    We should all have a drink. There should be a good 25 of us.

    We should find somewhere to meet up for the weigh in and before the fight.

    ESB on the Beano to Vegas I like it.

    Your best bet is to get a map of Vegas off Google, then get a list of hotels and just price up the bookings. All the Vegas hotels seem to have the same software for you to get an estimate of the cost and its really easy to use..a 2 minute job.

    If you havn't booked the flight yet you may be better off getting a package deal. I saved over 150 quid per person on 5 nights at the MGM by getting a package.

    No mate just flight and hotel but separately the cost came to around 800 pp, together they came to 630 but that includes 40 to get to Amsterdam for the connecting flight.

    The prices I was getting for a guaranteed ticket where obscene, even booking just the flights/ hotel through a sports trip firm (ie. something thats easy enough to do yourself) was adding 200 quid to the price!!

    In the end I got the exact package a sports firm were offering for 999 for 630 but I've got that one extra connection to Amsterdam....

    I paid £640 for 7 nights in the MGM flying from London via Philly. We should all go for a few beers at the main bar in the MGM (The Centifrudge i think) and then to studio 54 its quality in there.

    I've got Liverpool-Amsterdam-Denver-Vegas. Manchester was too expensive and London is just a pig to get to from here.

    First time post here :happy
    I'm a main stream boxing fan, I work with achillesthegreat who is teaching me as much as possible about boxing. Went to my first boxing event earlier this year for the Calzaghe v Manfredo fight in Cardiff, was brilliant.

    And I'm going with Achillesthegreat and the other lads to Vegas for 10 days. Definitely meet for the drink lads, it only makes sense!
