And what about Mirage, is that any good?Edit: forget that, it's MGM Grande I want. Just that other hotels describe themselves as being part of MGM?MGM seems quite expensive. Is it quite luxurious?

MGM Grand is a single hotel/casino. MGM owns Mandalay, NYNY, Mirage etc....they are all affiliated. I like MGM's location and they have 5-6 pools and a kick ass lazy river. The casino is nice too and it has 10 plus restaurants. Also NYNY is just across the street. T-Mobile Arena is just behind NYNY. MGM/Vegas will be electric that weekend with GnR and the big fight at MGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No- it's $30/night and at check out you can usually wiggle out of at least 1 or 2 of the charges...they are pretty good about it. Just about everywhere on the strip has these resort fees....it is what it is...MGM is worth it. Edited January 25, 2016 by Estranged1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is still decent for The Strip I suppose. Plus their pool looks wicked : ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I found a pretty good deal at the Luxor. Anyone ever stay there and how close is it to the venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 What kinds of prices have people paid traveling from the UK for flights/hotels?A good tip would be to check flights from Dublin instead. Ryanair from Manchester to Dublin is about £20 and the flights to the US are about half the price as airport taxes are so much less in Ireland. The wife and I are currently looking at around £500 return for both of us as opposed to over £1300 if we fly from the UK direct. So that would be about £250 return for one person.

Dazey Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just booked my flights. Dublin to Vegas for £320 per person. Even when you include another £30 each for return flights from Manchester to Dublin that's still £700 total for the round trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 If I end up going, looks like I'll be staying at the Excalibur or the MGM Grand. Excalibur would cost me about $200 less and is across the street from the venue but the MGM seems to be the place to be that weekend. Decisions....decisions.

DizzyReed63 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I found a pretty good deal at the Luxor. Anyone ever stay there and how close is it to the venue?Yep - got married there in '12!It's a decent casino/hotel, a little dated, but not bad. Very easy to get in and out of, and a step away from the super hustle and bustle of the middle of the strip. Probably a 15 min walk to the venue.It's where I'll be staying Thursday-Saturday. Thursday night was $73, Friday and Saturday were $180-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD62 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Flying in from Detroit on the 7th on Spirit, 2 nights at Bally's and transfers to/from airport to hotel for $600 total price.

Estranged1 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 This may help some of you- everything shown here on the 'Strip' is walkable to the venue. From Treasure Island/Mirage it's a haul, but doable and the monorail willl take ya down to MGM, from there just walk across street. http://www.lasvegastourism.com/map_strip1.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My resort fee says $71.00 + $113.00 per night. I've looked on every website and booking directly. Not sure how you are pulling this cheap rate. For those of you booking the Luxor, if you aren't strapped for cash it's worth an extra $20-40 to stay somewhere else. The hotel is ok, but the elevators are so loud so if you decide to sleep at all, you won't. Never staying there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
