I’m an old and my baby bro and I are considering going to Vegas for the 2026 Super Bowl as neither of us have been there for that event.  This wasn’t on the bucket list, but is under consideration.  We have a hostess and, normally, get our rooms comped at the V/P.  Don’t know if that would extend to the Super Bowl.  Should we pursue this or is it folly?

Sure. If you have an established relationship with the casino it doesn’t hurt to ask about a future comp. They probably offer package deals including game tickets.

I assume you mean to watch it in Vegas since they are not hosting the actual game. 

Vegas Super Bowl weekend is pretty fun, all the casinos will have parties some will be invite only and others you can just get a ticket for usually they have open bar/food. I would reach out to your host for sure to see what you can get into.

Thinking about it, conferences and conventions are the lifeblood of Vegas. The only reason I sort of enjoyed the place on my last trip was the private parties where I was able to drink copious amounts of Pappy for free. Unless someone is footing the bill for a Vegas trip, you shouldn't go.

We just got back from a long ass weekend. I'll let @closetojumping give his own thoughts, but in general...meh.

The food, was fucking fantastic, as always. Piero's still has it's fastball, although who knows how long that will last. Dan's in the Fontainebleau was fucking exceptional. And the Casino was nice, I'd consider staying there over the Aria, because it's new and nice and you take a ride everywhere you're going anyway.

The Aria...it's fine, but it needs a fucking facelift. The plates around the window buttons and lights literally fell off and was unattached. The sports book needs new, fully digital TV screens. It's clean, and all, but it's dated. One of the higher end casino's should never look dated for long, imo. 

Wizard of Oz at the Sphere was expensive, but worth the price of admission. Real cool. 

Other than that, our group might be done with Vegas. We'll see. When I got in, I ordered a double jack and diet coke, a double makers, and a red bull, from the bar by the Aria sports book. 92 dollars, before gratuity. The service by the hostess at the Aria book where we paid for seats, was shitty and inconsistent with the information we got from our concierge host. Just expensive and stale and inept from a city and hotel that are supposed to be built on hospitality, there certainly didn't seem to be a lot of fucking hospitality. 

Everyone else's complaints about vegas Ive read here and elsewhere seem pretty accurate.
