    Can anyone help clarify whether or not you need to be 21 to get into a boxing event in Vegas.

    For example I'm hoping to travel over to see Calzaghe and if it takes place at the MGM Grand I presumed I would not be able to attend as you need to be 21 to enter the Casino where all the build up and actual fight takes place.

    Any idea?

    There is no age requirment to attend the fight or eat in teh casino's restraunt or sleep the in the casinos hotel or anything like that. You just won't be able to gamble ro drink that's all.

    You think calzage vs hopkins will happen in the MGM grand? I know hopkins was insisting on Yankees Stadium

    You can walk across a casino as long as you stick to the marked walkways many carpets have printedon them supposedly, you wont get a drink and by law shouldn't actually be on the casino gaming areas... But you can easily get away with it by just looking and acting properly.. You however can get into boxing shows from a very early age, my friend took his 8 year old son to a fight at MGM this year.. I first went to a vegas show when i was 17 too, no worries at all...
     
  5. I live here in Vegas so i can tell you they are very strict about Gambling and or drinking if you are under 21, so don't push your luck or you will be arrested, but you can get in the MGM grand garden and watch the fight as long as you are 18, just don't get caught with a drink in your hand or you will be 86'd and miss a DAMN go:smoke od fight...

    You just can't be hangin out watching the gamblers. If you are moving through the hallways and main areas, then it's fine.
