Any local here with experience in parking for the show tonight? If I park at MGM, will I be waiting a long time to get out of the garage after the show? I'm reading OYO is a good alternative spot, anyone park there and walk over? Does security hassle you for not being a guest of the hotel? I know TI started hassling people for parking on their lot if they're not guests. Not trying to come out to a missing/towed car when I have work Friday morning.
Local here, I usually park at New york New York garage and walk around to get to the venue. Its a bit more trusting.
Thanks, I think I'll do that. Coming from Summerlin, I won't have to cross LV BLVD, always a plus when I can avoid that.
Is it free? Or like $12
I think it's $18. Not too many free places to park on the strip anymore, even for locals. My go-to us usually TI, but that's too far down the strip from the MGM.
Not sure how many it will apply to, but found out today that if you have a military ID and get the MGM rewards card, you get bumped up a tier that gives you free parking.

A friend who has lived in Vegas for over 25 years recommended parking at Orleans and taking a Urber or bus to MGM.
Not sure if it was in this thread or elsewhere but thanks to whoever gave the tip about getting the MGM app to skip the check in line. I’m not yet sure if this will work for me today but I’m definitely giving it a shot!
Used the app yesterday got all the way to my room and the digital key didn't work on my room door...had to go back to the lobby for physical key.
Use the app to check in and then I would say still go to the lobby and ask for a physical key. Key line was non existent compared to check in line.
Worked perfectly for me. Downloaded app about 30 min out. No problems getting into room. Off to merch line
Glad to hear it because the walk sucked dragging the luggage!

I’d probably rather just pay the money to hit a nearby garage tbh. We’re aiming for NYNY or the Park mgm since there’s no shows there tonight

I am here and it is absolute bullshit. The rail whores win again. Them and their security buddies always look out for their best interest. As long as they get to the front fuck everyone else.

Remember the time in Amsterdam when they snuck in the backdoor with their Pearl Jam security friends and got the rail before all the lesser people were let in? That was awesome!

I can KINDA sympathize with what you’re saying, as I mistakenly thought the venue and their security would enforce the rule they sent out in the email about “NO EARLIER” than 4pm.
The problem is the venue caved and ended up doing exactly what they said they wouldn’t do, handed out numbered wristbands this morning around 7am. That’s the venue making that decision, not the fans who lined up anyway offsite.
This is the biggest shit show in terms of the GA process I’ve been to. No numbers/wristbands turned into well ok yes numbers and wristbands. Then PJ security failed to actually enforce the numbered wristbands the venue handed out. You had mostly a free for all with people REFUSING to assemble in order according to the number on their wristband despite the venue and PJ security both telling them you have to get in order.
The reality is you have a large group of 10c members and fans who don’t give a fuck about rules, order or each other.

You underestimated the pull the front of the GA line has with 10C security and venue security for that matter.
They all watch out for one another. They mostly all do shit sneaking people in or holding the rail for others coming in late. But if you ever did that with them losing a spot or pushed over one person more away from Ed they would freak the fuck out. They stay together in a pack to watch and help each other and if you are on the outside looking in even better for them.
Pearl Jam needs to get rid of camping out for GA. We have adults sleeping on the sidewalk multiple nights so they can have their 5th night on the rail if the tour. Its pathetic. Its embarrassing.
The “front of the line” has no pull with anyone. There’s like one European dude with a gray beard who consistently is at the very front of the line across multiple cities/tours and that’s it from what I’ve seen. There’s not some traveling group who is bullying other fans and coordinating with security.
And it’s Mike’s area people in GA rush to, not Eddie’s.
As far as PJ stopping the camping out they really have no control over that and Eddie regularly praises the people who line up early, so that’s not gonna happen. I do agree tho that we could use a GA lotto. I have nothing against people lining up early sleeping on the sidewalk or whatever they want to do as long as they’re not fucking anyone over in the process but it’s been over 10 years now since GA started in North America so I’m all for switching things up.

Can't wait to walk into my reserved seat at 8:15 and look down about those GA railers.
Good, more space for me right here next to the rail. Btw you can drink and gamble 24/7 in Vegas so we don’t need pics.

Ended up parking at the mgm and got out with no traffic at all. Got there around 5 and didn’t even have to pay the event rate, so it was essentially free

What a great show. Although the acoustics were pretty poor I'm gonna be very eager to hear the bootleg. Stellar opening with Sometimes into Hard to Imagine. Quite a few double digit counting songs like Tremor Christ, Inside Job and very fun song live Breakerfall. I counted 6 new songs before Yellow Ledbetter was done playing but came back to finish with number seven Setting Sun. What a finisher untapping alot of energy still brewing in my body I wouldn't be surprised if this song gets moved up in future setlists. I'm really liking this album and songs translated great live. Only thing I really missed was something from Gigaton. I really think this album isn't getting the love it deserves because of the lack of touring behind it. But hopefully it gets it's recognition eventually in the future. Anyway, still wired. Hope for an even better set list for all the lucky ones going to Night two in Vegas.
I ended up parking at Treasure Island for free. Thanks for the tip.

Cincinnati 06'
Cincinnati 14'
