Thanks,
Jake

I have some friends that stayed at the resort a few years ago...... they were not happy with their room..... smelled musty and outdated décor. I think they paid $250/night. Hopefully for you they have done some updating since then..... one good thing... you won't have far to walk after the concert..... good luck!

We stayed there last year and they have not updated anything. It is old and very dated. but it is what it is...we did not tailgate in their lot since they say no grills and some other rules I did not care for. But we did not plan on tailgating there anyway. Its a quick drive after the concert and it is clean enough to stay a night after a show. We split the room with some friends so it is cheaper but we would NEVER stay here if it wasn't for the Buffett show. BTW...we are staying again this year. We overlook the bad since it is so close to the lot and don't have far to drive after the show.

We have an extra ticket available for face value or best offer. It's a great seat... close to the stage and right on the isle!
SEC: 203, ROW: R

Also have an extra Premier Parking pass that we'll throw in for no charge. ($30 value)





Come on, Jim... I know you REALLY want to go to Alpine this year!!!

Safe travels... are you driving the RV up again this year? Two Seasons or Hemmingway's?

Can't wait... HAVE FUN!!!

No rv this year. Heading to Two Seasons.

I have an extra room I am going to cancel by the end of this week for the Hampton Inn in Elkhorn.
It's only 1/2 mile from Two Seasons Bowl. Interested? Send me a PM before the end of this week and I will transfer the reservation to you.

But you'll still be at the concert, right?

Getting closer to Alpine!!! Last year they had the parking lot open at 11 am - breakfast lunch and dinner while tailgating, can't beat this kind of fun!!! Bring it on, show # 59!

Yes, I will be going to the show.
I booked two rooms back in February, only need one for us 3 gals going.

Good. What about Elkhorn on Friday night?

Absolutely! Can't miss the last bash at Two Seasons.
I have off that Friday, have to firm up plans with the girls in the next week.

The excitement is really building!

Still need to decide our Friday night plans though.

By the way... would anyone like a FREE Premier Parking Pass ($30 value)? We have an extra one that we unfortunately no longer need. PM me, if interested.

I'm going to the Nationals/Cubs game on Thursday, then leave for Janesville (where my motel is) right after the game.
Depending what time I get to town I may go into Elkhorn that night to see Jim Hoehn and John Patti who, I think, will also be playing there that night.
As for Friday, I'm going to get to the bowling alley right after I have lunch at Hooters in Janesville (they open at 11:00 AM), so when you get there I shouldn't be too hard to find.
Should be a great weekend.
(And if any of your G/F's need a concert ticket, let me know-I have one extra for section 203, row Z).

The weather forecast looks wonderful!!!!!

They dropped some of the back pavilion prices to $48.50 -

What time does Alpine let people into the tailgate parking area of the venue? Cost? We have an RV and are looking for the right place to go and the time we can do it? Are there local areas just outside the venue that start tailgating earlier? Any insight would be much appreciated!

Alpine will let you in earlier than the posted time. I think it's $20 for early entry. Seems like I paid $50 the year I took an rv.

I usually get there around noon or 1.

No places I know near the venue to get an early start on tailgating.
