So it's looking likely we've arranged a home game against Wire in Vegas on 1st March next year, tagging onto the NRL double header (just waiting on official confirmation from the club).

Who's going?

Mr Frisk- in spirit

Now confirmed. Suppose I better start looking at booking some time off work...

If I read it correctly we also have to pay for the 'home' game that we will no doubt also pay for in our season ticket prices next year, double whammy

Absolutely no consideration to our younger supporters . This should not be a Super League home game . WCC would have been perfect for Vegas but having a league game there means one less home game for the thousands that can’t afford to go to the s h I t hole that is Las Vegas .

I have mixed feelings about this. I applaud the desire to push boundaries and be ambitious and it will be a great trip for a lot of Wiganers. What is the end goal though? What tangible benefits does it bring to SL and Wigan? Ultimately we're taking part at substantial cost which our owner is good enough to cover but I doubt he would want to do that annually.

Given how cash-strapped it is, the number one priority of SL atm should be to increase income. If there is a realistic plan for this venture to do thisnover time then great - I just don't know what that plan looks like.

I saw a similar comment on the other site saying Vegas is a dump and we should play a game in Cumbria instead.

I'd love to know what people think of some parts of Wigan if they consider Vegas to be a dump. 5* hotels, ridiculously good restaurants, access some of the best shows & nightlife in the world etc.

Being played at the deathstar i assume? worth going just for that experience (as a Raiders fan)

11 of us already booked.

You didnt mess about Itchy

Flight prices increased considerably in last 48hrs.

Not cheap! I was under the impression you could fly direct to LV from Manchester, it seems not.

Looks like the new administration's honeymoon period is over.

Booked flights and hotel for 2 of us.

Grandson and me booked with TUI fly from Heathrow £700 each cheaper than flying from Manchester 5 nights Wed to Monday saved £1400 altogether.

You definitely can. I have flown direct countless times. If you do need to change I would suggest Philly if you can. Always been easier changing there than Atalanta or JFK.

Which hotels are you all staying at?

Oh and by the way, when you check in and they ask for your passport, put a 20 dollar bill in your passport and ask if they have any upgraded rooms available. You can thank me later!

No way your Mum lets you go to America by yourself.

Direct to USA from MAN = JFK, Orlando, Houston and Atlanta. Philly was stopped a few years ago by American Airlines. Your best options are BA via Heathrow, or Aer Lingus via Dublin. You can do KLM via AMS as well and Lufthansa / United via Frankfurt. Google flights or Sky Scanner is your friend.
Booked ours in the BA sale which finished yesterday.....

Booked last night, 25th Feb to 4th March.

Outbound - Aer Lingus via Dublin.
Inbound - JetBlue & Aer Lingus via JFK.

Direct flights from Manchester run by VA but only over summer not in early march ch, anyway accom booked that is cancelable
