I think it's organized by the individual teams that would be playing, with authorization from the two comps. So it's up to the clubs where they want to play each time.

Sounds like things are more organized this time if there's already an agreement the match gets played in UK. I wonder what happens if one of the Vegas NRL teams qualifies. They'll probably drop out because of the traveling or something, or maybe it's not too bad coming to Vegas then on to UK.

I think the majority of Aussie teams prefer it to be played here from what I’ve heard said before.

World Club Challenge date has been announced as 22nd February so the week before Vegas.

Anyone know what the cheapest way to go to Vegas will be ?

It's cheapest if you walk and swim

Been to Vegas at least 6 times. Since the mob got removed and CEOs took them over it's become less safe and very expensive. Used to be fantastic place around early 2000s.

Side note before I help you hopefully. Stayed in the Excalibur hotel south strip. I literally hit the floor. Hardly drink never do drugs. Ended up smashing into a wall in the room. 6 months on got diagnosed with Benin paraxol positional Vertigo.

Direct flights will be expensive especially knowing fans will fly from UK to Macraran International. So book a flight to Newark in New York and then onto Vegas same airport. Stay away from JFK if possible it's a nightmare to navigate. Or even stay in NY for 2 days.

Vegas generally hotel wise is in all budget range. But cheap hotels will mean you could be staying in a rough area. So avoid anything off strip. Freemont it's okish but far from the strip

Hotels like Excalibur, Luxor, New York New York, Flamingo, Tropicana all on the strip will be cheaper than MGM, Wynn, Bellagio etc. Where they all hit you is the resort fee and that can be 50 dollars a night per room more you pay for nothing tbh.

Vegas is in a Desert so nothing around for miles. A method we use get prices from Booking.com Expedia, Virgin etc got to a travel agents local one not national brand ones and see if they will undercut firms.

Bigger the event the more expensive rooms and flights become. Magic Weekend will not register to them as a huge event so I hope that UFC, Boxing, WWE are not in town same weekend. That will keep hotels down on prices as well as internal flights to Vegas.

Anyone going to Vegas tip. Do not buy waters deodorants crisps etc at the hotels plenty of big shops on the strip at quarter the prices.

Vegas once gave a lot back now it wants all your money and credit cards. Bring back the mob. They will kill you where CEOs suck your souls
