Surely if you're going for a week it would it would be good nice to have somewhere nice to chill out. Unless you're a hardcore gambler what are you really going to be doing between say 11am & 6pm each day?

If people are planning to be out roaming, drinking & gambling all day every day then i agree then having somewhere nice to stay would be pointless.

Whatever people prefer.[/i]
I agree

I would rather watch the fight, the weigh in and conferences etc, then just hang arpound the pool at the villa and have a barbecue etc.

Im not interested in brasses.

Pretty much where Goz would be coming from. Morning and early afternoon are for recovering from the previous nights 'excesses' and then get on it again.... :TU:

I'm sure theres plenty from where she came from to go around.

Myself, personally will be doing what Billy is dead against above expect I may pay to get jerked off over a Hatton vs. Maywether poster :D
Dirk, you ain't bringing a bird back to our room to bang. You're snoring was bad enough last time it woke up Trinidad in the next room!

Who says you can't do both.

Nothing wrong with brasses, but I'd much rather get hold of some long legged nubile from around the pool at the hard rock and give her a seeing too.

If there's enough people, I'm up for this. Planning on going to Canada and maybe dragging a mate down for a week in Vegas.

Barbies by the pool, hell yes!

Drinking, roaming etc, are night time activities in Vegas, not daytime. I'd be happy to chill by the pool getting my balls massaged by some willing big booty girl I'd snaffled from by the pool at Hard Rock.

James - its not that warm in Vegas in December. Most of the pools (certainly the one at the Hard Rock) are closed.

Shirow probably, as he'll be offering the package once the fight date is officially announced.

Ok he we go. December is cheaper and colder than November so there's pros & cons.

Price for direct flights on Virgin, airport transfer and the 11 bedroom villa as described at the beginning would be around £600 for the week.

Let's get a list of names of who'd be up for it and i can start looking into booking this up.

Jon

Jon, Dirk and I are interested in the Villa. Just depends whether the fight will be held in the Thomas & Mack, Mandalay or MGM.

ok that's 3. The £600 doesn't include the fight ticket either as i don't know what prices people are willing to pay but i will be able to get hold of them.

This may be a silly question, as the venue and fight haven't been confirmed, but any ideas what they will be? Presumably cheaper than we paid for DLH v Mayweather?

I've only heard MGM suggested as the venue but i don't know how definite that is.
GBP have set the Pacman v Barrera tickets at a reasonable $100 - $600 so i'm hoping they won't go overboard for this one either. I don't think they'll go over $850 for ringside.

If it's only $850 then I think Dirk and I will have them as it's half price for the US anyway with exchange rates! Once it's all confirmed I can let you know what we want.

Don't you, I do! I reckon this will be 1000 + ringside myself. Mayweather has just beaten Oscar, and Hatton is his best possible opponent right now. Mayweather is also going to want well paying

Not bothered about ringside for this one, ringside view ain't always that good. Hell, I wouldn't mind watching it closed circuit to be perfectly honest.

I'm interested, depends how much the entire package is going to cost.

I would be up for this, depends on the quality of the seats for the fight though!

I would rather rougth it with the accomadation, than have shit seats 3 miles from the ring. I want to be able to hear Mayweathers ribs cracking.

Any date is fine with me, London better for me to travel from, BUT WANT GREAT SEATS!
