Pac/May will be my first live fight and my first trip to Vegas.

So, to get me exited could people post about their experiences in Vegas in general and more-so at a big fight please?

Cheers in advance

I was lucky enough to get to see hearns vs leonard 2 at caesars palace and was buzzin with excitement,it was a warm evening and sitting in the stand eating the hotdogs and popcorn and drinking the beer that the american fans had bought for me was fantastic and i'll never forget it.I also got to meet both fighters before the fight in their final open training sessions and also met many other legends such as, hagler, sly stallone,duran,michael spinks MR T and so many others, i went to four other big fights there but that was the most memorable for me,vegas is the best place on earth when a big fight is in town.

Went on a stag do and the last night, after a session on the sauce, found a tiger in my bathroom. Hilarity ensued.

Realised the stag had disappeared. Upon leaving the casino we discovered a bed on the roof. Left in police car.

Found an Asian gangster that looked like Ban-Ki Moon in the trunk of the cop car we stole. Went to Mike Tyson's house to return said Tiger. Got KO'd by Mike Tyson after verse of Phill Collins.

More hilarity ensued.

Found stag on roof of casino. Very badly burned. Smelt like almonds.

Went home.

I was really engrossed there for a minute and then I woke up.

Are you the one whose bird slept with the bartender....?

If I could get a girlfriend....

I genuinely have a story involving a midget from Victoria Secrets. But it's not going on the forum.

Best one I can broadcast is watching the owner of an NFL team bang a stripper in a night club (all 80 years odd of him) against the wall outside the loos in Taboo whilst his bouncers surrounded him, telling us to move on.

She looked like Cameron Diaz as well.

If you've not been Vegas before, best get up to speed with the 'tipping' culture.

I hear $30 on your checking in can get a nicer room and a view of the strip ;)

I went to see Hamed-Barrera. After the fight me and my mate went down to ringside where we were stood next to George Foreman and were given copies of the official scorecards.

On the way out of the arena we hung around in the lobby for a while where we met Vince Phillips, Kevin Kelley, the Klitschkos and had a chat with Wayne McCullough and Chuck Bodak (who was in Barrera's corner). We then went into a restaurant where Barrera was celebrating his win.

The whole thing was an incredible experience and one I'd like to have again one day. You'll have a great time out there.

The place is so surreal!!!!

Fantastic is another word.

First time I went was with Rhino for the Williams/Klitschko fight - its a long story what we got up to in those few days - it started with a bet with Ant Evans on the plane that we would get a closer seat than him - he scoffed at us stating his press pass was already booked - myself and Rhino blagged our way into the press room for the weigh in and then got promoters passes for the fight - we also blagged our way to better flights home and all of that was just a tadge of what we got up to.

Then went to work for Fight Academy for Hatton/Urango - did 3 rounds with Dennis Hobson in the Top Rank gym with quite a few camermen watching and filming - highly embarassing - fantastic trip all round.

Then worked on the Hatton/Castillo fight - again a truly amazing experience to work on a world title show in Vegas it is what boxing fans dreams are made of - I made sure after that fight I walked on the sunday up and down "the strip" taking everything in as I had a feeling it would be a long time before I came back.

Anyone who visits Vegas is a lucky person - I would recommend the place to anyone. It costs a lot of money - do not go unless you are prepared to really go for it - I would always say go for at least 5 days - then you get to see the sights and the casinos as well as take in the "Big Fight" experience.
