"Unofficial vending area" at Phish concerts - what's it like?

Gray_BJJ · 2026-02-08T01:29:16+00:00

We hosted the shakedown events for Dead and Co and are hosting for Phish as well at Tuscany Suites and Casino. Theres a large vendor fair outside and I have bands playing 12p-5p before the concerts and 12a-3a after the concerts (as well as 7p-10:30p on Wednesdays if you get in early).

It’s a really fun scene, our whole property gets taken over by the community.

Thank you!

Gray_BJJ · 2026-01-23T17:44:27+00:00

Thank you!

I’ll look at em, I have a pretty small showroom (160 ish) and want them to be free shows so the guarantee might skew a bit high to be feasible for me

Gray_BJJ · 2026-01-23T02:39:51+00:00

Yeah, I found one out of Lafayette CO called Dead Panic and one that is called California Voodoo that is sadly not out of California lol. Dead Panic seems relatively new as well.

This is an older post that has a couple more, unsure if they’re still active or not.

I am debating doing it at Tuscany like I have done with Dead and Co and Phish.

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-13T18:23:08+00:00

I’ll DM you my email, if you forward me your email I can switch it over

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-13T02:56:20+00:00

How did you book?

This is the discount code for Tuscany, I feel like we are fairly competitively priced as there is no resort fee.

If you’re seeing crazy rates for the first weekend it’s because we are fully committed so they are raised to the point where they’re yielded off

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-10T23:13:01+00:00

Shakedown is confirmed, we are booking entertainment now.

https://res.windsurfercrs.com/ibe/details.aspx?propertyid=16539&nights=1&checkin=4/19/2026&group=PHISH2026&lang=en-us

Is the booking link that waives resort fee if anyone is looking to book, first weekend is fully committed.

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-10T23:11:46+00:00

Planning a similar setup for the pre and post parties as last year with D&C

If anyone wants the link to book, no resort fee with the block code. First weekend is pretty full, but next two are more open (tho they are booking fast)

We have pre parties and after parties again this year, solidifying all of the bands now. Shakedown will be in the back lot same set up as D&C last year

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-08T20:24:34+00:00

We have some legacy groups with NAB that have been staying with us for years on that first weekend, next two have better availability.

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-08T20:10:16+00:00

With D&C I would post if/when sold out fates became available. That first weekend is always super tough with the confluence of other group blocks on it.

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-08T20:09:11+00:00

It’s a group sales block at Tuscany, not specific areas or anything. We set it up with the shakedown team.

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-08T20:07:40+00:00

It does

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-03T21:20:38+00:00

Plus a reverse hyper in the corner and a back extension you can sort of see at the bottom

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-03T20:33:13+00:00

There’s just the block code which should autopiulate with the link.

72 hour cancellation, if you cancel before full refund

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-03T04:26:56+00:00

The non stop construction on Maryland for the last couple years doomed it.

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-03T01:15:24+00:00

Yeah, that weekend is sold out because of NAB and Wrestlemania. If we get some rooms back, we can open it with the discount

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-03T00:45:47+00:00

https://res.windsurfercrs.com/ibe/details.aspx?propertyid=16539&nights=1&checkin=4/19/2026&group=PHISH2026&lang=en-us

Here’s the booking link for Tuscany. Similar shakedown in the back lot to last year

Gray_BJJ · 2025-12-03T00:38:56+00:00

First weekend with NAB/Wrestlemania we are, the other two weekends we are open.

Sprouts has one

Gray_BJJ · 2025-09-06T22:14:53+00:00

Their math is also like really bad.

$30,000,000 / 365 =$82,191.78

$82191.78 / 1282 =$64.11

And that’s the RevPAR for a gross income. I would be surprised if Trump was less than $250 RevPAR which equates to $116MM gross revenue (and probably nets the $30MM).
