its not the vendors fault for not selling fake designer goods anymore
there is a strict regulation on goods sold from the designers themselves to get rid of knockoffs in all markets, so vendors are limited overall of what they can or can not sell
Don't get me wrong: I'm not blaming the vendors for not selling fakes. I actually feel sorry for the merchandise vendors because what can they really sell that will draw people in? You can only have so many stands selling cell phone cases before the market gets saturated.
RR night market has the worst traffic mgmt system. the flaggers are LB's probably without a drivers license. I was the last car in a line up of about 8-10 last night, and the guy instead of letting me go, decides to hold me for a good 10mins. There are cars flowing out from all different directions. There is no set entry way to funnel in foot traffic. people have to cut through flowing traffic to get to the admissions gates. They have a guy on a boom lift right in the middle of the gravel parkade to spot. Not sure what exactly he's spotting.. I'm sure a bunch of tree monkeys and pylon cones and do a better job!! Also talk about the lack of signage. Had to keep asking flaggers - which way was for parking.
RS admins should consider getting the RS traffic crew and contracting them out.
Finally, LG's were non-existent.

Went to RR yesterday night: Can't rmb which food stand it was (I think it was one of the bubble waffle ones closer to the main cluster of non-food stalls), the asian girl that works there oh lawd dose dimples, dat smile
As for stuff to buy, there wasnt anything that you couldnt get off eBay for 20% of the prices listed there. Selection was awful too, most of the GSII cases were just sparkly jewel girly ones.
its going to be very jam packed and crowded which I dislike walking while someone has a hand on your back, pushing you forward. Also family bring their strollers, sometimes you get clipped and Grandmas walking like ants!
just wait until you try the real nightmarkets in asia
Defintely not Casino, they will observe the parking lot. People said park at Costco, its about 5~10 minute walk so it is not bad. Otherwise, you can park at lansdowne the Skytrain. Park near No9 Restaurant as it is open 24/7 thus, the lansdowne patrol won't suspect much
Are you guys talking about the paid parking parkade lot at the casino? Any reason why you can't park there? I've been parking there and taking Canada Line to downtown for concerts/hockey games all the time.

"talking about the paid parking parkade"
You can definitely paid to park at casino and walk to Night market if you want lol, but i think people are finding free parking spots with in walking distance from the Night market since the free parking lot by the Night market is packed
I just noticed nothing but many many hurricane potato stands all over the place, I remembered seeing around five at the original nightmarket last time I was there.
They're not that great.. are they? I've never been arsed to try because the lines were always abnormally huge

+1 for lack of signage... getting into the parking AND exiting!! had to ask flaggers how to exit, and instead of giving me direct instructions, made me go around in circles
Oh yeah.. think I saw Yuffa at one of the booths at the RR one

I enjoyed the cold japanese noodles at the RR location! Half off after 11:45! Fricken delicious cold noodles with takoyaki sauce, unagi, tamago, chopped scallop and something else.
Went to the bridgeport location on sunday night, food more expensive, i miss that bubble waffle guy... at least bubble waffle place has more flavours now!
