Mint Collective in Las Vegas - Questions from a show rookie

[Neo]

Friends,

I'm gathering my suitcase full of narcotics, my trusted attorney (despite his national handicap - is Canadian - this man is very valuable to me) and I'm heading through Bat County for the Mint. The card show (not the 400) is March 30-April 2 at mgm.

Well - I'm doing trip with my best mate to take in opening day from the most glorious sportsbook there is. If you know, you know which one I mean.

And while I had realized a while back that there was a card show on the strip during that weekend, I had written off going. I assumed that there would be no on site psa grading, which seemed to be the case a few months back when I checked. And my buddy, while he loves baseball deeply, isn't posting on forums about cards - ya know. I really didn't even want to bring up the idea of a card show on what will be his first time on the strip. Add to this that I've never actually gone to a card show myself, I moved on to dreams of ether binges and whatnot.

So, funny enough it's my buddy who points out to me this week that PSA is doing on site grading at the show.

It has me thinking I should try to use the opportunity to do two things that become more complicated from Canada. Grading with the big boys and trading/selling some big cards.

Long post short:
- Anyone going to this show? Anyone go last year? (think this is year 2)
- Is it... good? How well attended was last year? Good marketplace?

- Newb question - If I intend to drop off cards for grading, do I need a show ticket for both Saturday and then Sunday for pick up?

- Question only I can answer for myself but I'm asking you guys anyway - Would you give up precious hours of a Vegas trip (or substitute your destination of choice) to hit up a show?

Thanks.
