What is MGM like as an arena? Lets keep the conversation flowing!
$20 beers i assume
Curious as well what it’s like inside. Is it built for concerts and that sort of stuff only or do they hold sports events in there as well? Think your prolly correct with $20 beers

They used to have more events there before T-Mobile was built. I saw Mayweather-Pacquiao there in 2015 and a UFC event. Typical, older arena from what I recall
Is anyone gathering beforehand? There's a TAP sports bar in the MGM. I don't really know that much about the place though.

Smallish, older arena with slow $20 beer service. Black Keys and Band of Horses sounded great. Oddly, that was the first time I set foot in the place in about 15 years of living there part-time.
GA line should start at a slot machine. Just some serious gambling for your 12 hours in line
I've got 72 hours in Vegas (wheels down to wheels up). I'll be damned if I'm going to spend more than 4 hours (2 hrs each night) standing in a GA line.
Just throwing it out there. I’m ISO 2 tickets for both nights. Shoot me a meoif looking to sell and see if we can coordinate a time. Much appreciated. Cheers!

Haha right? I certainly won't be either. Way better things to do in Vegas
i can now happily post that after today, the wife and I are all set for our anniversary trip at both shows. Room booked at MGM Grand months ago and airfare booked last weekend. See you there!
decisions.. do I fly home bright and early on the sunday or opt for late check out and fly home at 6pm.
hows LAS to fly out of in the afternoon? I'm assuming with EDC, it may be a bit busier with those flying home on the sunday? I've pretty much only flown super early (west coast to east coast)

It sucks all the time except early. TSA precheck is only way to go... it's just a really busy airport. Have Uber drop you at arrival instead of departure saves time... if you know your way around
Ok well I'm fully booked now and cant wait! Rooms are really high that weekend, so we're doing the Excalibur. A bit of a downgrade from staying at the Cosmopolitan in December, haha.
For now I'm only doing the Saturday show. We will actually be there late Wednesday. But we're planning on seeing Shania Twain on Friday and PJ on Saturday. So I probably wont want to do concerts 3 nights in a row.

No pre-check here. Figured it was busy all day.
I could sleep on the plane. And I’m staying close to the arena. Just things to think about.
I posted up a pair of tickets in section 207 this morning for both thursday and saturday night on F2F. Not great tickets, but in the building. They were 10C tickets - it's what 344k gets you these days. No complaints, just posting for the curious.
life is in the way of these shows at the moment - chicago will be my shows this year. please enjoy the show on my behalf.
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

I live in Vegas, even with a long line, it moves quickly and efficiently.
Sec 20 Row S & T for the 2 nights if interested. Had a couple 10C peeps that wanted these, but have not heard back since F2F opened. Looking to help a 10C fan out and post @ specific time. Let me know if interested
There are GA tickets as well as some other seats that have been released for the May 17th Dead & Company show at The Sphere for anyone who is interested. I think I recall seeing some people are going to that show in between the PJ gigs. I was on the fence and had been checking just in case and grabbed a GA today.

You really have to laugh at the games that TM plays. There are premium seats available for each night in the exact same sections and seats. Is that a coincidence? I think not.

Never flown later in the day before - how busy would LAS be on a Sunday afternoon - especially with EDC there?
