    I was wondering who from ESB was going to go see the fight live at MGM Grand in LV. I already booked my flight and hotel.

    I have never been to a fight in Las Vegas and thought this would be the best fight to see if any.

    Also, any tips in regards to best possible seats to buy that are not necesarily front row, which I can't afford, to those which are not nose bleeds.

    And any and all Vegas tips for this fight?

    :thinkTry seats that are cheaper in the middle portion of the arena.
    The ones at the end make u feel like your not even there.
    Should have a great time either way.:yep

    Im already booked. Ive seen plenty of fights. My opinion is stay as close as you can to MGM if your not staying there and spend the extra cash on good seats to the fight. Check my thread regarding the after party.

    Tickets go on sale late August. Your in good shape if you already booked your flight and hotel.

    Where you staying?

    No deals. MGM already jacked up the price for FRI and SAT $300 a night. Flights are going up. Today you can get a non-stop flight for $315 on Southwestern, cheapest I found. Thats what I have. I got mines like 2 weeks ago for $220 round trip non-stop from Phila.

    I have a deposit for the MGM 3 weeks ago but I am going to sell it a month before the fight so I can put that towards my ticket to the fight. I am more then likely staying at NY NY for the fraction of the cost. :good

    If your going to club and its all guys going book your VIP NOW!!!! If you wait you will pay premium pricing and wait like 2 hours outside. Trust me.

    If you have a 2 girl 1 guy ratio then you should be fine, otherwise plan now.

    I saw that your staying at the Vegas Hilton. Stay at the Excalibur or the Trop. Cheaper and walking distance to everything you need for this fight weekend. Trust me. Unless you can afford the MGM.

    I live in NY so I don't know about FL. I am staying at the Las Vegas Hilton. There were 495+ reviews on expedia by reviewers giving it a 4.1 out of 5.0.

    They were averaging about $62/ night.

    The cheapest flight from NY to Vegas was $240 but I didn't like those flight times so I bought one a little more expensive.

    I looked up those hotels and they are pretty much all the same price. The reviews were better for the Hilton. Thanks for the tip though.

    I saw your thread about the after party I posted in it so keep us posted.

    I found the best prices at Circus Circus. Hotel is kinda weak but prices from $56 - $99. I prefer to get a cheap room so that I can get better seats.

    for me its all about location. Circus Circus is way to far from the MGM.
