Las Vegas, November

[irishjive]

Hello all,

Anyone going to the L.V. shows? I've never been to Vegas and am looking for a decent hotel .. I'd love to stay at the MGM, they have these rooms .. SKYLOFTS .. $800-$100 per night .. unfortuantly they aren't available Any tips??

You're not being ignored, you're just in the wrong place!

and here...http://forum.interference.com/t123591.html

There are many of us getting rooms; expedia and the other travel sites have good rates for that time; because the Web-sites require 100% payment, I recommend booking through the hotel
in case there are any changes to your plans..good luck.

Damien Marley to open for many dates in end of Oct and early November, including the LA/Vegas shows. Yay! No Kanye West!

 

[resoody2]

Damien Marley??? I want someone better to open these shows!

 

[Carek1230]

Yeah I know. I just don't understand it. Who is responsible for choosing or even for suggesting the opening acts?

If you haven't already, check out the link for the Interference Vegas Vertigo party Nov. 3rd. Proceeds are going to a great cause.

Bono and the Edge actually have a big say in that........

 

[Carek1230]

We get feckin Damien Marley. Other cities get The Killers, Keane etc.
Europe gets Interpol and a shit load of other cool bands.

It was bad enough listening tae PJ Hairy & No Doubt on the Elevation tour.

Just remember about the monorail....it is slow sometimes, can wait at a station for a while if you just miss one...and it doesn't run past 2 for those who plan to party late!!!
Just a word of caution about "counting on it"...
Good luck!!

That's no different than waiting for some of the elevator systems in many of the hotels!

 

[Carek1230]

Hey just a reminder to all those who are heading to Vegas...to those who are interested in going to the party at McMullans Pub after the U2 shows on Friday and Saturday night, where the Joshua Tree band, LA's premium U2 tribute band, will be hitting the stage.....if you haven't yet RSVP'd and/or paid for the party, please do so ASAP! The place is filling up! Don't be left out in the cold!
