Are they any cigar shops close to the Hard Rock? I'm going to need a few ACIDS (a brand of cigar) for the shows
The High Rollers Cigar Smoke Shop is right across the street.

Anyone starting to get excited?
A lady I know that works at the Hard Rock said "good." That's all i got out of her. There are tickets still available for every show though. Most likely we'll have sell outs, but not until the day of.

I'm going to TRY go to them all. If I do GA for every one, I just won't be able to afford it though. So I think I'll go GA on some, and then Balcony on others.

I find it's a tough choice - wanting to get a good view of the band up close and getting better sound further away so I decided to do one day GA and one day balcony. Best of both worlds in one weekend!

Same days as me but opposite order! I see you also went to the Silver Spring show in Feb. That show was great - the best I've been to with this lineup.

Sweet! Yeah, the way I look at it is, although I prefer GA, I'd rather be at 2 sitting on the balcony than 1 GA. I have 3 GA so far, Halloween, and the last 2. Gonna buy a few this weekend, somehow I'll make all 12! lol. If I don't have a ticket come a show day, I'll just go and see what happens. I'm sure at a last resort I could snag a cheap ticket there.

Since there's a lot of people flying in to Las Vegas, possibly visiting for the first time, it would be nice if those more familiar could offer some advice to their fellow fans.
Where to eat, what to see, what to avoid, how to get around etc.
/jarmo
I live exactly 5 miles down the road from the Hard Rock. If anyone has any questions at all, don't hesitate to message me! (We'll try to keep that stuff out of this thread.)
For a start though. There's plenty of cool/free things that are must sees for the first timer. The Fountains at Bellagio is probably the coolest on the strip. Also, Freemont Street is a MUST SEE. Go at night, on an off show day. The canopy provides amazing light shows, everything's closer together, and the people watching alone is worth the trip. I always tell my visitors from out of town to forget the Strip, and go to Freemont. It's much cheaper, and IMO, much more fun. Go to the Strip to see it, then go party on Freemont. IMO, once you've seen one Casino, you've seen them all. There are many great shows to check out on the Strip though, just don't even think about going to see Chris Angel.
You'll also he "Half Price Show Ticket places all around, check them out, you can get great deals. As far as food goes, I'm not one to ask in that regard. There's many places around town that I LOVE, but I realize most people won't be leaving the Tourist areas to go eat. Some notable places though are The Hash House A Go Go inside Imperial Palace, and the HEart Attack Grill on Freemont. Haven't had a better burger or shake yet. As far as travel goes....there is the Monorail that runs from MGM all the way up to the Sahara, but that won't get you to the Hard Rock. There used to be a free shuttle from The Harley Davidson Cafe to the Hard Rock, but I'm not even sure if it's there anymore. Most Hotels have their own shuttles to and from the Airport, but if you cab it, just make sure the driver doesn't take you on a freeway. I don't care what he says, or even if it appears you're headed in the right direction, if you get on a freeway, he's ripping you off. For the drinkers out there, don't waste your money on drinks inside the casinos. Whenever I go to the Hard Rock, I go across the steet and get a 6 or 12 pack, then go over. You won't be able to get it in the Joint, but they don't care if you bring it in the Casino. Even better if you have a room there, then you can just stow it in the sink with ice.
All in all, it is Vegas, and most things are over priced, but that's the same with any tourist destination. Just remember: FREEMONT STREET!
Thanks for the tips.
Things to see:
Freemont Street
The fountains at Bellagio
Places to eat:
The Hash House A Go Go (inside Imperial Palace)
Heart Attack Grill on Freemont

There's a Hash House inside The Plaza on Fremont Street as well. I've eaten at both so whichever one you're near is good to hit.
If anyone is looking for fine dining, I cannot recommend Bouchon in The Venetian enough. We've eaten there a few times and it's just incredible food.

Also those who are coming to Vegas, make sure if you take a Taxi from Airport to your Hotel, tell the Cabbie "No Tunnel" there's been problems with long hauling. Just a little tip.

Yep, the tunnel brings them in the totally opposite direction straight onto the freeway. They do it ALL the time.

From a recent Bumblefoot interview:
"How's it going concerts? Appetite for Democracy! How was this idea?
The concerts have been great this past year... 3-hour shows, adding some songs we hadn't played in other tours. The residency will be interesting, something we haven't done before. I'm expecting the whole experience to be a more personal one for fans."
Hoping for more Chinese Democracy songs, Oh My God, Silkworms and maybe new songs.
