    Myself and a mate are flirting with the idea of going to the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. It'll be around my 21st so it's an excuse to just get ****ed up in Vegas, but also to see Pacquiao and Mosley in the flesh which would be awesome!!! Not really sure how to go about it though. There's a couple sites selling tickets, but I'm not sure they're credible. TicketmasterUS don't know the fight exists. Thomas Cook don't know about the fight either... World Choice sports have a deal going... But have never heard of them either. You can understand I want to be sure coz I'll be handing over a lot of money (for me anyway)...

    Anyone got any advice?

    Look on the web ( And I mean look ) Find the cheapest flight you can ( Sometimes NOT always ) it is cheaper to fly somewhere other than Vegas in the USA and get a connection flight to Vegas ! As far as I am aware Virgin Atlantic and British Airways are the only Airlines that fly direct to Vegas from UK ! Then find cheapest hotel in Vegas ( I would avoid the North area of the strip as it is a bit of a dive ) When you have added up your chepeat flight and Hotel go to expedia and Travel agents and see if they can beat it !

    Airlines most probably have sales on NOW !!!!!

    At a guess if your looking to save a bit of money Luxor and Excalibur would be a good bet for Hotels and they are opposite MGM Grand pretty much

    Cheers lads :good

    I'll be 21 in April so no worries there.

    I tried buying tickets from the major ticket companies but none of them have the fight listed. Looked on expedia as well and their prices are good, but I wouldn't have tickets so :!:

    im hopefully going in april for marquez morales:bbb

    do u mean in freemont street, the old vegas, i stayed there once, its good for a day on the ****, has a lil titty bar there aswell, the low budget type. the Excaliber is a cheapish hotel opposite the MGM and is very nice, ive stayed there aswell.

    yea i normally do connecting flights, only downside is u gotta pay for the beers on the plane but give u a chance to stretch ur legs off the plane

    No I just meant central to south area of the strip looks nicer , I stayed in the Mandalay Bay ( very nice ) but when I went up to do the rides on the Stratosphere I thought the north area of the strip looked pretty dodgy !

    I was thinking the same, so I guess that site selling the tickets isn't legit? :lol:

    MGM website don't even have anything up about it. :conf

    When will the tickets go on sale? Any website I should be checking or anything?
