Twelve GN'R shows in Vegas (10/31 - 11/24)

[russkwtx]

If you get off the strip prices for hotels drop significantly. I had a friend who stayed for less than $50 a night. Last December 2011 to see GNR on 12.31 the wife and I stayed in Springhill Suites by Marriot on Paradise Rd., a short walk to Hard Rock Hotel and the Joint. Point is: get off the strip to save big bucks.

I was searching high and low for good deals from Canada but everything was between 400 and 500 bucks and I was getting a bit frustrated...but then I remembered about my airmiles that I've never used. Turns out I had enough saved for 2 round trips. And as far as hotels, the cheapest I could find was Excalibur...super cheap prices compared to everywhere else I checked. Would've loved to stay at the hard rock but excalibur's prices were just to good to pass up. Plus they're the only hotel that keeps their entire pool with all of it's services open through the winter months...just an extra bonus.

I got so lucky on Thursday.  KOMP 92.3, the local rock station in Las Vegas, gave out  a pair of tickets and I won. 

During How the Hell do I know or Lunch with the Morning Show?

Every Thursday they go to a different location for lunch and give tickets away.  They were at some BBQ place near LV blvd/Warm Springs.  I was the 3rd one picked and was shocked the frist 2 people didn't get them.  They only had 1 pair.

I know. I was there. My buddies name is also Adrian. Then Craig seemed like he took 5 minutes to say the last name...haha, I was pissed when he said yours. Congratulations, you'll have a blast.

LOL.  It was my first time going to one of the lunch give aways.  I didn't even know until 11am that day that they had GNR tickets.

If it's somewhat on the same side of town and they have Gn'R tix, I'll be there again this Thursday. I got 12 shows to go to, and I can't quite afford them all, haha, but I'm gonna make it happen somehow.

I went way out of my way for this.  I was at work near CSN on Charleston.  Good luck  getting your tickets.

Same here. We were already gonna go back to Vegas in the beginning of October, but just moved it to the first week in November instead. We got tickets to the November 7th show! We're staying at our favorite place we already stay at which is real close to the Hard Rock anyways.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy airfare?  How is everyone paying for roundtrip tickets?  I am coming from Louisville, KY and everything is over $400.00 for roundtrip airfare.  Thank you in advance.

Depends on when you're flying. Say you just want to go to the Halloween show. . . fly out of Louisville on the 30th and return on the 1st. That's running at $360 right now. Not much less than $400, but $40 is $40.

Anyone else from Saskatoon going?

[grog mug]

I appreciate the quick responses.  I checked/compared airfare(s) today and they actually WENT UP!  They are anywhere from $440.00 to over $500.00 for that particular weekend Nov 22-Nov 26 from Louisville, KY to Las Vegas.  Do guys think I should wait?  How will I know when airfare is the cheapest?

One thing that helps me get the lowest airfare is by having several tabs open on different travel sights and going through each of them at the same time. I would get Expedia, Travelocity, Vegas.com, and cheaptickets.com all open and see who gives you the best. I have saved a few hundred bucks doing it this way. Weird how places offering the same flight can have such big price differences.

Also remember certain Airlines aren't listed in in the travel sites. Like Southwest and Allegiant for example.

I'm flying out of Allegiant and i'm paying under 200 bucks for round trip air fare.

[GnR-NOW]

Round trip and two nights at the hard rock is about $600 each for 2 people. I would do VIP one night and regular the next, but can't convince anyone to make the trip.....

You don't need anyone to make the trip! Gn'R will be here, and that's all that matters!
