Wow they weren't kidding with the murderer's row schedule. 3 in 4. Vegas twice in same week. Jets twice in same week.

Yeah, 8pm weekend games are awful unless you're actually attending the game...and even then. I want to hang out with friends on the weekend after hockey games, not have a Flames game end the evening. I think 6pm local is the perfect start time, but sports have decided 7/8pm is the optimal start time. MLB has it perfect (but not intentionally) for a western Canadian fan. During the week - 5pm Calgary time, Saturday 1pm, Sunday 11am. Perfect for sports watcing and then moving on with your day/evening after.

Connect via Pearson out, and Pearson & Trudeau on the way back.
Realistically, next year is the year to go. Will have a few more things in place.
Maybe... maybe WestJet's direct flights will run a better time table for me (hoping they return).
Tuesdays and Saturdays doesn't work well for Flames games and work.
Can anyone put in a word for like Thursday & Sunday?

In Vegas for my 40th that weekend and just so happens on my actual Bday is Flames at Vegas, question for everyone- game or a nice casino/sports bar is good enough...
Born and raised Calgarian so go to a few flames game year, prefer NFL/NBA games on vacation since we don't have that here.
With the new arena coming in a few years, worth spending out the extra couple hundred bucks ( tickets, exchange, expensive drinks, etc) for the nicer arena or better to save some money and watch it in a casino/nice sports bar since there will be a great vibe- tons of Vegas and I'm guessing some flames fans there too.
I know its personal preference but any opinions and experiences would be appreciated, thanks!

Tickets in Vegas are always expensive, but it is a fun arena to catch a game - great fans, lots of energy.
House of horrors for the Flames though - I have had a few painful games there, including at least two shutouts. So a bar is a safer plan from that perspective

I am ready to be entertained. All this post season roster talk is boring as ####.
I don’t care what CC cooks up, I am ready to be served. Bring on the season!

Absolutely go to the game live in Vegas. It's an amazing experience, I've been to 3 and want to go to another this year. I highly recommend it, they just do things better down there in terms of entertainment

Does anyone know when the themed nights are expected to be announced, or perhaps I missed it? Like Indigenous night, etc?

In the past they’ve announced them at the Bonfire season ticket holder event that’s right after preseason but they’ve also done it earlier before as well.

Go to the rink if you can it would be a shame to be in the same city as the Flames on vacation and not go. I went to a game there in 2019 and despite the 6-2 loss it was a great experience. Nicest rink I have been to (I have been to 8/32) and it is a really fun vibe in the building.
40th birthday and all you need to treat yourself and take in the game in person
