Question for Las Vegas Locals....


Yoda

Recommended Posts

Hi Las Vegas people!!! Las Vegans? Las Veganites??

I went to the Nevada thread to post my question but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity there so thought I'd try my luck here.

I'm hoping some of you might have some advice for me. My husband and I are from a small town north of Toronto, Ontario Canada; we are going to go to Vegas in April sometime....we went there 5 yrs ago to get married and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (and, we only spent about $50 in the slot; neither of us are gamblers). Anyways, we want to go back since we had so much fun AND we want to go see Barry Manilow at the Hilton (I adore him and though I've seen him 4 times....the last time was about 22 years ago!). He wasn't playing there 5 yrs ago when we went and because the trip alone tapped us out, we didn't go to any concerts. This time around, we really want to see Barry and perhaps go to another show of some sort.

So, my question to you Vegas locals are.....is there ANY way to get tickets at a cheaper price than what is advertised online and at the hotels and thru travel agents etc....? I mean, do you locals have some sort of secret way to get tickets cheaper? LOL. If so, PLEASE share with me your suggestions......you can pm me if you like.

Also, if you have any suggestions for seeing the "real" Vegas.....I'm open to them and would greatly appreciate it. We love the strip and certainly want to do that again (& stay on the Strip again) but this time around we also want to get off the strip!!! LOL.

Thanks all!!!!

Vegas ROCKS!

Hey, I am not a local, but I have gone to Vegas every year for the last 3 years. I would suggest checking out the 1/2 price ticket booths. There is one @ the Coca Cola Bottle by MGM, there is another one in Fashion Show Mall, and I know there's one downtown somewhere. You won't find tickets do any of the major shows (Cirque Soliel or Celine Dion), but they have a lot of other tickets. I don't specifically recall seeing Barry Manilow, but I wasn't looking either. I don't think he has a permanent show, so that might make it harder. I could be wrong.

You can get a lot of good info on tripadvisor.com. Go to one of the Forums and post. There are a lot of Vegas experts and other knowledgeable people.

Oh, and as for as the hotels giving you discounts, they do for some shows, but usually none of the really good ones. Staying @ Caesars and having a Total Rewards card got us a good deal for Price as Right Tickets, lol...It was fun though.

Have fun in Sin City!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
