| I think it's great for our game, and those who go, have a fantastic time, and enjoy every minute of it. Just keep our officials well away from it, and it should be fine.

| I’m in two minds about this - great opportunity to watch the Wire in the USA - and hopefully will be a great event. Since the announcement I’ve changed my mind around a dozen times about whether i want to go. However, I worry that our game will have a ‘first day at magic weekend’ fee about it - is there going to be anybody there for the first game? I’d consider myself a massive RL fan but I’d struggle to sit through 4 games in a day.

| At least, league game status will have more meaning than a friendly & showcase RL's competitive skills.

Understand your point, I would think it’s been put on first to increase UK TV viewing figures. 13:30 local time will be 21:30 UK time, so the women’s game I guess will be kicking off around 23:30, which would mean missing plenty of viewers.

Monitoring outside for the people inside: |

| Saints fans on RedVee behaving like jilted schoolgirls who didn't get invited to a party, saying " I didn't want to go anyway".

Is it to "raise awareness" again?'"
Funnily enough, I think for Warrington and Wigan it's more about building contacts with some of the movers and shakers in the NRL and getting access to that company more than it is about the USA.
I don't quite understand the criticism of the RFL in all this. It has been made very clear this has been organised by the two clubs involved, not an RFL or IMG initiative.

I see. I hope this goes some way to making an NRL takeover of SL more likely.

| Not sure what benefit we or RFL we see from this. What is the primary objective?
Anyone who does go, make sure you use the opportunity to go an see the Grand Canyon... truly a wondrous, awesome experience.
And have breakfast at The Bellagio... wow!

I had a week at the Bellagio. The light/fountain show is fantastic but I got chucked out of the pool for playing with my 7 year old daughter and "making a noise".

| I'm already booked to go to Vegas at the end of May next year, and I'm now seriously tempted to go twice in less than three months. I think it's brilliant that we're involved, and I know it's Wigan who led the way, but I'd rather they took us along for the ride than Saints, Leeds or whoever.
I realise it's not cheap to go (hence I'm still at the "tempted" stage rather than the "booked it" stage) but going to every single match isn't compulsory. I can't see any negatives to it.
