    Couldnt see anything on this further down.

    It sounds as though the fight is all but signed and a group of about 5 of us are hoping to make the trip. I know its early but none of us have ever been to Vegas (assuming the fight is held there), so if anybody could offer any advice on purchasing tickets, etc Id really appreciate it. Its going to be very difficult as it will obviously sell out fast, but theres no harm in trying:good

    **** that.

    I would advise anyone flying to Vegas to stump up the extra couple of hundred if you can afford it and fly direct also. I had to change over in Texas last time and it was a killer.

    I'd probably pay it to be honest, all views in the MGM are meant to be good and it's a huge occasion.

    I dont think I'll get a choice though, I cant imagine many going on sale to the public and whatever ones do you'll probably be up against 100s of 1000s of peoples.

    Nah. Indirect is a grueler but that extra few hundred dollers for women and gambling is much more well spent:hey
    Bought my tickets through ticketmaster and just picked them up at the arena. Piece of ****. You'll have the time of your life my friend:yep

    I have done Las Vegas a few times....Delta 65 via Atlanta on a Thursday from Manchester is good value...you have a reasonable transfer time ang get through immigration so when you get off in Las Vegas you are straight in...although for the extra money direct had to be the best option...:yep

    My mate bought a ticket for PBF v Hatton via a US ticket agency, within 30 minutes of contacting them they delivered it to our reception at The Mandalay Bay....can't argue with that...:good

    I would reccomend The Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo and Hooters, stayed in them and they are great value and there location to the MGM and Thomas and Mack Centre is spot on... you can walk to both...:yep

    You and your mates will have a ball... make sure you do Freemont St...:nut

    I'll be there.

    I went to Hatton-Pacquiao and I had the shittest $350 tickets in the house and it was still an immense view.

    I'll be going as well mate, me and a few others are heading over. Hope to get a ticket but certainly won't bank on it.

    The best way of going over I've found is stopping in los Angeles, it's under an hour to Vegas from there and you get all the customs **** out the way in LA so when you land in Vegas your free to pick up your bags and go. It's easy enough to book it that way if you fly with American airlines.

    Last time I went stayed at Excalibur, cheap enough and perfect location besid MGM and New York New York.

    Excalibur's great value, i stayed at the MGM this time for the Cotto/Pac fight as i always end pissed up in the mgm zuri bar so it's just a left turn into the elevators, but the prices are going to shoot through the roof at the MGM/Manderlay for this one, anyway you're never in yer room are yer & the excalibur as you've said is in the perfect place & CHEAP:deal

    Exactly, spent more time in the zuri bar than my own room last time I went over. Great bar, that's where I got chatting to billy graham and met mayweather snr. Saw Noel gallagher as well but he was a stuck up ****.

    Can't wait for this fight, will be my 4th time in Vegas ****in love the place.

    Once Vegas has that grip on yer then it's for life, everone is glad to get home after the 1st trip over as it's an overload on the brain, but once yer back yer get that tickle & next time can't come quick enough.

    Yeh that was a blast in the zuri for the hatton/mayweather job, i've been going for 20 years now & i don't take any **** from any stuck up ****s from here who come with a ponce attitude, i don't give a **** who they are, i tell the twats to leave all that bull**** attitude at heathrow, this is vegas!!!! so **** off!!! sorts em out & half the time it's because they feel out of there depth in vegas & thats what gallagher's all about, he ai'nt no big deal over there, you've been 4 times now so yer now the ropes, only one thing rules or gets respect in vegas & it's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:deal

    I like to hang with the mexican's/yanks anybody that ai'nt got some puffed up attitude, i'am always walking around like a zombie as i can't sleep i got about 8 hours max in 4 days for the Hatton/Pac fight:lol:

    The birds there must be sensational! I've got to shag an American bird before I die, or just shag a bird in America, either will do.

    Dunno why, it's just a big thing on my "to do" list. Though I can imagine you get some right stuck up slags there chasing P Diddy or whatever or rich boy is in town.

    You'll get all the shaggin you want in Vegas, every bloke is up for grabs & hunted down by the hookers as well, $150.00 is about the average price but you can beat them down to $20.00 in the MGM Zuri bar at around 4.30 when they all come in to fleece us once we've had a couple of gallons.

    Gotta be carefull though as some irish lad got fleeced in his room of $17,000 & all his mates tickets/credit cards & passports, this hooker must had had a seditive pasted onto her nipples, one of the irish lads went back to his room & found his mate on the bog, the feller on the bog told him to leave as he'd got a bird in bed, the other lad said there's no one here yer daft ****, WHAT??? safe door open & everything GONE:lol: happens every trip:rofl
