    Confirmed for Vegas!!! Booked on Southwest last week just in case ;) Flying in Thurs night leaving Sun morning.  Cannot wait!!! But man the flights and hotels are brutal. Way higher than I exepcted.
    Yeah making Vegas plans were not the easiest.

    If you are flying into Vegas on Spirit or Frontier the day of, BEWARE and have a backup plan. Spirit and Frontier merged and a lot of their flights are being cancelled/changed. If you have points on Southwest book a backup flight just in case the others cancel/change. You can always cancel the Southwest flight and get all your points back if you dont use it.

    As far as rooms, MGM Grand is going to be high now that Pearl Jam has been announced (plus its Preakness Stakes weekend). Try Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, and Excalibur (last choice). Off the strip there are some places on Tropicana Blvd not too far from MGM Grand that will be cheaper and a quick lyft ride away.
    Play Sacramento!

    Thanks! Hit up Kayak and in addition to these found Mandalay Bay for just under $300 a night. Not too far down the strip. Has free cancellation so going to stick with this for now. Gotta get on a flight!

    If you are looking for a reasonably-priced restaurant on the strip, Mon Ami Gabi, located at the Paris Hotel, is a great option.
    Had a great breakfast there last Oct.

    Big fan of Mon Ami Gabi. Had our wedding dinner there, and make a point of stopping by for either a breakfast (great) or a seafood tower on every trip

    Don't forget Downtown/Fremont, might be a little cheaper there.

    I echo your comments about the risk of flying the day of show on either Spirit or Southwest. Booked a last minute flight for the EV LA show last month that was supposed to get me into LA at 3pm only to wake up to a notification that my flight was’t going to be departing until 6pm!! So I frantically searched for another flight and was able to book myself on a SW flight that would get me into LA around the same time only for it to get delayed by several hours. In the end I got to the show in enough time and witnessed an incredible show and hung out with some great people, so all ended well.

    Airbnb still has some excellent deals. I just booked a very nice Airbnb for 90 bucks all in. It's a short car ride away from the MGM. I'm in Vegas often so I'm just coming in Friday for the show and heading home on Saturday, so this is ideal for me.

    EDIT: Ideal under the circumstances, that is. Ideal ideal would be a normal rate at the Tropicana across the street from the MGM, but I want nothing to do with the EDC crowd at that or any hotel.

    that is the hotel I've booked at. I got a decent price. While it's not ideal during EDC weekend, I'm sure the concert will be a great short in/out trip.

    not what I'd like to hear! haha.. were you flying from a major city where Spirit/Southwest do many trips to Vegas? or were the flights once per day?
