You should be able to get Carrot Top tickets at Tix4Tonight, but go fairly early in the day as they sell out fast.

In 2 weeks time I'll have seen The Killers!

I meant to ask are you seated or standing at the concert?

If I get to see Carrot Top I'll be happy but will decide over there as we have 3 days of having to be somewhere at a certain time - the shows - so might just chill out the rest of the time - the beauty of being on holiday!!

And, if we don't get tickets - that leaves a show to see next time!! I'd never thought for 1 minute that we would have been going to Vegas for the 3rd time in 18 months - considering I never really fancied it to begin with.

October , November

off to vegas in a few weeks had been watching the american airlines site as we had $400 travel vouchers (they charged our card twice when we went to new york earlier on the year) but with them or BA who we could use them with were coming up more expensive using them than just going with delta or continental etc however suddenly the other week the prices dropped by £300 made it worth our while so got two tickets to vegas for £531

been searching vegassy things but being almost 10 weeks pregnant my patience is limited due to feeling a bit blurrrrr..... just wondering if anyone can help out please with any offers or bargains.

my man wants to see jersey boys for his birthday whilst out there (its mine but donny and marie will be my treat ) but wondered if there were any sites to get cheaper tickets or if jersey boys come up on the half price ticket booths?

VIP tickets currently sold out for my birthday date (its a friday not shocked) now not too worried about a VIP, as had one last year but just wondered if there were other sites that may have bought these up to sell etc or anywhere else other than the flamingo site? failing that will have a VIP another night and see them on my birthday so two trips = yippeee for me lol

fancy cars....he has a bit of a boys dream about a mustang or something big and vrooom vroom like...would like to make his dream come true and order something for him, now i work in travel and sell car hire but with the company we use you have to have a credit card, since our marriage break ups we have sorted ourselves financially (well getting there lol) and neither of us now holds a cc I do have one of the pre paid ones from fx, does anyone know of companies that would accept a visa debit card, or a pre paid or a cash deposit?

any other shows worthy? something good and fun hopefully, this is our last bug hurrah before baby is born and i get too big to waddle or fly lol been to vegas many times in the past few years all donny related but coming for lots of bargain baby shopping too.....just right now somewhat lacking enthusiasm of searching our bargains this time...

many thanks
the pg Hippo :rolleyes:

Yes T4T usually has the Jersey Boys, but they are not half price, maybe 25-30% off.

TravelZoo has them:-

For Donny & Marie VIP, why not try the Flamingo box office once you are there as they may have cancellations.

Hi All,

Does anyone have any idea when shows for February 2010 will start selling?

I’m specifically looking at Bette Midler at Ceasars Palace and Jersey Boys at the Palazzo. At the moment Bette Midler is booking until the end of Jan and Jersey Boys until the 3rd Jan.

Thanks for you help.

Shows normally are available to book 4 months out.

April

I know I asked this a couple of months ago but I'm still scratching about try to find out if Barry Manilow is on next year and its driving me mad. My hubby asks me almost daily if I've booked our holiday for April and I keep having to fob him off with "best deals not out yet" "airline have a sale coming up". I dont want to book and be there on the days he has off just because I didn't investigate it properly. I've emailed the Hilton twice, who ignored me so I thought I would check with the oracles.

P.S. Thanks Ferf for replying to me last time, I did read the link you posted.

Arrived back earlier this morning. Had a fab time and very grateful for all the useful info, Stayed 5 nights in MGM anf then 2 in The Luxor. MGM was lovely. Luxor was a bit of a comedown. Very tatty in my mind and it cost more for the 2 nights than the MGM for 5!! Wish I had found this site before I booked. Will do a report when I am more awake.

Hi,

just got back too: we stayed 12 nights in the Flamingo GO rooms for around £800 each inc flights.

Did anyone else spotted the beggar with a sign saying "Why lie, I need beer"? We must have walked past him every night we were there, and he had a bucket full of bottles next to him every time!

Hi

We're off to Las Vegas at the end of the month - at the Bellagio, and with tickets to see LOVE at the Mirage. it's a few days out from our main trip to various bits of Canada. I'll do a trip report when we get back, but I was wondering if someone could explain how they are managing to get the vouchers from Restaurant.com? You seem to need a US billing address.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Ali
