Grand Prix TBD has been determined after all.
As you all are probably aware, the event will be a Modern Masters 2 Sealed GP in Las Vegas on the weekend of May 28th 2015. What you may not know is that Cascade Games and Channel Fireball want you to sign up. Like, right now.
If you want to get the free sleeves and deckbox, you need to pre-register this week.
The GP Las Vegas registration website has it all. Tempting offers, flashy graphics, even a sweet video to entice you to come to the event and test their 10,000 person limit.
As always, there are registration tiers, but this is the first time we've had so many.
There's "peasant" level which is a mere $75
General Registration - $75
The General Registration package includes the following:
-Entry into Grand Prix Las Vegas – build a sealed deck with 6 packs of Modern Masters 2015!
-Exclusive Grand Prix Ultra-Pro Playmat featuring art from Modern Masters 2015!
-Grand Prix Foil Promo Griselbrand
-Set of ChannelFireball Tokens
-ChannelFireball lifepad and pen
-Exclusive Grand Prix Las Vegas 2015 Token signed by Luis Scott-Vargas!
A little more gets you the sleep-in special, which is legit if you're partying in Las Vegas. Even if you go bed at a decent hour, don't expect the fraternity party or the guy banging his mistress in the adjoining hotel room to keep it down.
Premium Registration - $100
The Premium Registration package includes the following:
-Entry into Grand Prix Las Vegas – build a sealed deck with 6 packs of Modern Masters 2015!

-Set of ChannelFireball Tokens
-ChannelFireball lifepad and pen
-Exclusive Grand Prix Las Vegas 2015 Token signed by Luis Scott-Vargas!

For another $50 you get, in my estimation, the best value
Planeswalker Registration - $150

If you're not a Channel Fireball sycophant, you're basically getting the $150 tier, plus some extra sleeves. If you want to pay $100 to pretend LSV is a Hollywood A lister and wait in line to shake his hand, that's cool. Make sure to hoverhand when you take a picture with him.
If you don't have a flight or a hotel picked out, don't worry - you've got months and months. But I would register soon, and I'd figure out which tier suits you. The higher the registration numbers get in the lead-up to the event, the more hyped everyone will get, and hype is what we want.
I’ve actually got a few emails in with CFB to try and determine if the top tier will be worth it. Specifically, I asked if there would be food and drink available in he premium lounge and if there would be a charge, and if the artist meet-and-greet would have time for autographs or if there would be a time set aside for the top tier guests to get some kind of advantage worth an extra $100. When I have that information, I will share it on the forums.
