Also May 28th is UFC 130 at the MGM which I'd imagine will push prices up.

Good news for me though being a huge UFC fan. :T:j

and May 30th is Memorial Day, so should be a busy weekend

oooh really jealous. My DH and I managed to go when there was a WEC on, its great if there's a fight on when you're there as it means there's loads of fight events beforehand. We got to meet loads of fighters - lots of signings at the Gun Store, LX fight store and Silverstar did a signing before the show.

Quick question folks, group of 14 of us in Vegas this Weekend coming, we are after a nice meal to celebrate a 40th birthday. Any good recommendations from anyone who has visited recently that can cater for a group our size.Nothing too OTT, or expensive, but likely to be a good experience. Ideally below $50 each please. Ta

Couple of dates to be aware of that will send MGM room rates skywards.

12th March Cotto v Mayorga WBA super light middleweight title fight
7th May Pacquiao V Mosley WBO welterweight title fight.

MGM announced they sold 16,000 fight tickets for the pacman already, minimum room prices a tad shy of $250 at the moment.

We are at the MGM at the same time as the Pacquiao fight. Just as well it was booked before it was annouced.

If fact I would put money on their being a big fight at the MGM the first weekend in May as there has been for the past 4 or 5 years when we have been there.

Both those fights were announced about 3 months ago and the room rates have been sky high since.

You haven't said what type of food. Maggiano's at the Fashion Show Mall, which is an Italian, or Mon Ami Gabi at Paris, which is a French steakhouse, may fit the bill.

Thanks, with it being a group, I suppose something for everyone really rather than just a specialist

Has anyone ever got student discount on cirque tickets? Was just looking on mgm's website at Ka and it says students get 35% off, but doesn't say how to get it, or what they'll accept as student ID!

I have a proper NUS + ISIC student card this year, but OH only has the NUS part.

Will obviously keep looking for better offers, but 35% off seems quite good if we can get it :T

Doesn't look like the links work but it does say you can call to book - use the International Call Checker on this site to get cheap calls to the US.
