DONE!  I booked it. 

Sorry, for the delay in getting more of the accommodations booked but I have been working hard to get some work projects out (overtime, etc.) and don't really feel like going on the computer when I get home at night.  Now that the projects "are out" I should be able to put more effort towards getting things finalized...

Later,

Nate Dogg

P.S. I am typing up the itinerary in Word format (like last year) it will include a link to the Google Map route (AirBnB door to door) and a link to the actual AirBnb accommodations, as well as each nights accommodation pricing and a final tally.

Hey, no problem Dogg.  Sometimes sitting in front of a PC at the end of the day is the last thing I want to do as well.

Yea, that document made it a breeze to make the route in myrouteapp last year.  Appreciate you being organized and making it!

Is Flagstaff our next destination?

As far as I know it still is...but my question to you fellas, before I book too much more, is; when or what day(s) are we planning to see the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon?  And should we look into tickets for tours, etc.?

I guess it looks like the route includes Grand Canyon visit on day we go from Flagstaff to Las Vegas...May 22nd.  And then we have a "free" day while at Las Vegas, so I assume that would be the Damn (Dam) Day...May 23rd.  Does this seem correct?!

Wow!  Lots of options in Flagstaff.  It's a hard decision, all of them look nice and have enough beds. 

I like these the best:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/15930581?s=51
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16690752?s=51
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/10545596?s=51

First one being my first choice.

What do you guys like?

Russ likes these the best:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/15930581?s=51  = $368
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16690752?s=51  = $314
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/10545596?s=51  = $272

I myself am drawn to these:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22209138?s=51  = $294
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17471671?s=51  = $260
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21052965?s=51  = $335

They too are in order of my top to bottom picks...

I like the ones Russ picked as well, especially his #1, but I wasn't sure about the price?! ???  Nickoli has already questioned my picks, as far as pricing goes...

Well, Russ after Nickoli's comment and looking at some of the reviews for your #1 pick...I am ruling that one out! It is not actually the entire house, a long term tenant lives below and the quiet time starts at 8pm. A lot of people were not thrilled to find this out and have that tenant come up at or even before 8pm to complain to them about the noise...

Ok, sorry about that.  I wasn't picking the date and selecting the number of people.  The base price is cheap, but then when you fill in all of the details, it adds all of the other charges.  Wow, the price shoots right up then!  I don't know if I am fully on board with the cheaper the better, but yea, getting into the $300 range is getting right up there.  Your $294 pick is just fine by me.  I did some looking as well, and there are lots to choose from, but they sure know what they want in that area.  Just as a comparison I checked a couple of hotels and they are right in the $180 range, so going that route wouldn't really save anything.

No need to apologize, I was just pointing out what I found out. I agree with you, they sure do seem to know what they want for pricing in that area and I thought they might be cheaper because of being so early in the season but noooo! I also looked at some hotels and they are not much cheaper...I was looking at your 3rd option and my 2nd or 1st. I like the cheaper price of your 3rd and my 2nd, plus all three of these have the best locations, as far as our route is concerned. The only problem I have with your 3rd is someone has to share a bedroom. (Not huge deal.) My 2nd, the cheapest, is someone has to either sleep in the same bed or on couch. And lastly my 1st choice the only problem, which may not be this time of year, is it doesn't have AC...Nickoli, Russ give me your thoughts!

Well I just didn't want you guys to think it was a money is no object kind of deal!  So many difficult choices here.  OK, my final vote, my 3rd option:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/10545596?s=51 for $272

Yes, someone will have to share a room, but we will all have real beds.

Nate, your first one would be my next choice.  We'd have to flip open a sofa bed, but that's no biggie.

   It all looks good to me, you guys got good smarts in value added accommodations picking for our 2 wheel riders premium members!!
   I was thinking hotels after Vegas, when heading home, to see how fast or slow we make it home and how how many miles a day we want to do a day when heading home?  Get tired of riding we just pull over and get a hotel, or if we want to go butt burner and get a hotel further down the road?
What you 2 wheel riders homies think?

Sorry, I had trouble narrowing it down, but I did read all the reviews & rules, and these seemed to be as advertised.

Here are some properties I found for Vegas baby (all the prices are for 2 nights):

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23899557?s=51  = $307
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22391496?s=51  = $385
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22035621?s=51  = $403
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21948789?s=51  = $452
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12293827?s=51  = $452
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22340179?s=51  = $495
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14615820?s=51  = $537
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17700651?s=51  = $569
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19193876?s=51  = $576
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21280702?s=51  = $574
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23173163?s=51  = $587
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19491805?s=51  = $587 (6 car garage!!)
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16215527?s=51  = $594
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16806956?s=51  = $610
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/20803129?s=51  = $621
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18699771?s=51  = $674
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22795077?s=51  = $720

and one condo on the 51st floor of the Palms Place:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/22730324?s=51  = $619

I guess let me know your thoughts on which one(s) you like best and we can go from there...I will then need to contact the hosts of the ones we like the best and verify some details including parking!

Later,

Nate Dogg
