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

[cotis]

I've stayed at the LVH (Hilton) before... it was about $10 ride to the Hard Rock (if I remember right...).

There's the monorail thing you can take to the strip and what not which is cool, the LVH is just a bit out of the way.

The room we had was nothing special, just your basic room but nothing terrible.... and this was before the renovation/name change.

[GnR-NOW]

Theres a La Quinta Inn up Paradise Road that is mapquested at 1 minute from the HRH. This might be a good option and it's also the cheapest

Im staying at Las Vegas Super 8 which is .7 miles from Hard Rock, I just need a bed won't be there much, but I got air and hotel from Nove8-11 from JFK, 465$. And .7 miles is walking distance, I walk more here in the city daily..

The Excalibur is $35 during the week and $85 on the weekend for either 2 queens or 1 king. Plus full pool service year round.

Wow that is nice and cheap!  How far away from the gig?

[JeffK]

The Excalibur is close as far as hotels on the strip go. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the strip to the hard rock...so I'd say about a half hour walk or 3 minute cab ride.

I'm staying at the same place I always stay in Las Vegas. It's a place called Terrible's and it's less than a mile from the The Joint. They're always ultra cheap and it's a decent place. Clean, good size rooms, nice little gaming floor, easy access to everywhere you need to get in Vegas, etc.. For those interested, here's their website:

We're staying Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night for $30 each night which you cannot beat.

My wife and I will be staying at Aria on the strip for the November 2nd and 3rd shows!

General info for anyone who ordered tix via ground(ctrl):

Why didn't my tickets ship to me as soon as I ordered them?
We ship our tickets to you the day they arrive at our warehouse, but we do not receive the tickets from the promoter until the pre-sale is closed and off sale.

When will my tickets ship?
Fan club pre-sale tickets generally ship to us about 2-3 weeks before the event date and we ship them you to the day they arrive at our warehouse.

What happens if my shipped tickets are lost?
If the package is returned to us, we will contact you to coordinate reshipment.  In the case that the package is lost or delayed by the shipping service while in transit, or by you after being delivered, a list of all ticket purchasers will be provided to the venue box office and they will be able to reissue new sets of tickets to the purchaser at the will call box office on the day of the event upon presentation of a photo ID and receipt.

Sounds like there are some good deals around.

What is the deal with navigating your way round Vegas? Are we talking cabs everywhere? If so, are they reasonably priced and do you need to tip?!!

I remember in Canada 2010, you needed to tip for everything! This was a shock for me coming from a country with no customer service culture.

GREG

[jarmo]

do you need to tip?!!

Yes, the USA is one of those countries where tipping is a custom.

Cabs, 10-20%....

If you're staying on the strip, you'd be best off taking a cab over to the Hard Rock.  You COULD walk it, but it's a bit of a hike.  However, it's not so far, so a cab ride is reasonably priced.  It's been awhile, but I'd say it's no more than a 10 minute ride WITH traffic, and there's plenty of that in Vegas.  And yes, you should tip at least a few bucks.  It won't break the bank though.

Yeah it's a hell of a deal. I've been staying there for about 10 years now. It doesn't have all the glitz and glamour that the strip hotels have but it doesn't need to. It's got clean, good sized rooms, a nice little casino, a couple of good bars, a good sized pool, etc.

As others are saying, tipping is customary for cabs in Las Vegas. As I mentioned above, you could just get a cheap room there and it's about a half mile (3 minute) walk to the Hard Rock.

[axlrosegnr]

Just make sure the cab driver doesn't bring you the "LONG" way.

[jarmo]

That's true in most places....

You get some "sightseeing" because the cab driver says there's traffic or something.
