Can someone get me a link to a package, flights, hotel, tickets if there are any left?
and also how easy is once i get ooff the airport the otherside? will my coach be waiting there to take me to the hotel?

thanks.

In vegas the airport is right next to the strip - by virtue of the city being built in the desert.

less then $20 in a cab will get you to your hotel.

I think cityboxer and similar companies due packages (check ads in Boxing Monthly etc) but put the flight, hotel and ticket together yourself for better value for money - its not difficult.

If you want someone else to do the planning, check out this link:

If you are going on your own just hang out at the hotel where the fight is happening and its bound to be full of Brits showing the yanks how to party.. Lets git it on!

ive sent you a pm

I wouldnt have thought getting lost would be a problem but I dunno if I would want to be padding round vegas on my tod as a, presumably naive, 18 yr old..

Depends mate - if you stay away from the hookers and the dealers you will be sweet - depends what you are looking for in Sin City..

If you are just going for the boxing and sight seeing you will be absolutley fine. ..Maybe I just shouldnt judge others by my own, admittedly very low, standards..

haha, yea i wouldn't be out partying put it that way, but i had a look at that cityboxing thing an i'll phone up an book it off there tomorrow.. not dodgey at all are they?

I think Shirow, who posts on here, has something to do with cityboxer.

I couldnt comment on what they are like to be honest but they areny fly by night from what I can tell.

Good luck with your trip - look forward to hearing how you get on!

I'm honest as the day is long me.

Yep, i run Cityboxer, actually i'm off to Tenerife tomorrow for the weekend so you may not catch me on the phone. Sending an email may be the way to go.

Cheers

Whats better front upper tier, or a 'class c' ticket? (goes up to class e)

Well HairyBoxe24 - I'll be checking out the the ticket situation later on and will let ou know. I'll let you know where we are staying, If your feeling a bit on your own if you like you can hook up with us

BTW - I should imagine its 21 years old to drink

Best thing to do is ring the Thomas and Mack Centre on 001-866-388-3267, around 18:45 to coincide with the box office opening times, I did this for a friend as he is incapable of doing anything himself. Got through quickly, the tickets are for collection, so you can collect anytime while in Vegas.

As someone who has been to Vegas before, I reccomend that you ring the hotels direct, there are always rooms avaialble, when compared doing this through an agent, with tickets , flights, accomodation, doing it yourself proved much cheaper.

I really hoped to have been going, but have bought a house this year and therefore money is going out faster than its coming in.

the bars/casinos are really strict about the 21 thing. Unless you have a god fake ID (not that I am advocating that) or don't mind sticking on the softies, I'd wait 3 years...

Do you mean i have to pick up the fight tickets when i'm in Vegas? Won't they just post them to me?

thanks for the help/advice everyone.

Nice to see a fellow Bournemouth cronie on here. Enjoy Vegas, Shirov honest and arrange lots of fellow posters to go to sin city.

Yup, you have to pick them up , take some ID and the credit card that you buy the tickets with, thats the policy of the arena if you are an overseas ticket buyer, they do not post overseas. I think its better as at least the tickets are in one place and therefore you are less likley to lose them, if they get across the atlantic.

THe best seats in the house are the front row of the first tier which are priced at $400. When i went to Pacquiaco v Morales II i got seats which were only about 10 rows further back for $200.

By the way i get the tickets sent to me by the promoter so you can have them in your hand before you leave.

Like Loynsey said there's not much you can do there if you're under 21. You won't be allowed into any casinos or anyway that alcohol is sold. There is other stuff to do but it's all PG rated.

By the way Real Deal if you want the same sort of deal for this fight as we talked about for the De La Hoya one let me know before i run out of flights.
