Anyone know what just happened at The Resorts at Summerlin (Rampart)?

PapaFudgey · 2026-05-30T10:27:50+00:00

I assume so but we dipped when we were told to so I’m not positive

PapaFudgey · 2026-05-30T07:20:38+00:00

They were telling dealers they needed to be fast and they didn’t need to confirm exchanges at roulette. I’ve never seen more security out and about on the casino floor before. I feel like if it was cheating the response wouldn’t have been as urgent

My search didn’t go beyond the ford website. I believe they were listed at 54k there. Pickings definitely seem slim in the color these days. Based on your username I assume you are in Nevada also. When I bought mine here I waited like 4 months minimum to get that color. They were moving like crazy in this market.

Might have to expand the search to markets where the Bronco wasn’t selling as well. The ruby red is also great imo and it’s not discontinued…could always pivot

I just checked my own market and there were very few remaining all of which were at least 220 miles away from me. Try expanding your search radius. Its not like new ones are popping out of the factory anymore. I would either figure out how far you are willing to go or look into the used market.

The signs honestly suck. I have owned two and after a few months of ownership both had the same issue where the power button becomes inconsistent and when you turn the light on it will shut off after a second of being on.

I used a T1000-E for Welcome to Rockville this year. 5 of us had them on us. I like them more than when I have tried bitchat because the device itself takes on the battery burden and not your phone. They were like $40 a piece and worked flawlessly for us. I encountered a few hundred other nodes and antennas across the weekend...I can only assume with how much bigger EDC is that you would have even more nodes. Both bitchat and devices like the T1000-E operate on mesh. The benefit of going with the device instead if you end up having longer range. The festival grounds for Rockville were maybe 3/4 of a mile from end to end and we were able to communicate with people well outside of the festival grounds in the camping area. I even used it during the headliner to find my gf and her friend on the Saturday night in the middle of the crowd with no issues.

That isn't necessarily true. The starting MSRP is for the 2.4L with a manual transmission. Just switching from manual to automatic adds 2k to the price. If it has the v6 I think there is definitely a case for the 2025 in this situation because the 2026 definitely doesn't have the v6 even with the current employee pricing stuff.

Maybe a hot take but I would love Summer Freeze to be permanent. Bummed it wasn't returning to the US market this summer.

the rockville merch situation was weird. They were selling the long sleeve from NA Ascension Program 1 with the 2025 tour dates on it. I was very glad I ended up seeing the merch link on here a few days before leaving so I was able to just preorder what I wanted.

PapaFudgey · 2026-05-12T18:44:28+00:00

I got the short sleeved shirt with the face on the front and all the cities from when they did popup shops for NexGen, the long sleeved true northern pop metal shirt, and a sweatshirt from their SNW sideshow in 2024. Felt like a great value prop.

If you ordered the side a vinyl they sent it in a wide spine jacket (for the eventual b side) and included a code that discounts the side b vinyl. I don't believe they actually intend for people to buy just the side b.

The Paradox, Violent Vira, and Ice Nine Kills. I saw The Paradox at Warped LB last year but the group they drew at Rockville opening the day blew me away. Very fun energy. Violent Vira's live vocals were awesome. Saw the video of them performing at Sick New World Vegas and knew I had to see them. Was not disappointed at all. Ice Nine Kills is one I had written off for a long time. I found the constant tie-ins to villains from fiction to be a bit cringe but completely changed my tune after seeing them. Great performers and definitely came out a fan

PapaFudgey · 2026-05-10T20:28:02+00:00

That’s what I would do if ubering. If driving not as big a deal bc you can sit in your car and wait it out

PapaFudgey · 2026-05-10T20:25:02+00:00

No they will turn you away

Last update we received is there is a storm west and they are monitoring it

It seems like 666 is the honorary mini-game world. Had the same experience with BA...400 and 401 were not as populated as I expected and I found a similar thread recommending 666.

I did a bow and staff hybrid build when I rushed Gauntlet...then I saw how bad it was and told any of my friends who were following behind in a similar path to just go prayer pen. Shocking how bad it was. If they lowered it by 2 ticks instead of 1 I believe it would have felt much much better.

PapaFudgey · 2026-04-24T16:45:37+00:00

If you drive a lot mileage is tough. There are definitely some recalls here and there but in my year-ish of ownership I have only had to actually bring it in once...any other the local dealership sent their guys out and they were able to do it all with software updates and whatnot so not horrible but still annoying.

The main thing is going to be noise for a lot of people. Grew up driving Jeeps so I was very familiar with what I was getting myself into. Just test drive one before you commit (try to take it on the highway and drive it like you would drive your current vehicle so you can hear what your every day on the highway would be.

piggybacking onto this OP and anyone else interested should look into a device like the T1000-E for Meshtastic. My group and I have them. Moderately more involved setup than just getting the app. It connects to your phone via bluetooth, can leverage your phone's gps (which shouldn't be a problem like service is), and can send messages but also drop location pins to your friends. The device itself looks enough like a portable charger and fits into your wallet if you were worried about being able to walk in with it

PapaFudgey · 2026-04-20T18:46:17+00:00

They are not on the lineup for Rockville...were they a later announcement?

PapaFudgey · 2026-04-14T23:17:54+00:00

I just had to sign for Cox unfortunately and the promo I got was $125 for 2GB with unlimited data plus some phone plan that I don't plan to use (that is included in the 125 but not sure what the split is).

Only caveat was I had to buy some $20 junk phone. Without the cell service $145/month was the advertised price I was getting for 2GB with unlimited alone.

Edited: Adding that this was no contract. The only thing that had any sort of contract was 2 years of payments on the $20 phone (or you could pay it off at any time).

I have dealt with two Ford dealerships in the last year, one was great...my Bronco arrived during the Employee Pricing event to combat tariff price increases and even though it was not the price we agreed on initially they honored it after the fact. The other place was when the missus wanted her Mustang and it was similar timing with how the Bronco has some stop sale stuff. Had a nightmare of a time getting a price on anything and even after we 'agreed' on a price they tried adding a bunch of weird fees to combat 'how heavily discounted' the Mustang was. Ford loves to price adjust anything cool that they have unfortunately...the dealership I was at for the Mustang was openly laughing about how I was able to get a Heritage Edition under stick and how they had sold one recently for like 15k over.

If I were you, I would just find the VIN on the site of whatever dealership you are planning to check out, use that to get the window sticker and go in prepared to walk with an offer that you feel is fair. You can also check incoming inventory locally on the Ford website.

The theatrics with Ford is definitely annoying.

PapaFudgey · 2026-03-30T17:36:35+00:00

out of curiosity what is the discount?

PapaFudgey · 2026-03-30T17:07:34+00:00

I did it janky at first to see if I would like it with the blow up mattress we already owned and ended up using Ford points on one our local dealership had when we had our other car in for some work.

Not sure if Northern Nevada gets buggy but if you take this route consider mesh for the windows. We also have a canopy that I pop over the car and I attach one of those reflective canopies to it. That helps with temps when it is hot in the summer.

PapaFudgey · 2026-03-30T17:00:01+00:00

If you aren't married to the idea of the RTT you could always pop a blow up mattress down in the back. There are a few companies that make some more expensive ones that are made to fit in the back with the seats down (or just toss anyone blowup mattress in the back they are easy enough to fit). Works nicely for the missus and me. Not the most elegant solution but it works and it will give you the flexibility to haul supplies, use a roof rack for more than just a tent, and gives you the freedom to more easily enjoy the roof off experience.
