I don´t know about Ithaca, sorry, but if you´re down near Binghamton, The Relief Pitcher is a great bar and it´s where I´ve watched most of the games...but it´s kind of partially under water right now, so my friends and I will be moving to the Downtown Quarterback in Endicott for the Brazil v. France game tomorrow!\n\nMost sports bars will be showing it on a few screens at least, and if you ask them nicely, I´m sure you can switch it to ESPN if they´re showing something different.  Just look in the phone book for a place that has a sports-sounding name.

Yes, on the Strip.  Many of the hotels will synchronize their fireworks displays.\n\nIn my opinion, one of the best places to view the show would be from the Voodoo rooftop lounge/bar at the Rio.\n\nHope this is helpful!

No, but I was there August 30th.  I'm a pediatrics resident @ Children's Hospital in New Orleans, and we caravaned 30 kids to the airport to have them air lifted to Kansas City & Houston.  It was a jaw-dropping experience.  I have been on many transports before across the gulf coast, but I have never seen anything like this.  I still kick myself for not having a camera.\n\nMyself and other doctors and nurses used our personal vehicles to transport these children from the hospital in uptown new orleans to the airport in kenner (30 minute drive).  Security was extremely tight on the tarmac.  When we finally got onto the tarmac, there were dozens of helicopters &  transport planes coming in and out of the airport - it looked like a fully functioning military base.  Transport teams came out of 3 different national guard aircraft, triaged patients and set off to their destinations in less than an hour.\n\nOn the way back to the hospital (we still had a few patients) we drove by the staging area in metairie @ I-10 and Causeway that you probably saw on TV.  There were thousands of people surrounded by hundreds of emergency vehicles and buses littering the intersection.\n\nThose days after katrina changed by life forever - I will never forget, and I am committed to bring New Orleans back - it's my home

Yeah, I've been there.  Always had a good time, but level of racing is definitely a cut below the major tracks.  Grove City is pretty industrial, so if you go I'd say stay in downtown Columbus.\n\nOh, yeah; I just watched the first couple races there on simulcast today and was reminded--Beulah Park is often used by out of town trainers for class relief.  So if you see a horse that has raced or trained at, say, Arlington or Hollywood Park, it's probably a good bet even if the animal's form is questionable.  It is really not a high level of competition that goes on there.  Edgar Paucar and Cesar Camaque are probably the two best jockeys.

I hope this helps you out. It made me want to go on a vacation there myself! Good luck, and whatever you decide, have a very good time!\n\n\nhttp://www.mullinslogcabin.com/rates.html\nhttp://www.mountainparadisecabins.com/contact_reservation.html\nhttp://www.fewpb.net/~cccabins/Chestnut_Hilltop.htm\nhttp://www.fewpb.net/~cccabins/hunter.htm\nhttp://www.nbcabins.com/\nhttp://sceniccabin.com/\nhttp://www.cosbycreekcabins.com/\nhttp://greatrentals.com/KY/12249.html\nhttp://lakehousevacations.com/page-247.html

My boyfriend went there and loved it. It's a nice town, they have a great outlet mall, and the campus looks pretty nice from what I have seen. I have actually been considering transferring there myself.

Not yet, but I SERIOUSLY want to go!!! I think there may be one in Cardiff next year, which is relatively near me, so I'm going there like a shot. Their music is great.

I went last year the week after Memorial Day. It wasn't crowded at all. My cousin works there, so we get in cheap. Tickets are not very expensive though.

I've been there when I was a kid, don't know of any hotels though. If you do go, make sure you ride the rollar coaster "Super Grover." If it's still there...it seemed big seeing how I was 7 when I rode it....maybe it's not though...sorry!

I grew up in rural KY....  You shouldn't  be worried about an observation area as much as you should be worried about if they have indoor plumbing.  GO WEST 30-40 MINUTES AND HAVE THAT KID IN LEXINGTON!

Sure it is. My friend went there a while ago and said it was a total blast
