A new Visiting Las Vegas thread.

[BattleBorn]

Coming to Vegas for the Rangers game.

Anyone know of a good indoor pool in Vegas? Wife's favorite thing in Vegas is laying by the pool but we've never came when it was cold before.

Thanks guys.

I don't think there's any indoor pools on the Strip unless you're in to staying at a Holiday Inn or Embassy Suites off-Strip, which is just like a Holiday Inn or Embassy Suites in any other city/not as exciting.

If you are going to spend any amount of time in town, get the M Life credit card and get free parking with it.

Good tip for all locals. Free and no annual fees. Free parking at all MGM properties. Aria doesn't charge for parking on game days.

That's surprising but seems to match my not finding anything via google.

Appreciate the help!

Hey folks,

Coyotes fans coming peace. Hope this is the right thread for this.

Anyway, I'll be in Vegas in February so I'm wondering what's the best route to get tickets? A certain site? From the team themselves? Another source?

The game would be vs. the Habs, so I anticipate the cost will be a little more than any old opponent. Upper or lower bowl doesn't really matter, assuming every seat in the house is a good one. Believe I would be looking for 3 tickets as well, so I realize that also likely increases the cost given the odd number.

Any help is appreciated.

Also check out StubHub. Their fees are pretty steep, but I've found selection to be good.

How is the food at T-Mobile? Anything worth eating? Should we just plan on eating elsewhere beforehand? Thanks.

All the food is pretty good unless you're at the standard concessions upstairs, I think they're called Neon Eats.

Shake Shack is Shake Shack and is reasonably priced, the sausages downstairs are good, the sandwich at the carvery is good. Everything's pretty good for the most part except those two upstairs spots. They usually have the longest lines, too.

Actually, let me start working on the new thread right now. I'd spaced it a little over Christmas.

There are a ton of off-Strip places we would love to go to (Herbs and Rye, Yui Sushi, Echo and Rig) but without a car, getting to any of these places is a serious pain. I guess it would be $50 bucks round trip for an Uber but when you’re already on the Strip where basically every hotel has 4 or 5 good restaurants, why bother leaving? And I think most people coming in to see a game from out of town are in a similar position where we’re staying a few blocks from T-Mobile and in the two/three days we’re in town between gambling, drinking, and eating there’s not much time to explore. That’s the beauty of Vegas.

Yui is life changing. The wagyu steak seasoned between 2 bricks of Himalayan salt is the best in Vegas.

And Pink's Hot Dogs. That is my 1INT staple.

Pink's is good. But for whatever reason they don't take cash...plastic only.

I've sat upper deck for two games, once just inside blue line and once behind the goal, and I thought they were fine. I like having that kinda overhead view of the whole ice. Disclaimer: I'm just happy to be in the building!

As far as getting the tix, I think you're gonna have to get them ahead of time. Walk up, as in going to the box office pregame? Don't think you're gonna get tix that way...every game so far this season has been sold out, SRO. Not even sure you can get tix from the box, as it's all done with the FlashSeats appy. If you mean scalpers, again since all the tix are electronic don't know how that would work. I've not seen anyone hawking tix pregame.

Maybe I'm misreading your question. Apologies if so.

Some of the season ticket holders here may have better info.

The way the tickets are distributed its not so easy for season ticket holders to sell anywhere other than Stubhub. A few have tried to get around the fees and sell on Craigslist and do direct transfers, but other than that or the box office for the games where there are still some seats left your choices are limited. I'd just go to Stubhub and look at the tickets there as the seat views on there are pretty much accurate. You might find a few people selling out in front, but since paper tickets are not common its nothing like what you'd find at most arenas. Those people selling are often just selling one or two from people who couldn't make it so getting four probably would be tough.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Thanks all for the help ,,,,

See ya in a month !!!

 

[JRinNYC]

Man, I'm really annoyed that the 3d seating charts show the VGK center ice logo facing the wrong way. When I visit arenas I like to sit with the center ice logo facing me (same view as you get on TV). I bought my tickets based on the 3d seating chart that shows the VGK center ice logo facing section 5 and 6. I bought tickets in section 6. To my surprise, the center ice logo is facing sections 16 and 15!! This is 3d chart from the VGK site Vegas Golden Knights - T-Mobile Arena 3D

How is that even legal?

A lot of us have our season tix in the upper level. The view of the ice is terrific, but I will say some of the extreme upper rows are quite far from the ice. The steps on upper level are very steep, so the action can seem distant.

There always seems to be 8 seats together for sale in my section on StubHub. 225 Row F. Ive seen them for at least 10 games. I'm assuming that the team didn't make them available before the season started & they are listing them at a nice mark up.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Exactly! I demand a blue-ribbon panel investigation!

(Maybe I look like a counterfeiter?)

Just took my cash and snacked elsewhere that game.

Headed out on Saturday - staying on the strip. Sitting in Sect 1 for the game.

Interested to see where the Blue Jackets end up staying, hopefully away from distractions

It seems like most of the teams are staying at the Mandarin Oriental, there's a few exceptions like the Hawks at the Bellagio and the Leafs out in Summerlin at the Red Rock, but teams seem to dig the Mandarin. There's no casino, but it's in the middle of everything.

I'm kind of surprised more teams aren't staying at the Trump. I guess there's other reasons for that, though.

Beat reporter has said CBJ are also arriving Saturday so I have a feeling no matter where they end up staying they'll be out and about - LOL

3 1/2 days in Vegas before the game? Good luck! Vegas Flu in full effect.

AIUI, Sharks stayed at the Four Seasons (next to Mandalay Bay).
