of it far surpassed anything that I thought it would be,
far sher pasted anything well then that I thought it
would be. Can I wait and what's right outside? What
is right outside the doors.

what the tournament is, but I've never been to Vegas
for the tournament kickoff.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I've never been to Hoops and Hops, and that.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Was everyone's takeaway. They were like, and I'm gonna talking
about our group. You could hear.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Other tables saying how cool the setting was.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
All I remember. I can't even tell you who it was.
I have no skin in the game for the North
Carolina tar Heels.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I have.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I have one friend who who has a kid that
goes to school there. Yeah, but it doesn't matter his
name anyway. I don't remember who North Carolina was playing,
but it was tense, tense.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I was high five in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And by the way, I don't know that they went there,
but they had a lot of money riding on that game.
I'm high five in people like I'd like I go
to school there. I'm like Bill Belichick. I'm just high
five and away. I got invested in games of colleges.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I've never even heard of. It was awesome. That part
was that may have been the biggest surprise.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I've been in Vegas before and I love it, but
that may have been the biggest surprise. Last week is
how awesome or last year, last year, whatever, I'm excited.
That was fantastic, So hoops and hops, and listen, there
are people that are in there that paid to be
(07:59):
in there. There are people in there that are paying
for beers. There are people that are in there paying
for drinks. There are people in there that are paying
for food.

a couple of other things.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I told you we're not staying at the Cosmopolitan, which
is a very very nice hotel. Nice, but if you
remember from our hotel, you could look across kind of
like the entryway and next to the Cosmopolitan is kind
of the next step up from the The.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Cosmopolitan is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It was, Yeah, No, I mean that I'm treating it
like it's the ex Caliber which you and wipe your
ass with. Anyway, right across for the little entryway is
a little step up from the Cosmopolitan. It's called the
Aria Beautiful Hotel. Yeah, beautiful hotel. That's where we're staying
(09:15):
this year. Yeah, that's where we're staying this year. Huh.
I don't know what that thread count is, but it's
better than the Cosmopolitan, which.
Speaker 3 (09:23):

Speaker 5 (09:27):
In our group, people talked about the accommodations and the Aria.
Speaker 4 (09:33):

can't believe we're going back to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Now, I understand people want to go, so you could
call in to win. Also, there is a chance to
qualify for a trip through the betmgm app. So if
you download the betmgm app, they have a trip that
they are giving away. I call that seven point thirty
(16:44):
on Monday, but they have a trip that they will
be giving away. So if you download the betmgm app,
that's another chance for you to win a trip, so
please do that.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
That gives you another chance to a trip. To join
us Monday, the winning starts. You win, you join us
Monday through Friday of next week, Monday through Wednesday of
the following week, and.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Then we go it. And I don't want anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
To be confused, so I am going to repeat myself.
You're not qualifying to win a trip. You are winning
a trip if you win on that second Wednesday. You
win on Wednesday, you pack on Thursday, and you fly.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We're going to Vegas. We're going to Vegas. That you
can't even say it without smiling back. We're going back
to Vegas. I believe some of us left some money
there to go retreat. Absolutely so again.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
You get your VIP passes for hoops and hops, which
I can't stress enough I had no knowledge of it
last year. Is amazing, and not just because the drinks
are free and the food is free. It is amazed
that also there is a pop up sports book right
(18:10):
outside the door, so we'll be there for the first
weekend of the NCAA tournament. You get special dip passes
for hoops and hops. You will stay at the Aria.
We'll do a welcome party at the Aria and everybody

and it's free drinks and you you could just sit
there and watch basketball all day. You can bet on
basketball all day.
Speaker 4 (05:46):

seen it, couldn't say this last year.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was that the the the hoops and hops part
of it far surpassed anything that I thought it would be,
far sher pasted anything well then that I thought it
would be. Can I wait and what's right outside? What
is right outside the doors.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Of the ballroom?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Thank you? Kind of a sportsbook pop up? So you

Speaker 1 (06:25):
The thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And that part we had no we had no knowledge of.
We had no clue what hoops. I mean, I know
what the tournament is, but I've never been to Vegas
for the tournament kickoff.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I've never been to Hoops and Hops, and that.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Was everyone's takeaway. They were like, and I'm gonna talking
about our group. You could hear.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Other tables saying how cool the setting was.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
All I remember. I can't even tell you who it was.
I have no skin in the game for the North
Carolina tar Heels.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I have.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I have one friend who who has a kid that
goes to school there. Yeah, but it doesn't matter his
name anyway. I don't remember who North Carolina was playing,
but it was tense, tense.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I was high five in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And by the way, I don't know that they went there,
but they had a lot of money riding on that game.
I'm high five in people like I'd like I go
to school there. I'm like Bill Belichick. I'm just high
five and away. I got invested in games of colleges.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I've never even heard of. It was awesome. That part
was that may have been the biggest surprise.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I've been in Vegas before and I love it, but
that may have been the biggest surprise. Last week is
how awesome or last year, last year, whatever, I'm excited.
That was fantastic, So hoops and hops, and listen, there
are people that are in there that paid to be
(07:59):
in there. There are people in there that are paying
for beers. There are people that are in there paying
for drinks. There are people in there that are paying
for food.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You're not doing any of that.

No, No, You'll get a nice little welcome bag that's
going to be put together and inside is your lanyard
for hoops and hops. Awesome, awesome, free drinks, free food.
You'll it is an unbelievable experience to watch basketball in there.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I loved it. Loved it. Now, let me get onto
a couple of other things.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I told you we're not staying at the Cosmopolitan, which
is a very very nice hotel. Nice, but if you
remember from our hotel, you could look across kind of
like the entryway and next to the Cosmopolitan is kind
of the next step up from the The.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Cosmopolitan is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It was, Yeah, No, I mean that I'm treating it
like it's the ex Caliber which you and wipe your
ass with. Anyway, right across for the little entryway is
a little step up from the Cosmopolitan. It's called the
Aria Beautiful Hotel. Yeah, beautiful hotel. That's where we're staying
(09:15):
this year. Yeah, that's where we're staying this year. Huh.
I don't know what that thread count is, but it's
better than the Cosmopolitan, which.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Again, Cosmopolitan was beautiful last year.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
In our group, people talked about the accommodations and the Aria.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Just from walking through, it's very nice.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I'm looking at the photos online and knowing other people
who have stayed there, can't wait to do so ourselves.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now, there was there was one property that they talked
about putting us at, but I did put a foot down,
which was that the smoking one. Oh, so anyway, we'll
stay at the Aria. Now here's what I like to
do when our winners and I'll get to that in
a second. When our winners arrive, there'll be a nice
little set up for you to like get your stuff,

Diana and myself and everyone, no.

can't believe we're going back to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Now, I understand people want to go, so you could
call in to win. Also, there is a chance to
qualify for a trip through the betmgm app. So if
you download the betmgm app, they have a trip that
they are giving away. I call that seven point thirty
(16:44):
on Monday, but they have a trip that they will
be giving away. So if you download the betmgm app,
that's another chance for you to win a trip, so
please do that.

I encourage you to do.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That gives you another chance to a trip. To join
us Monday, the winning starts. You win, you join us
Monday through Friday of next week, Monday through Wednesday of
the following week, and.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Then we go it. And I don't want anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
To be confused, so I am going to repeat myself.
You're not qualifying to win a trip. You are winning
a trip if you win on that second Wednesday. You
win on Wednesday, you pack on Thursday, and you fly.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We're going to Vegas. We're going to Vegas. That you
can't even say it without smiling back. We're going back
to Vegas. I believe some of us left some money
there to go retreat. Absolutely so again.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
You get your VIP passes for hoops and hops, which
I can't stress enough I had no knowledge of it
last year. Is amazing, and not just because the drinks
are free and the food is free. It is amazed
that also there is a pop up sports book right
(18:10):
outside the door, so we'll be there for the first
weekend of the NCAA tournament. You get special dip passes
for hoops and hops. You will stay at the Aria.
We'll do a welcome party at the Aria and everybody
will get tickets to go see Sammy Hagar do his
(18:30):
residency at Park MGM.
