Dear Lord Baby Jesus, I want to thank you for this wonderful meal, my two beautiful sons, Walker and Texas Ranger, and my red-hot smokin' wife, Carley.

The job is right there!
Usually the field office has to be less than a mile from the project.
But I cant do the Cosmo at $72/ day - damn that sounds really low
Thats like Excalibur hotel money..

Ok good I was wondering where you sleep in NY for $72?
Id probably have to rent an apartment or something - but I guess I will day dream about it it for now if it becomes a reality - be cool to live there for < a year I think.

Vdara has a nice setup for long-term stays. You're right next door to Aria and Cosmo, tram ride to Bellagio. Rooms all have kitchenettes and laundry, and it's about half the cost of Cosmo. Cosmo is great for a vacation stay, but I wouldn't want to work out of there for months--just too busy. Downside is there are no balcony rooms at Vdara and you don't get the young yoga-pants-wearing crowd as much, but you can always walk over to one of the bars at Cosmo for the evening to see that.
My wife's company won a job in NW Arizona, just outside of Laughlin. I keep telling her she needs to do a site visit out there, even though they're subbing out that part of the work, since we could tack Vegas on to both ends of that trip.

I will try and not get my hopes up, I mainly took this job because we wanted to be able to Nomad around to different places now that kids are 18 & up, - but my last year I was on mostly Denver jobs which probably would have put me back to consulting just because the commute sucks, but I wouldn't complain about a stint in Vegas. All the other Desert Stuff in the area is just as intriguing to me as the "Strip" -
But I could go see Barry Manilow like every Thursday

My company is talking about opening an office in Vegas, and they have asked me to get my Nevada PE. I might be getting some company paid trips to Vegas for the next couple of years.

So CSB, take a look at that interchange and let me know the best way to build Tropicana under traffic (90K ADT) and not piss of MGM? Apparently that's what wins the job!
& then I will rent a 3BR apartment for visitors and friends!
But I am having a a hard time focusing on this project because were like, if we re route Sammy Davis Blvd we can decrease yadah yadah and my brain is then all:

HFS that's a lot of real estate. I'm going to assume that someone is going to suggested some ABC for that structure widening and I'm going to definitely say that offering the MGM some mind of shuttle/alternate parking would be great.

Shhh... Sammy Davis is the "secret" way to get around the strip without all the mess of the Blvd.
So there's like more people going through that intersection in a day than live in all of Wyoming, right? It's going to be CF when the stadium opens.
