Anyone going to Las Vegas?  Where are you staying? Best way to get tickets, etc.

Staying at the Rio. Wife got a pretty good deal (they rape you on out of state resort fees though). Still trying to get tickets. Don't want nosebleeds, but also don't want to donate towards a scalper's tuition fund drug habit.

Booked at Horseshoe (formally Ballys).  Seatgeek tickets are really high.  Looking for a better option.

How does anyone even scalp a ticket any more when everything is on the phone?

They might not be standing outside with a sign, but they'll definitely buy out tickets from any avenue they can and flip them on sites like vivd seats for 10x what they got them for.

If you go to the T-Mobile venue page, the tickets are sold out.  So theoretically, all tickets will have juice on them.

If it was like it was 15 years ago it has lots of womens dancing on the casino machines. Probably lots of trans womens now though.

I have a distant cousin, 4th or something Idk, who was the corporate lawyer for Holiday Inn when they owned Harrah's and Rio.  When I was in high school we went out to visit and that dude got us hooked up with top-level room at Harrah's for nothing.  Friday night we go to meet him and his wife at the restaurant at Rio (Voodoo's?) and when we walk up to the front of the hotel I'm noticing this Saleen Mustang convertible with the top down and keys in the ignition.  While we're eating he says something to me about his new car and I have to ask.  Of course in his midlife crisis he had stopped and bought that Mustang on the spur of the moment, and had the habit of parking at the front doors and letting security watch his stuff for him.

Csb and all but corporate lawyers are awesome tour guides in a place like Vegas.  Want to see security rooms, vaults, or where bodies in cornfields are buried?  Knowing a guy like him is one of the ways.

If Alli were interviewing me, I'd be smiling too.

hope nobody gets arrested in Vegas, they seemed so excited about it that it could be a country comes to town moment

Yeah, our last team's trip to Vegas didn't go so well.  
Most of our O line on the blackjack tables at 2 AM less than 48 hours before game time was kind of a clue that we weren't exactly locked in on that trip.

How much are tickets going for on Thursday? Thought about going but I'm already flying the next two weekends in a row

Obviously depends on what type of view you're looking for, but near as I can tell, just to get in the door is a little under $350 per if you're buying for both sessions and about $230 for just the first day. Of course that will get you somewhere on top of the arena.

[Barton Fink]

Looks like we will be at Park MGM.

Who's got my ticket?

[Hogworth Ballington III]

Who's got my ticket?

Hell, I need to figure out how to break it to my wife that I just spent close to 3k on the last ticket in what will probably end up being the UConn fan section.

[Barton Fink]

Shit, for 3k they should give you at least 5ons on the court.

Yeah I didn't want to do it, but after seeing it go from 15 tickets left in that section yesterday to 1 today, I said screw it. Not like my kids are college material anyway.
