might involve a bar or something? I've only met a couple of you formally and would like to get to meet a few more over a couple beers.

I've only met a couple of you formally and would like to get to meet a few more over a couple beers. The boys and girls are getting together on Thursday night at the Flamingo sportsbook and if that place is too small we'll find another watering hole to drink at. The auction leagues start on Friday and some folks come to registration for a few beers and their welcome packets. Friday nights are tough because some folks actually do some last minute planning. We are hosting an NFBC Super Draft League on Saturday night, but folks like to stick around to look at all of the draft boards afterwards and the bar remains open until everyone is gone.

Hope this helps and we look forward to everyone having fun this weekend.

Less than Dave, where are you staying at in Chicago?.. I am staying at the Sofitel and going to the Hollywood Casino on Saturday after the draft, not sure what the plan is for Friday, I think I get in around 4 and have to pick up my drafting partner at 8

Hey a great baseball place to go after the draft would be the Billy Goat Tavern (great burgers)... great Chicago history right there... it's in the city though so lemme know if anyone is interested.

If the weather is bad and you don't want to go far, assuming you're staying near Rosemont, Shoeless Joes at the corner of Mannheim and Higgins is a good place.

Maywood buggies are running and they have simulcast. It's pretty close too.
