    First time going to Vegas. Staying at Aria. Anyone familiar with the area and distance to MGM? Is it walkable or Uber needed or close to tram? Thx
    Very walkable.  You're on the other side of the strip but you can cross over in many places.  NYNY to MGM is a cool bridge walk because of the view and I would imagine a ton of Jammers crossing over to MGM pre-show as well.  There is a group of us at that Park MGM, between MGM and Aria and I think that whole area of the strip is going to be Jammers all weekend!  Will be a blast...

    It's close in terms of Vegas casinos but give yourself plenty of time if you have to be somewhere at a certain time. It could take you 15 minutes to go from your room to the street. Another 15-20 minutes from street to get to MGM Grand. If youre going straight to the arena there is a small street that is next to Hard Rock that leads back to the arena. It will save you time. If you google map it you will see what i mean. I have a room booked at Vdara, the sister hotel of Aria. Love them both. See you there. 
    Play Sacramento!

    Great info gerald605  you are correct , ( i'm a frequent visitor ) its amazing how much time it takes to walk in , walk by , walk through , places in Vegas , Most places are HHHuge , The Aria is a cool place , close by as well - good choice ! , PS Coma_Girl after the show walk back , or go party ,( or do both ) "don't" get in a taxi/ uber line after the show ,  unless you want to wait and wait and wait , The MGM will get extremely busy Friday night , Lots of fun to truck through the casino on your way into/ out of ! and take it inn , PJammers will be everywhere ! easier to truck around and take it in ! its  Friday Night in Vegas Baby !! Cheers!

    @Shoulder2112 I agree about the walking, and it’s more my thing. After the show everyone’s adrenaline will be high. Should be a crazy fun night. I’m looking forward to it!!

    Ellis Island BBQ seems to have a limited menu but looks to have great reviews. Anyone here recommend it for good BBQ food or something better?
