What is happening in Vegas the weekend of March 31?

[Wongboy]

Is something big/interesting happening in Vegas that weekend? I got an offer for a free room from Hooters, which usually means that it is a slow time, but I just booked my flight and most airlines were sold out on returns Sunday, April 1 (the only non-stop I could find was on US Air).

I know there are some Spring Training games in town. Is something else happening that is causing all the flights to be booked 2 weeks out?

How will this translate to the poker rooms? My last trip was during NFR, and it was fun playing against Rednecks who thought it was unmanly to fold.

Not much in the way of conventions that weekend:

AMUSEMENT SHOWCASE INTERNATIONAL LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER 03/28/2007 03/30/2007 5,000

GLASS CRAFT AND BEAD EXPO SOUTH POINT CASINO HOTEL & SPA 03/28/2007 04/01/2007 9,000

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY CONFERENCE SANDS EXPO CENTER 03/28/2007 03/30/2007 16,000
INTERNATIONAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS EXPO LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER 03/28/2007 03/30/2007 15,000

That accounts for 45K. Ive seen the number closer to 80K for a busy weekend.

Thanks, I'm not seeing alot of crazy maniac gamblers in those groups. Maybe it is the baseball games. That or the airlines had some kind of scheduling issues.
