When you ping the IP, it is going direct to the IP. When you get into the server list, the ping rises due to you having to ping the actual server console. When you get into the game, the ping rises again because there are more packets being exchanged (who killed who, etc all has to be sent to you in real time)

No problem... I normally ping 40-50, get to the server list and it is 5 higher, and then in-game its between 55 and 65... usually.
Las Vegas has seriously incredible internet connections. Must be all the pr0n sites hosted from there...
