Anyone want to try to arrange for a pick up of these days, should I cancel.

I have Fri 2/07/25 to Mon 2/10/25.

The 2025 Superbowl is in New Orleans. Why would a Elara reservation have any appeal for Superbowl weekend?

Lots of people go to Vegas for Super Bowl weekend, no matter where it is. We have a friend who does this annually as it's still a good party.

Cheers.

I was going with friends but too many backed out. Not sure it is still worthwhile for me.

That’s a huge betters destination with lots of Super Bowl parties in the casinos. I had a friend who made the trip every year.

That’s to bad. It would have been one heck of a party.

Vegas is the party city for Super Bowl weekend regardless where the Super Bowl is played. IMHO
24/7 party weekend. LOL

Toooo Cold in Vegas in February. The weather in Honolulu in February is just fine just like the other 12 months. The Party in Vegas is great for all 12 months.

Spoken like someone who is not familiar with Super Bowl weekend in Vegas.

We've not been, but I've heard enough about it to know that it is not the same as most other times. Yes, weather is great in Honolulu then as well as other Hawaiian and south Pacific islands, but that is not the same experience as Vegas for the Super Bowl, so not terribly relevant.

Cheers.

Eggactly that's why Vegas is the number one vacation destination for Hawaii residents.

My question was more from a rental perspective. I suspect it wouldn’t really move the needle from a rentable perspective. People even count it hard to rent reservations in Vegas when the Superbowl was there last year.

enjoy Vegas Super Bowl atmosphere
LOL, and the ensuing comments follow my thought when I read that
"5 words that make some people excited and other people reach for antacids, sleeping pills, and a white noise machine = enjoy Vegas Super Bowl atmosphere"

I think I'd visit Vegas if Elvis were still there but that boat sailed 48 years ago (1977)...........
Why commiserate in the past when you can get married or renew your vows by a modern day Elvis! During Super Bowl Weekend! You would have room for 3 of your closest couple friends!

About 6 months after we were married (almost 20 years ago) we were running a marathon in Vegas and decided to take part in the so-called "run through wedding chapel" ceremony. In addition to being on a stage with Robin Leach during the packet pickup, we did have a wedding service that we considered a religious service: There was not one, but more than 20 Elvises (Elvi?) in attendance!

Cheers.

We are kinda very accustomed to living with wearing shorts and either shortsleve or sleveless shirts all the time without jackets. Vegas in late September/October or May is our time to enjoy being there. Summer is tooo hot and from November to April too cool.

I must mention one of most memorable Superbowl experiences. We were in Maui at the Marriott Ocean Resort for a week which we were given as a present. It was Superbowl Sunday. At that time we usually went to a restaurant or that had the Superbowl on TV and a nice crowd. At that time there was no place on the property that was set up to watch the game. There was a sitting area that we saw and asked if we could have a TV set up to watch the game. They brought over a large screen TV and we had a couch in front of the TV outside to watch the game. As people walked by they brought up chairs behind us and started to watch also. There was a bar/take out place near by that came over and took our orders and served us food while we watched Drew Brees and New Orleans win the game. By the way we gave our Grandchildren a Football signed by Drew Brees and others when they came to play the Pro Bowl in Honolulu a number of years ago.
