    If I don't emigrate to Oz I am defo going to a big fight in Vegas this year ( hopeing for May 5th ) I always stay in Mandalay Bay but this time I think the wives will be staying home so will prob look at Excalibur as its normally the cheapest or Luxor ! If you book with Hotel DIRECT you can cancel up to two days before and you get your deposit back ! Just an idea if you wanted to get good price before a fight was announced ? But as I said earlier I have been offered a job in the land down under so my weekends in Vegas could be over ( no one to have my kids ):yikes

    Nice cheers for that info bud, Was looking at hotels yesterday on tripadvisor, there are some nice hotels, which do you reccomend, i was originally looking at circus circus as it came in cheap with the thomas cook package, but i looked on the map and it probs take 30 mins to walk to the middle of the strip, which i dont mind but its just having the convience to walk out of your hotel and your there!


    what job you looking at getting btw?

    cheers

    As I said I stay in Mandalay Bay BUT when I have gone my wife has been with me :twisted: If I was going with the boys I'd stay Excalibur or Luxor for cheaper options ! I would defo stay south end of strip as the north end "looks" dodgy as feck ! If you like a drink it is cheaper to lose $200 playing Black Jack as all your drinks are free ( just tip waitress $1 ) last time I went starting gambling at 2300 in New York New York finished gambling at 0800ish in the Mandalay Bay and I was only $200 down and I was hammered ! Bought a round at the bar in Mandalay Bay which was 2 bottles of Bud and 2 vodkas with coke came to $40! BUT be warned after Khan knocked Judah out early me and my mate had a sneaky gamble before the girls came back and I lost $200 in about 30 mins:nut

    I've been offered Train Driving job

    $40 WTF! how did that happen? im not getting ripped off by anyone, Although they may of took advantage of you due to the state you were in lol, Good thing is though i dont drink so i have not got that problem. Ill stick to the lemonade and coke!!

    Ill have a go at gambling and see where it takes me!

    Do the cheaper hotels such as luxor excal etc have good facilities? flat screen tvs and that?

    cheers mate and btw good luck with the new job thing!

    I bought the drinks at the bar at the start of the night so was sober ! Bottles are Bud are about $7 the Vodka's must have done the damage. Not sure about other hotels as I've only stayed in Mandalay ! You wont be in room that much anyway ! I think the buffet in the Luxor is quite cheap and the Excalibur has a food court so food will be cheaper !

    Is it safe to say that the bill is back on for May 5th? at the MGM.

    I dont really like Floyd, but boxing is boxing so id still go, tbh id rather wait for pacman, but cant see him fighting in vegas for his next fight so i got to weigh it up.
