Hurley vs. Hurley matchup could be in store in Atlantis.

I was at Atlantis 1.0 in 2011. Was a lot of fun but the basketball venue is weird. It's not a designed basketball arena- was intended as a conference center. The ceiling of the venue is low and the acoustics are not good.

On the other hand the weather, beaches and atmosphere are great. If it's Thanksgiving weekend and games are Thursday, Friday, Saturday and you stay for 5 days and 4 nights, you will drop $3000 or more on the trip. The restaurants down there are insanely expensive. However there is less expensive lodging available next door to the Atlantis and that's what I would recommend looking into.

One highlight of that trip was the Junkanoo. The Junkanoo is a musical parade, think Mardi Gras, in which the locals turn kitchen utensils like pots and pans into musical instruments, wear elaborate costumes and parade while singing and playing music through the streets. It's a very interesting thing to see.
