    Paul is bang on as even Spirit Of Edmonton folks were talking about going to Vegas. This will end up being a huge farce. I have been to 27 Grey Cup festivals and last missed in Edmonton a few years back due to a dog emergency two days before our flight left. I survived missing that year after having not missed since 87. I won't be helping to make Mr Dash any richer. This isn't a communist league. Why should Dash be able to book every friggin hotel room in within Regina? This could blow up in the faces of Grey Cup 101 organizers. Hopefully Toronto and Calgary are in the game again because I'm sure the gang green will just love that.
    At this point I'm waiting to hear from The Wetern Canada Grey Cup Club. If zero develops there than I'll be saving money next year and I'll never travel to Regina again.

    I'm not a Vegas kind of guy but if a whole bunch of CFL fans hit that town for next Grey Cup it could be a blast.

    He can because it's not a communist league or country.

    Well I wrote a note to Tourism Regina and with the help of my wife I can hopefully post it later. I have no clue how to move it and post it. Anyhow they already got back to me this morning. I mentioned how this will hurt Regina Tourism and that I will never set foot in that town again. haha.

    Just heard about a Las Vegas trip that sounds like it's a go. Might have to do it.

    They must be asking themselves, isn't there ANY other reason anyone would want to go to Regina? The answer of course being : nope.

    My saskatoon flight tix are all booked. Of course they Had to charge more for the monday midday return flight.

    Sound like Spirit of Edmonton will be in Vegas. Got an e-mail; from Lori Bursey last night and a huge bash is being planned for Vegas. Rooms will be at the Westin and four day tour packages including flights are being put together. It's a huge Regina boycot for two main reasons. Lack of hotel rooms in tiny Regina and most fans don't want to stay with people they don't know and Dash Tours. He's trying to get rich off the back of Grey Cup fans.

    My wife and I are very up in the air with all of our plans. We're going to attempt to sell our house next summer and move back to Ontario.

    If in fact they continue to carry the CFL next season. I'm pretty sure I heard Mark Cohon on the radio say the deal with them was only for this year. Anyway, I don't think you'd have to worry. From what I understand, if a game is on the sports books, and is televised anywhere, Vegas will have TV access to it.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Apparently, the Spirit of Edmonton has indeed found a location in Regina.

    I'm not a Vegas person and I wasn't going to go to the GC anyways even if hotels weren't a problem but I really want to see a Dash Tours boycott. Last thing I want is everyone talking of not purchasing his packages and then in the end, they do.

    2014 should probably be in winnipeg where accomodations shouldn't be as much of a factor.

    It looks like Dash Tours Silver and Gold packages are already sold out, check it out. Also, found this.

    makes sense. players and officials do need a place to stay. that's a good chunk of rooms already taken.

    I'm pretty sure the CFL have rooms in place way before any fan or business in this case can.

I'm hoping rooms come through a club I belong to but we'll see.
    OK, I'm a Rider fan, but that is very funny, I've also never heard it before, I may even use it. Good job.
