    For those of you familiar with the MGM venue, what's the easiest, most affordable approach to parking? We'll be heading up from Phoenix and crashing outside of town Saturday night before heading home Sunday morning. 
    MGM has a big parking lot and charges $18 for Mondays through Thursdays, and $23 for Fridays through Sundays (for up to 24 hours).  The tropicana across the street does not charge for parking but I believe the casino is planning to close in March (to make room for the new MLB stadium).  
    The OYO/Hooters is probably the closest hotel to the arena. Well, the closest hotel that I wouldn't describe as "a place I wouldn't be shocked where a dead body is discovered and the police have no clues."
    Wait, you wouldn't describe the OYO that way?

    On the other hand (no pun intended), they have $1 blackjack at OYO, so I'll overlook a dead body.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    One of the reasons I liked staying at the Trop. I got great rates, comp'd fees, and free parking. Yes, it's shown it's age since re-opening after the pandemic - which doesn't surprise me that it's being shuttered. The steakhouse (now Tuscan Grill) was a very good spot for a meal - especially if you got the 50% entree coupon from the Discount Show tickets booth.

    I swore I'd never go in, in 2009 before the renovation but a friends uncle won a chunk of cash and treated us all to buffet there (before the renovation turned it into a spa) - the food was actually decent. It became the only spot I'd stay from after the renovation (except for one year that they sold out on my birthday - had some comp'd rooms from Vdara, so I stayed there instead). Will be missed.

    Trying to figure out hotels for Vegas, in close-ish proximity. Trying to avoid a bunch of EDC-goers - it'll be vacation for me - not just concerts, so I'm trying to relax/sleep. Maybe I should check my MGM comps.

    Big Trop fan here. I had an annual event there every year from 2013 to 2019 and have a lot of good memories. It was very nice after the remodel. Is it the Bellagio? No, but it's also much more affordable. As you note, after the pandemic, a lot of the amenities never reopened, but the rooms were still perfectly nice and the pool was clean and not too crowded. I have made a few mini-vacations there (driving up from L.A.) since the pandemic and I am going to make one last visit there in March before the wrecking ball.

    I've done two weeklong stays (one in 2022 and one in 2023) - I am unable to make it work before they close - but I enjoyed my stay last year. I'll never forget the day I walked up to check in - two rooms, one for me and one for a buddy. Unbeknownst to us, we each were booked a suite for regular price, no resort fees. I'll miss it - especially the people that I've met. Heck, before they had Robert Irvines, they had a huge sportsbook there - and I was chatting with one of their Guest Managers while they were taking photos (kind of crowd filler in the background). Will always remember it fondly. Glad others recognize the Trop for what it is - and not focus on what it should be.

    Thanks @Spunkie - this seems like a real possibility for us!

    Which is to say those 2 SEA dates probably now end up being split up. 1 show being at the Gorge just before Missoula. In which case I would HAVE to pivot from Vancouver and hit up the Gorge/Missoula prior to Indy & Chicago.
    Was there any post-1/16 intel dropped that I missed? Thanks.
    @enddem - nothing concrete that I'm aware of.

    Not to break-up the food themed song titles but quick lottery strategy question. I’m hoping to make both MSG shows but I’ll be solo (wife’s work schedule won’t allow). Should I only put in for 1 per night? Are the odds better for a single or a pair? 
    I believe your odds remain the same for a single or a pair. In your case I would put in for a pair for each night if you only score 1 of the 2 nights at least you have a spare to try to trade with someone for the other night. Good luck MSG is always in high demand
    I was thinking about putting in for a pair for this very reason.  Would you be able to transfer the tickets to each other without having to time releasing them to Ticketmaster, leaving the possibility of someone else getting the tickets?

    It seems like I went to a sporting event one time and was able to transfer the ticket to the person that went with me. That way they could have the ticket on their phone and could get up and come back without having to take my phone.

    Not that I saw. The most recent info seemed to suggest that there will be 2 shows at Climate Pledge, 28th and 30th of May. Apparently, there was a club/theatre Seattle show possibility earlier in May around the Vancouver dates. As far as I can tell the Gorge idea is wish-casting, but who knows.
    Thanks. Didn't think I had seen anything either post-1/16 update. I'm in a bind: move from the other side of Washington to SoCal in July. So, I can't see the LA shows. And then I wouldn't be able to see a theoretical Gorge show in August. So May 28/30 holding firm is pretty important for me!

    Click through and highlight the text. It's a link to pre-save the album to Spotify or Apple Music. And on another thread, someone decoded the html (I think?) to show that something (a song? the album?) will be available on one of those platforms at 12:05am Pacific Time on Tuesday the 13th.
