    Those dates are nailed on for me as I'm doing other things on that trip. I'm just hoping that's when the fight happens (if it happens)

    im not fussed about where i stay although i know it can be a walk from the stratosphere but wouldnt be that bothered.i did wonder if getting tickets would be a problem as yanks will snap up whatever they put on general sale.

    If Pac-Floyd is made - when do you reckon this might take place - beginning summer @May?

    If that fight is made I'm going. Definitely.

    Any idea how much the total spends will be?

    Flights, digs, ticket and spending money......

    If I can persuade a mate to come with me (unlikely) I think I'll go.

    You should get flights, digs and a ticket for £800, that's based on a 3 day stay with a $600 fight ticket, travelling via Atlanta on Delta. Spends....the Sky is the limit...£1,500 normally does me for a trip to Las Vegas...if your gambling then drink us free...

    You are welcome to join us Beeston on any of the trips...:good

    That's not as bad as I was expecting, then again Queensbury Travel usually offer some decent deals.

    Is the $600 seat a good one.... was just thinking if the $400 ones (or similar) are OK - it will probably be in the MGM.... apparently there isn't a bad seat in the house.

    If you can gamble on the 50p tables like at Napoleon's in Leeds I'm sorted :yep

    Thanks mate, may have to take you up on the offer :good

    We book it all seperate, we don't go near a travel agent.. There ain't a bad seat in the MGM...I paid $600 for my Hatton v PBF ticket, it was at the back but still a great view. Paid $400 for Hatton v Pac Man and had a better seat and better view....the tickets will be expensive for this as it will sell out, Pac Man will have 8,000 fans there no danger...

    As for gambling.... They have slots that take a minimum of 5c and if your gambling the ale or cocktails are on the house...:good

    Freemont St is always worth a trip too...$20 in a taxi...it's a great afternoon on the ale...some great bars...:nut

    Yes Gaz..it's a cracking place...so easy to blow your money... So an afternoon is nice enough on each Las Vegas trip...:yep

    Mean't to say in a previous post... The MGM is a great place to watch boxing but I think that the best venue on the planet to watch boxing has to be The Thomas and Mack Centre in Las Vegas... Went there for Hatton v JLC and JC v B-Hop... Nothing to touch it, has the lot...:good

    I saw 5 nights in the MGM with a flight from London for 550 the other day, theres loads of great deals around with other hotels aswell.
