It ALWAYS amuses me when guys try to say this place is ever a sausage fest. I get that there is competition for specific women, BUT this place is as good as you make it. You can always go to other venues and bring women along. Which I do understand some guys are incapable of doing so(not to insult anyone).

For a newbie, that is good advice (this is the newbie section after all). If it is your first time here, you are going to have a good time, regardless. However, as you go more frequently, especially if you have greater freedom regarding your finances and time to go when you want, it becomes natural to develop certain preferences.
I've been hitting CR for years now, and I agree that you can always have a good time here. HOWEVER, I have found that the more I go, the more I chose to tailor my trips to meet my ideal. And why not? Because of my type of work, going on Halloween weekend, or the weekend before, or the weekend after, or even in the middle of the week makes no difference to me.
Here is another example. I have a favorite hotel room. If that room isn't available, I just change my trip and go a week earlier or a week later to get my favorite room. It may sound nuts, but why not? The specific date I go doesn't mean anything for me. I don't have any boss at work or a wife at home that I have to ask permission to take off specific days.
Regarding the sausage fest, for me, it is less about competition for specific women. There are ALWAYS women available. It is more about having too many dudes around period. I like it when it is quieter and calmer. Some guys love having lots of other guys around, because they love the "brotherhood" of other mongers. Not me. I much prefer the calmer enviornment of having fewer guys around, EVEN IF it means that there will be fewer women around. I actually like the Del Rey in the afternoon much more than the Del Rey at night. It is all about personal preference, and if you have the choice to have your preference, why wouldn't you take it?
