Money in vegas.

When walking the strip you will get lots of Mexicans handing out cards advertising stunning babes for about $30 to visiting your hotel.

I never phoned one, but doubt it would have been as cheap as that if someone tuned up.

Gambling, warm weather, gambling, entertainment, gambling, alcohol, gambling, swimming pools, gambling. Maybe a trip to the Grand Canyon. Can't see the appeal myself, best cancel my trip next month.

I've been four times with mates for 4 or 5 nights each time. Still haven't been to the Grand Canyon despite planning on going each time. It would've eaten into gambling and drinking time.

There is one on the evening Argus Albion comments section who is always posting long statements usually of nonsence about a club who he can rarely see in the USA

Cheers all.

We are staying 2 miles off the strip at some beach resort place. We have an 8 person suite for 6 of us. They mucked up as we only paid 800 quid for 3 nights so less than 50 quid a night each. Same room ( we booked day fight announced) now almost 2k - so we have already beaten vegas.

Hotels on strip take the piss with prices for this fight.

We have booked a helicopter for the six of us to GC and can't wait for that. We are calling that day super Saturday with Grand Canyon and then the fight and then God knows what.

Flights to Vegas also crazy so going to LA and driving over (one of my mates has a cousin in Malibu beach to stay a night with). We fancied a day in LA so it made sense.

I am going to investigate pre paid account.

Can't wait.

If you are going for a casual trip that weekend this might not be the best option!!!

Firstly the prices will be ramped up everywhere. For example I got tickets for jay z on Saturday after the fight. I was very lucky. These tickets sold out in minutes and are now 800 bucks! (Bear in mind this is for entrance to a nightclub. Tables for that night start at 50 grand. Obviously this is extreme but gives you the general trend.

Secondly and importantly you are not staying on the strip. Therefore forget getting cabs before or after the fight. The fight will ONLY be shown at mgm properties. The entrance to Watch on a big screen will be around 200 bucks and that's if you're lucky and get a ticket.

In short unless you are bringing a lot of cash and are very organised that weekend may turn into a nightmare quickly.

All good points. The hotel is only a couple of miles from strip and there is a shuttle bus which runs non stop. We are prepared for a battle to get the tickets for the cctv. It is going to be effing expensive but my mate said the fight weekend would be his stag weekend so we have to go!
