...........of which there are five or six around Vegas called tix4tonite - one at FSM, one at Coke Bottle, one at Hawaiian Market, One at 4 Queens.

Get there 9am and your at the front for 10am opening. Get there 10am and its still an hour queue but the best stuff has gone.

Go back next day with ticket stub from previous day and you get the VIP line ie str8 to the front.

There used to be a print at home vip line pass on the internet somewhere, i will see if i can find it. I have had a good search and can only find a $2 per head off. Looks like they may have stopped the $1 and vip line pass coupon

They did...it made me so sad...especially as when the last one expired I emailed them to ask if it would be renewed again and was told it would...I was so disappointed when it turned into a $2 coupon.

BUT..........they sell a VIP Line pass for $25 for a year. Why doesnt the first person to go buy one, then pass it on to the next person to go for $25, and so on, and once it has been used ten times, they give you your $25 back so the last person has paid $25 for it and then gets the refund, and everyone who has used it gets it for free.

It certainly beats standing in a queue for an hour and a half.

Can anyone else confirm my understanding of how the scheme works......from memory it was slightly different for locals as opposed to travellers.

I assume that the pass will have your name on it...I think the only difference for locals is that they waive the per ticket fee.

this could be done quite easily through paypal or ebay even
