JAxlMorrison Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I just got my 2 GA tickets for me and the girlfriend. Two questions:1. Who is up for a pre party and where?2. Where is everyone staying and where can I get a good deal? Even during the weekend, rates in AC are insane. I am zeroed in on the Hilton or maybe the Ramada right now. At least the Ramada offers a free shuttle into town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyp44 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Me and my girlfriend are goin as well just bought my tickets. The hob is in the showboat and rates for the night are about 200 a night. I may stay there or the taj because the casinos connect and the taj is nicer. I'm down for a pre party tho ill be getting there around 6-7pm let me know what goin on bro.P.s. I'm fucking hyped can't wait!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purely Magnetic Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think we met in Wilkes-Barre. My husband and are going to this show. Staying at the Showboat. I called a deal site and got the room for 161.00 for a king bed total including fees. Another forum member mentioned there is a Groupon available for the Taj. We plan to get there around 1 pm that day to scope things out and walk around some. I'm sure my husband will play some tables. We got the Gold VIPs so hopefully we don't have to wait n line all day to be in the front. Still can't believe I waited 19 years the first time to see them and they are coming this close again within 3 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 The thing is, I am planning to stay the weekend. Where did you get such a good rate for the Showboat if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's looking like I may just take the Hilton. I know the location isn't exactly ideal, down the Boardwalk from the show, but it's $264 total for the weekend. That's not a sure thing though, so if anyone sees any decent rates, don't hesitate to let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyp44 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm also stayin the weekend am looking for the best rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 The Hilton rate I listed above is the best I have found, other than the Ramada down there. It's like 75 or 78 a night with a free shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purely Magnetic Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I used easyclicktravel.com and called them for a better rate than they had listed on their site, they knocked another 13 dollars off the internet price when I called. Needed to try to save every dime after dropping 515 bucks on Gold VIPs! Good luck, I was a little taken back by the prices down there as well. I would think they would have the prices a little lower to encourage more people to come gamble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtopicz1 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We're flying in from Tampa and staying Thursday - Sunday. Tix and Airfare are taken care of, just researching hotels. My wife and I are making a mini-vacation out of it, so we're looking for a solid hotel with a decent location.Priceline has a 3.5* hotel in the Name Your Own Price option for $110. This is likely the Sheraton Convention Center and would be a pretty decent deal!All the Harrah's properties seem fairly reasonable with the exception, of course being Saturday night. Just don't know which one to pick!Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 That Sheraton is right where the train station is I believe, which would work for me, cause we are taking the train down from Philly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnRDuff1 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm going, but I plan on being a bum and showing up pretty late and leaving that night/morning. I won't have work, but the lady who bought the awesomest valentine's day present ever does, so she wins. /discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you're making a vacation out of it, check the vacation rental by owner websites. There's condo owners and timeshares in AC so there might be something with an ocean view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely Magnetic Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 See you guys from the front row! What time do you think you are going to get there on Friday? I think we will probably get there around noon but not sure what time we should start getting in the VIP line because I am not sure how many they sell. So many unknowns, so GNR! I love it!

JAxlMorrison Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 This show, per my recent search on Ticketmaster, now appears to be totally sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I just made my reservation at the Hilton down there. $264 combined for Friday and Saturday nights. It'll mean a cab ride to and from the show at the Showboat, but it's right next to the Tropicana which is always a good ass time....LESS THAN THREE WEEKS WHOOOOOOOO!

Black Sabbath Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Fair enough.Honestly, I wish I had just gotten two regular tickets - one for Maryland and one for New Jersey, instead of overly spending $250 for one ticket.Oh well.
