I’m getting in Friday morning. I still have to call my hotel and hope that they will let me leave my bag there.
Does anyone know what sort of predraft festivities look like? I know the tickets say 4 and I think in the past the draft starts at like 5-5:30 right?

I’m also local and live near the Strat in one of the condo towers. If anyone wants to leave bags here, I am happy to accommodate.
Super excited to see everyone and celebrate the drafting of Celebrini!
For pregame festivities, how about we plan to meet either at the Wynn or the Venetian? Both are close to the Sphere. Since the event time is 4pm, perhaps plan to meet at 2pm?
Post draft on Friday night we should definitely celebrate afterwards. Not that we won the cup or anything, but hey, we are Sharks fans and need to celebrate whenever we can! Perhaps head back to the Wynn or Venetian? Or head to Cosmopolitan or downtown? Lots of options here!
@Sheng Peng and @Kcoyote3, hope to see you guys as well.

If I happen to be in North America, then I'll join! Unlikely though. I hope whoever meets up has an awesome time. I enjoy this Sharks community.
I was thinking Main Street post draft but we can figure it out as it gets closer.

Do we have any idea how long draft festivities will last? If 4pm is doors + pre-ceremony stuff at the Sphere, but it doesn't start until 5:30pm, 32 picks x roughly 5min per pick = ~3 hours or so, finished at 8:30?
Asking because I may need to have a "go out to dinner" tax for the privilege of dragging my partner to the pregame meetup + draft itself. But if we can squeeze in dinner AND a post-draft meet, it's possible!

It’s Vegas, the city doesn’t start revving up till after 10pm, so I’m sure you can do both. Do right by your partner and celebrate afterwards. We may also do the same.
I can give recommendations if needed

Sphere = underrated?
Might be out of town for parents' birthdays, plus my restaurant recommendations die out as you get closer to the Strip. Hope everyone has a good time though!
EDIT: Sounds like I'm going. More details much later in thread.

I’ll be staying on the strip and walking to the Sphere. I’m down to meet anywhere close to the sphere. @Gecklund Any of the big hotels on the Strip will have a bag check.

So the first round is Friday and the other rounds Saturday. Will rounds 2-7 also be at the Vegas venue?
Can anyone recommend healthy food options im Las Vegas? I've always associated it with greasy food but would like less oilier meals.
Also, thinking of adding some intra-US flights. It seems that the cheapest by far are frontier airlines and Spirit airlines. I believe that this are similar to Ryan Air (no bag allowed). Is this accurate ?

Spirit and Frontier charge a lot of extra fees, so make sure you look into that.
As for food, there are lots of healthy and vegan options. Vegas is a food haven, so no issues with that.
Round 2 of the draft is on Saturday and that’s an extra ticket. It is also happening at the Sphere.
See you in Vegas!
I can. Depends on where you're staying. Let me answer all your questions

Good news, I'm in Vegas in June!
Sadly it's for business and I leave 10 days before the draft. Doh.

We can do a pre-draft hangout! DM me and we can connect. I’m planning to celebrate all year long!

Stay away from the "fast food" options and the only thing that will limit your great food intake is your budget and reservations. If you have specific food interests, there are probably options. Many celebrity chef locations require reservations (dozens of restaurants with "name" chef).
(Saturday's draft is five+ hours, so you might be stuck with whatever food options are available at the Sphere.)
An example: There must be at least two dozen steak houses. From the chain (Mortons, Lowry) to the exotic (Brazilian), historic (Golden Steer where the mob used to hang out) to the brown-nosing (Oscar's named after the former mayor).
Not all the "great" restaurants are in the resort corridor (Strip/Downtown). Chinatown has some good options. Summerlin has some fun food options, including a Wolfgang Puck restaurant.
Neon Feast is an app that helps navigate the Las Vegas food scene.

Greenberg’s Deli in NYNY. Great Pastrami on rye.
Tacos El Gordo. On the strip not too far from the Sphere. Great tacos.
Re Spirit Airlines. I’m trying them for the first time on this trip. Round trip from SJ for $117. I’m only staying 2 nights so I’m going to put some clothes and my bathroom bag in backpack. We’ll see how it goes.

I enjoy Bajamar more than the San Diego seafood taco spots which I've tried.
Also, if you can get a reservation or are willing to wait, then Esther's Kitchen has great Italian.
Barf. My friend's ST seats didn't pan out. Now I gotta buy seats with the rest of you lowly peasants.
What sections are y'all sitting in?
