SHZA, bell desk I'm assuming you mean at MGM? Like they would hold my bag even if I'm not staying there? I'm trying to maybe be cheap this year and stay at the Holiday Inn for much less although now that I'm looking at it, it's only about $100 more to stay directly at MGM over the Holiday inn using the MGM Rewards Flexible Rate. hmmm
I've used bell desk at hotels I'm not staying at many times. When GnR opened the T-Mobile a few years ago I had a super early flight a few hours after the show ended. I checked my bags at NY NY during the show then went straight back to the airport. Only time I ever had an issue was a small hotel in Boston, front desk said I couldn't check them if I wasn't staying there. So I just went to the hotel bar, ordered a beer and left my stuff at my bar stool for an hour while I went to the courthouse next door lol. MGM is massive enough that they probably won't ask. I'd just ask the bell man if you can check your bags and hand him a tip.

With the announcement apparently imminent, I figured it's never too early to line up for rail!
Just make sure to write #1 on your hand right now in permanent marker to make sure you’ve secured your spot. Also, as a backup plan, you might want to grab a stack of wristbands of every color with the #1 printed on them just in case the “official fan-run hand marking system” isn’t honored. 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry to go off the food topic, but random tour question...
What's the closest anyone has cut it from landing in a city -> in your seat(pit) at the show?
Like, all assumptions aside like: I have a ticket, I have a flight, flight is on time, deboarding is smooth, ubers are fast... Is 1 hour enough to get from Las Vegas airport to a ~9PM show start at MGM Grand Arena?
Bonus question, in this scenario, what have you done with your bag given not enough time to check into a hotel to drop it off? Find a locker?
I might try to land in Auckland and hit the show that night if my airline doesn't bump my flight (switch to earlier arrival). I will have time to ditch my bag though. Sometimes with jet lag, there's that long time after being on a plane energy just to get out and move - were here tired excitement sooooo...
I did Dana Point -> arrive -> ditch bags -> hit show. Early start day!! Pipsqeuak hung in there Change your hotel to something on route to ditch your bag if you don't want to backtrack to the airport locker? Sometimes there was lockers on grounds like at Dana Point? Put spare undies in pocket? Travel with ID credit card? Go commando next day?
That's rough with jet lag to NZ. Doing it in same time zone (to Ohana) not as unusual. Even if you sleep on plane it's really rough...

Ya, we board in the evening and arrive 11am. I'm getting some anti-anxiety pills to help me sleep. Cheaper than signature class, haha. Although those lie flat seats are tempting enough to put a last minute bid in. 🤔
We can settle into our beautiful digs, dine and refresh, and if we have catch that evening show then at least we won't go to bed in the middle of the day! That might help us sleep at the end of the night and start our mornings properly next day.
I really didn't plan anything else except for a bungy and ferry ride for those first few days. Just beautiful waves sounds and PJ ❤️
