Bash people, listen to the band

A heads-up to early arrivals for the Bash ... the University of Wisconsin marching band will be at Planet Hollywood from 2-2:30 pm on Friday to entertain one and all. The band will be at The Playing Field Sports book. I hope to be there by then...traveling up from Phoenix where I will first see a high school buddy...the band puts on a good show, stop by and hear the Bud song and "On Wisconsin"--a good way to begin Friday's festivities

I'll be wearing my lucky No. 7 Badger jersey on Saturday....see ya there

In addition, for any Packer fans out there:
Sunday September 9 –Packer Game Day!
Green Bay Packer Parties 10 am-1 pm Kahunaville Party Bar at TI-Treasure Island Or The Playing Field at Planet Hollywood

With the Badgers playing UNLV on Saturday night, there will be an invasion of Wisconsin people this weekend.

very cool little tidbit...did they pick the sportsbook because its having a grand re-opening?

No, they're also playing at Treasure Island...they used to play down on Fremont Street when the Badgers played at UNLV, but not this year. Here's the bands and UW schedule of events for those interested...I know many UW fans who are going out there knowing that they won't get tickets to see the game. An older UW fan I know bought UNLV season tickets so he would have tickets for this game.


With the Wisconsin football team traveling to Las Vegas, Nev. for their game against UNLV this Saturday, Funjet Vacations has organized a number of Events for Badger Fans. The Wisconsin Marching Band will be on hand for each of the fan events in Las Vegas.
The Badgers play the UNLV Rebels at 7:00 p.m. (PT, local time in Las Vegas) and will be shown live on the Versus cable channel at 9:00 p.m. locally in Wisconsin and the rest of the Midwest.
Following is a list of events each day starting Thursday Sept. 6 and concluding Sunday Sept. 9.

This is scary to see so many Packer fans at PH. I got all excited when I saw UW fans coming to town ......... thought my Washington Huskies were sneaking into town!! Actually the Huskies will be home taking care of business and Boise State. Thanks Badgers for whupping the cross-state rival Cougars last weekend.

Is anyone planning on deliberately running into an electrical transformer this weekend?

It all depends on which side B.W. is on......:lol:

TI is the headquarters for Badger nation.
Very strong group of fans who will be omnipresent all weekend.
I'll be sporting my Rebel nation hat at some point.

QL,
Unfortunately I have Bash plans for Saturday night, but I have made a few "calls" in case things don't go right and the Rebs aren't covering the 26.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the spread go up with all the Wisconsin money pouring in like it did last time they were here. At +28 I'll definitely pull the trigger on the hometown boys.

P.S. If anyone of the Badgers get near your girl Yara, Viejo, I'll have to show them some Vegas tough-love.

If it's a drunk ugly looking guy with a No. 7 Badger shirt, take it easy. I'm usually harmless. I would hate getting my head stuck in a vice (I saw Casino)
