Tempe - Trip - Hotel, Air, and Rental Car - $949 for one person

[Froglaw]

I just booked on SW.

Leave Dec. 27 at 5:20 and arrive at 7:35. Come back on Sunday. Air $565.20 with Early Bird Check in.

Hotel - Scottsdale Resort - Scotsdale - $85.00 per night.

Car - Payless - Full Size - $129.00

Not bad.

If you want to play Golf on Friday and Saturday (morning), send me a personal message.

I love Ocotillo in Chandler (Desert Golf - 27 holes - 24 have water).

May Raven's Wood or Troon for Saturday morning or flip the two.

Flight is less and is direct through U.S. Airways. You save about $150.

 

[mc1502]

Yep, were flying US airways as well ($460 something).

Alamo has really good rates on car rentals too.

Not bad--if you are a multi millionaire!

Anybody ever flown Spirit airline? They have $210 round trip fares from DFW to Mesa, AZ.

Careful on the cheap airlines.

SW allows my golf clubs to fly free.

Other airlines gouge you on the baggage if you bring anything more than a tooth brush wrapped in a pair of clean underware.

Pretty sure spirit charges for a carry on bag.

If Steel goes, Steel will drive there in half a day and take 5 other people for $50 a head. Gotta get your own hotel but that's no more than $60. First come first serviced.

Yes, they do. It's my understanding that their customer service is worse than other airlines (take that for what it's worth).

 

[Horned Frog Country]

My friend was able to book US Airways and car rental package this morning for $792 or $391 each.

Well, in regards to airline customer service... There's Southwest, and then there's everyone else.

If you are a multi-millionaire you have your own jet or lease the services of a private jet.

A million dollars isn't what it used to be. My 1,700 square foot house, which is in a small subdivision miles from the ocean, is appraised at $730K. The neighborhood looks a lot like a new part of Haltom City or White Settlement, with similar sized homes. Median household income in our community is $80K per year. Just about all of those people have assets in excess of a million dollars because of their home values and 401-K plans. They work, make their mortgage payments, and save for retirement. They certainly don't charter private jets though.

I'm thinking about driving to Vegas and staying a few days then drive to the game then back to vegas for another day! Anybody ever stay at the Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower? Or should I just stay in Tempe and forget Vegas? :tongue: With taxes 5 night stay is $300.36 for deluxe room .

Golf Clubs: $50 EACH way...$100 per trip...on the legacy carriers. (NOT $25 first bag and $35 second, but $25 first bag and $50 second -oversized - That's the $150 right there.)

DON'T do the Stratosphere...bad location - northern end of the strip - there are many questionable characters out in that part of town. Comfort Inn, lower end Best Western quality. Stratosphere's "deluxe room" is like the Pete Wright Dorm of old!

Thanks! That's why I asked because I haven't been back since 1990. There are a few good deals other than that one. I just think it'd be neat to spend a few good days gambling then head to the game! Only so much you can do in Tempe and I plan to leave on the 20th and have some real fun! :tongue:
