Has anyone stayed in any of these rooms, would just like to get an idea? As you can see the prices look really tempting for 3 nights stay!

You'd be better off booking direct with one of the links on this. I just cancelled the MGM Grand, and my prices were $49, $49 $49, $99, $99. The link will be a couple of pages back by now. Those prices were for a Grand Tower King room.

Just had a look at the 1st link and it looks quite like a few sites i have seen......
http://shop.ticketluck.com/ResultsTicket.php?evtid=998369
http://tickets.gruvr.com/?concert=The-Killers-in-las-vegas-on-Apr-17-09

I really would like to see The Killers but a bit mind boggled as to which ones are safe? Has anyone ever ordered concert tickets in Vegas off similar sites to these? If so do they actually send the tickets off to your home address or via email so you have to pick them up at the box office? This is another thing i am a bit worried about.

Most of these aren't the sites selling the tickets, but acting as a place for those who have tickets to sell to sell them...so it's usually down to the individual who has listed the tickets to actually get them to you. In some cases tickets are issued as e-tickets (personally, this would worry me as normally e-tickets can only be collected by the person who bought them by presenting valid ID and the credit card used to book - so in those cases I suppose the seller would have to meet you in Vegas)...in other cases where the seller has tickets in hand they would be posted to you.

The one that you likely got to from the link I posted before explains the selling process here:

https://www.ticketsalessupport.com/01961000/FAQ.aspx#PaidAfterEvent

In this case, you pay the reseller company, and a week after the event THEY pay the seller...that gives the buyer time to raise an issue if there was a problem with the tickets.

They dont look tempting to me I always try for an average of £50 a night, having said that I have just checked a few of the MGM offers from here http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/travel-deals/704925/ (on the first page) and those three nights are about $500, so on the face of it it is a good price.

The rooms are good, there are better and worse on the strip. I just dont like the MGM

Yes we did. Thought we'd give it a try, and add another hotel to our list.

https://www.goldstar.com is about the cheapest place you can buy in advance but check the show as some they ahve are main very good ones and others total crap.

Other than that get them direct from the hotels not vegas.com that is a rip off

What we tend to do is book one show that we really want tos ee in advance at full price and then one via goldstar and then take whatever else they have from the booths on the day
