Advice on going to Vegas for a fight

[The_Visitation]

This is what f**ks me off most about the fight being in Vegas just for the benefit a few greedy bastards in the US. Had the fight been at Wembley the ringside seats would still have been expensive (although not THAT expensive) but tens of thousands of tickets would have been available to real fans at issue price. I'm guessing the cheapest would only have been a very affordable £100-£150 or so, and there are very, very few seats in that stadium where you wouldn't have had a decent view.

20,000. Whoopy ****. Bloody yanks. No offence.

It wouldn't be a PPV event had it been held at Wembley Stadium, so they would lose out on all of the revenue generated by PPV buys.

I thought i may make the trip over to watch Pac-Hatton, it'll be my first fight EVER!

Anyone know how much ticket prices usually are? How pricey do they get?

Any other info would be helpful, like hotels etc.

Try to get the tickets ASAP before they sell out, cuz if they do, then you'll have to buy them from a broker (re-sale) for about 50 percent above face value.

If they do sell out, then just chance it and get em from a scalper at the MGM or wherever the fight is. You'll get em for cheap.

Don't get so drunk that if you meet Ricky Hatton, you won't be able to understand a word he's saying.

Bet smart.

Don't bet on Oscar.

Take some fighter pictures, a sharpy, a boxing glove as you will see plenty of fighters in the casino; autograph opportunities.

Take an ice chest; the cheaper rooms typically don't have refrigerators.

Take your own beer, the **** is expensive there.

Take plenty of cash; 5 dollar ATM fees at the hotels.

Watch out for hookers, they are everywhere.

I wish they named the site so I can book my trip to stay in whatever casino's hotel that's going to have it. I want to be right in the thick of the action all week long.

Are hotel prices going to jump to stay on site as soon as it's announced???

Personally, I hate L.V., but when I go there I've found this hotel to be good. The thing about it is, depending upon what's going on at the time, it can be either very cheap or very expensive. The prices fluctuate wildly. Maybe if you book way in advance you can get the cheap price, otherwise with 10 million crazy drunken Brits invading everything will be sold out and top price, unless you book a package some place. Here's the link:



I also know a very good Thai restaurant in LV, just a little away from the downtown tourist district, in case you like Asian food, which you probably don't.

You don't need to drink Budweiser or some other US pisswater. Just go to a liquor store and buy bottles of something good, like strong ale or stout. No problema. I like Old Ras*****, but that's probably too strong for you mamas boys!

Well said, I'm sure, even tho I've never tasted real - presumably German - Budweiser, or maybe even the old time original USA Budweiser.
