I'm all about real life meetups with online friends, so I'd just like to say thank you to the SSG swashbucklers that were able to make it to Sin City and make this crazy idea of a silver-stacker meetup at a coin show in Las Vegas happen!
A coin show (was I there twice or three times), a party in a hotel suite, gambling, walking the Vegas strip, sharing meals, trash-talking the no-shows, more gambling, an NHL hockey game... and a multitude of conversations made this Vegas weekend an historic event in my mind.
I didn't take many pictures or make any posts during the trip but the rest of folks listed above found time to to post about the trip so if you want to see the action scroll through their blogs, it's good stuff.
Posting and planning a year ahead worked last year, so I'm starting here and we can see where it goes.
As we sat and talked in Vegas there was talk of "next year" and I'd love to see it happen, so just to get the conversation started let's say the weekend of March 3rd, 2023 and for reasons I will lay out in a chart below I'm going to say let's meet in....
| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
| cheap flights from almost anywhere (even Wales!) | yeah, right 🤣 |
| reasonable hotel room rates | |
| coin show? (not sure about this yet but assuming it will be same weekend as this year) | |
| lots to do in a small area | |
| gambling :D |
