    There is **** all to do in Vegas during the day except go to pool parties, so it's definitely worth getting a decent hotel (MGM, Cosmo, Wynn or Aria are all good). The best club is probably Marquee in Cosmo but buy tickets before you get there as the queue is obscene, even if you're a hotel guest. Either get bottle service or talk to everyone there until you find someone who is drunk and has it.

    Also it's a bit of a gamble but I managed to get ringside tickets to the Pacman v Bradley fight for $450 off some guy outside ($1500 face value), so it's definitely possible.

    Im undecided yet, i heard its standing around for several hours for only 10 minutes or so of action.

    If there was a british fighter going it might have went as it would be a good atmosphere but i cant see it being great for this fight.

    Another random question - What is the dress code for casinos and bars?

    I heard the club can be strict i.e Must were shirts and shoes but can you get away with a decent looking t shirt and jeans for bars?

    Mate your going all that way and your missing the weigh inn,cause there isnae a British fighter? Come on man the atmosphere might not be as charged as it would be because its not a Brit,but still part of the big fight experience!

    my brother went last year and advised that you will need to wear shirts or polos to get in places no t shirts and they can be quite strict.

    rob would be a good person to ask if he is about today.

    i'll defo be at weigh in, im not sure the wife will stick around for 3 hours but i will for sure

    i went to club in wynn bottle service very expensive but very worth it otherwise no chance of seat.

    again pool parties expensive with cabana but only way to do it.full of pretentious steroroid junkies though giving it large with lemonade money champagne service written all over there faces ha ha the cabana is to avoid these dives like the plague.

    food wise for me the buffets are your best bet as is burger bar at mandalay though i would give circus circus a miss its bit run down and opposite side of strip from mgm.

    strippers-spearmints was decent as was the other place i went although too smashed to remember what its called.never fall for the vip room scam and make sure all cash no credit cards spent a week worrying about my missus seeing something on statement i didnt want her to see.

    enjoy

    Go the Concierge of the Casino where you are staying. Test your blagging skills about how you are going to lose a lot of money on the tables and then want a great club to drown your sorrows. They might get you in as a VIP guest. Tried and test formula by the way, its so ridiculously stupid, but it worked.

    XS at Wynn and Tao at Venetian are both good clubs and if you want a good steak go to either Cut or Carnevino at Palazzo. They are rated number 1 and 2 in Vegas. Dont even go in Circus Circus its a **** hole - if youve got any standards that is.

    Wet Republic is on Saturday only at MGM and is a brilliant. You don't need a cabana, just get a daybed for about $500-$1000 minimum spend (on food or drink). Day starts at around 11.00 - 6.00pm and then its the fight!
