OK, I dont know about anyone else on this forum but im not Rockafella, a trip to Vegas for me would be a big chunk of my money and would take some saving up...
So how could it be done on the cheap, flight, Hotels,
connections ect?? How much money COULD it come to
Or is it just better to bang it on the credit card...?

i went to watch kelley v barrera and stayed at the stratosphere. the amount it will cost you all depends on how you handle your spending money. my trip worked out at roughly £650 for flight hotel transfers and fight ticket....but obviously the amount you can spend there could be astronomical! i had a little gamble whilst there and went to crazy horses and spent roughly £800 in 5 days..........it just depends what you want to do whilst there pocket

When I went to ODH v Mayweather I noticed plenty of cheap hotels to stay off the strip, especially in Old Vegas. Plus it's possible to make your way to a Casino and just eat for several hours in their buffet area for $14 and you're done for the day.
I stayed at the MGM Grand and it's buffet is very good.

Me and a mate are gonna go, he reckons that you can buy a whole package flights,connections, hotel room and fight ticket for about a grand, it is expensive but as said it's a once in a life time thing, for me anyway. I'll definately shop around though, if you buy it all seperate you can probably knock a few hundred of that.
I know hotel rooms, even in the top places are cheap as chips, as they really just want you there to spunk your hard earned cash in the casino, which no doubt i'll do
