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

[russtcb]

Well I decided to make the switch  I wanted to stay at the Hard Rock all along

It's cool you got to switch for cheap. My thing with hotels in Vegas is that I'm just not in my room enough to care about amenities or whatever. As long as the place is safe and I can pass out for a while between drinking binges, I'm good 

[GnR-NOW]

How did you upgrade to the Hard Rock?  Are you just going to Hard Rock's website and booking your room through that or are you doing a package deal with a flight and hotel?  I just don't know what option to take and it is expensive as hell to fly out of Louisville, KY.  I appreciate any advice.  I have tickets to the 11/24 show.  Thanks!

I called Southwest's Jackpot line and the difference was actually $109 ...

I won't be in the room much either, aside from sleeping all day on Saturday. I plan on partying all night after the show !!!

October 31 - November 5

See you all there.

I have a room at the Flamingo already, which makes it seem a little harder to find a good deal on a roundtrip flight from Louisville, KY to Vegas from Nov. 22 to Nov. 26.  I plan on staying out there for a few days.  Anyone have any other ideas on finding at least somewhat of a cheap flight for this time?  I'll buy you a drink or two if you help me out and I see you there, lol.  Thanks again.

I hope they play "Heartbreak Hotel" at these gigs.

I suggest flying out of a relatively small airport. I'm flying out of Syracuse, NY for $175 whereas it probably would have been close to $400 to fly out of Toronto.

What is the reserved floor seating going to be like ? I have row C, but are the seats going to be right behind? It goes to row R

Nice.

Is that in The Forum Shops at Caesers?

[svdv22]

Is there anybody in Vegas on the 22nd who wants to rent a car with me and go to the grand canyon?
I'm thinking about leaving early and going back home late. I wanna see the canyon in either sunrise (that's TOO early) or sunset (that's doable).

It's a 5 hour drive from Las Vegas to the south rim (according to google maps).

New Gn'R display at the Hard Rock. (kinda liked the fact that it's where the Slash display USED to be.) lol

I ran into it on Instagram, the location is "Fashion Show Mall" (on Google Maps).

Oh ok cool, that's just a little north of where I thought it was.

I guess they weren't kidding when they said GN'R would be plastered all over Vegas!

That's one cool stand, they managed to get Axl's jackets from the 2006 European tour, looks amazing. 

In 2006 when I went to Vegas, I got my photo taken in front of the GN'R display. It had Axl's blue HOB jacket, and also had his cowboy hat and kilt. Is this still there as well?, if so where is this in relation to this stand?.

No, that displays been gone for awhile now. Right before New Years, they had a huge Axl display set up right outside the Joint. That stayed until a few months ago, when they remodeled again. When I was there yesterday, there's a huge empty spot right outside the Joint, opposite where that other one was. I'm guessing they'll fill that with Gn'R stuff. The display in the pic is located right inside the front doors coming in from valet....the circle bar is right behind this.

It's also worth noting that EVERY employee in the place are wearing Gn'R shirts. The front have the rape scene promo, and the back say "staff" and something else, I think the dates.

It's a 5 hour drive from Las Vegas to the south rim (according to google maps).

If I was gonna be there I'd totally be down for this.  Have fun!  If that's too far for you, check out Valley of Fire State Park.  Pretty awesome place.

You should just go!

edit:
Is there anything else that's fun to do in or close to Vegas? Except the obvious gambling and all the stuff that's on the strip

Depends on what you want to do, here's some stuff we've done over time:

The roller coaster at New York, New York right on the strip
Zip line on Fremont Street in downtown Vegas
Shoot machine guns at any number of places
Go to Insert Coin (a classic arcade / bar on Fremont Street)
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is near The Venetian
All the rides on The Stratosphere (which now includes the ability to jump off of it)
Eli Roth's Goretorium is opening on the strip some time in September so I haven't been there but it looks pretty cool and I wanna go in November.

As far as I know, all the surrounding towns (Jean, Henderson, etc) pretty much offer the gambling, shopping and stuff you'll find on the strip.

I read on someone's twitter...maybe Eli Roth's that Dj has been doing a lot of work on the goretorium. Seems like it would be right up DJ's alley! Anyone know if this is true? It sounds like quite the place!!

Whose down for some KISS mini golf? http://www.monsterminigolf.com/kiss/course.html

Haha, I brought my mom there for mothers day. It's VERY generic for a Mini Golf Course.....you'd think with a budget like Kiss', they could afford something much more exciting.
