Six Weeks till The Big Dance
If you haven’t already started planning for March Madness, we are exactly six weeks away. That means you are now in the realm of making an important choice for this year’s tournament and its basically coming down to two things; 1. March Madness at Work or 2. March Madness in Vegas.
Now, if you do nothing, then it will be work. Work will include missing the first few NCAA games during morning traffic, missing the next several tip offs by noon due to meetings and lastly missing all afternoon and late games because of miscellaneous reports. For March Madness in Vegas, look no further than the 5 Reasons to try March Madness in Vegas.
However, if you do choose Vegas, then listen up because this is no cake-walk and may require some pre-planning.
So, if you are male and have a girlfriend, or first or second wife, a live-in deal, mistress or any female friend who demands any time or location management requirements, then now’s the time to start mentioning the 4-day corporate meeting. Guys, you might want to customize the words “4-day corporate meeting” to your specific industry.
Now, if you are female, or part of a group of females, where any one of you are dealing with a jealous boyfriend, over-bearing partner, rough neck, wrangler, suspicious chump, stalker, ex-stalker or green-eyed monster, then now’s the time to start putting a bug in that bastards ear that Jennifer’s birthday is coming up.
Lastly, if you are simply androgynous, at first glance that might seem to require a little extra verbiage for all parties but ironically enough, we at MARCHVEGAS.com have gotta think you probably already have things covered (both ways).
In any event, after all those “if’s” the point is, now is the time to establish your plan, execute a strategy, then book a hotel, flight or both (wink wink) to Las Vegas from March 15 – 18th with MARCHVEGAS.com (or competitor) before prices start rising as we get closer to March Madness which begins the week of March 12th.
If by chance traveling to Vegas is a financial hardship just remember to try to take the days off and enjoy your MARCHVEGAS Break regardless. After all, a NCAA office bracket at your local bar will be just fine and is still better than work when The Big Dance begins.
5 Reasons to try March Madness in Vegas
1. Holiday – You get an automatic 4 days off from work, also known as “MARCHVEGAS Break 2012”.
2. Games – View all the NCAA basketball games at once plus receive; an extra 4 days for male bonding, drinks for free (on a case by case basis of course), camaraderie amongst friends, non-stop action, gambling, buzzer beater heroics and get useful betting advice from total strangers next to you at your seat, in the sports book line, dinner table and periodic bathroom excursions.
3. Special Circumstances – Another try at temptation.
4. Spring Break – Self-esteem building in a new city and on the road.
5. College Pride – Wear your team colors and root for your favorite alma mater with like-minded alumni from across the country, then cheer for your natural school rivals, hated adversaries, dark horses, Cinderella’s, black sheep, bracket busters and any other hoop team you have advancing especially if there’s money on the line, you’re in the most ridiculous of parlays or you still need to keep that office bracket in tact.
恭喜发财
The new 4-day holiday.
11
Outside of November 11, 2011 (11/11/11) or in the European Date Format “11/11/11” just looking cool on the calendar, it turns out there are other meaningful facts to be considered in regards to the date and number 11.
Here’s a few:
11/11/11 Meaning
Biblical Significance
Mayan Apocalypse?
Midnight Madness Begins
Veterans Day
On a personal note, I even have a little nephew who’s birthday is not only today (11/11/11) but he’s also turning “1”. And talk about the force being with you, to top it off the kids’ name is Luke! So if this future baby Jedi doesn’t one day turn out to be a natural born leader of some Rebel Alliance then I don’t know who will. With that said, apparently the only other kid who has my little nephew beat, (by “1”) is another potential Jedi (and hoopster) named Jacob who turns 11 today on his Golden Birthday.
How does all this stuff relate to Las Vegas you ask? It doesn’t, except for the fact that lovers all over the world are apparently flocking in droves to places such as Las Vegas, Sydney and elsewhere to get married on today’s date. I guess if there was a day that looked the sexiest on the calendar for this year, then 11/11/11 would get my vote of approval.
So for little Luke, Jacob, wedding nuptials, all binary geeks, basketball enthusiasts and veterans, if 11/11/11 or the number 11 in general turns out to be your special and or lucky number, then may all galactic powers of this universe be upon you today.
Lastly, since we’re discussing favorite numbers we at MARCHVEGAS.com would like to share ours; 12 & 13.
