Oct 23- What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

[Carek1230]

Looks like an official Press Release to me. Why oh WHY do they do things like this? Sheesh....less than a week to beg borrow or steal the money to pay for tickets before PreSale?!!!!

 

[RedRocksU2]

Yeah WHO WROTE THAT.

Probably the guy that said; "I know people"....?

 

[Outsider]

you're cracking me up! love it!

 

[Miringeltje]

Looks pretty official to me - here is the article on Live Nations official press release site (on Live Nation letterhead and everything):

Live Nation | Investor Site - 2009 Press Releases

Great find!
I wonder when it will be up on u2.com

And damn it, if the general sale is really going to start on Saturday.
Out of all the days of the week, it just has to be on the one morning that I don't have internet access.
That sucks!
Although I think chances are high GA for this one will sell out during the pre-sale.

 

[Outsider]

the new logo looks great on u2.com!! i hope the announcement is tomorrow!!

 

[Thora]

Still nothing yet.

:breathingdeeply:

Wait a minute... we have a new smiley?!

Niiiice! Very appropriate.

 

[Imarocker]

There's nothing on U2.com, no emails from them & nothing in TM as of now I don't see any show in vegas

 

[daygloeyes2]

So just for kicks, I'm pricing out a trip to Vegas.

On Expedia.com, total trip for 2 people, ncluding non-stop flight and room at Circus Circus-$953.28.

Where are you flying in from?

Where are you flying in from?

Boston. I'm just thinking about it now. Not booking yet.

I'd be going with my mom. I know she wants to stay in a nice hotel and she's not a fan of 1-stop flights. Round-trip all the way for her.

Circus Circus

nice hotel

 

[daygloeyes2]

<------------knows nothing about Vegas.

try the excalibur if you want to stay on the strip. They usually have great deals and its right next to the super expensive ones. the rooms are renovated and nice! Expedia is good but vegas.com is MUCH better for finding cheap rooms

 

[beegee]

Thank you, Sicy, lol.

I was going to say that but I was afraid to

Circus Circus is horrible.

I'd rather someone tell me that now rather than after I book the trip(if I do).

I'm looking on vegas.com now, outsider.

 

[beegee]

dayglo, I just pulled up $159 non-stop on Jet Blue from Boston to Vegas on Oct 22nd.

$149 returning.

Flight 777 - it's a SIGN!

 

[Outsider]

im sure you'll find something that appeals to you and fits your budget. This website has helped me out a LOT in the past

 

[corianderstem]

Vegas.com, hmm? Will check that out.

I saw that super cheap flight + hotel deal for Circus Circus and then thought "....mmmmm ..... no."



It's pretty far down on the end of the Strip, too.

 

[Outsider]

select the search by price...it'll weed out the REALLY expensive rooms and you'll see the decent priced ones that have good three star ratings as well

 

[lauramullen]

I really want to do Vegas, but since I'm going to Dublin I can't

 

[daygloeyes2]

Thank you everyone for the tips!

Also looking to see if leaving from Providence would save me money.

 

[mtnfox]

Circus Circus is horrible.

As a Vegas regular I concur. Avoid Circus Circus.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I agree with the rest; Circus Circus is a no no.

Bally's would be a nice choice.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Ok, it's official!

Tickets for the October 23rd performance at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV go on sale Saturday, April 18th.

Booking your airfare/hotel

If I may add my 2 cents about booking hotel/airfare to Vegas....

As a person who has been to Vegas about 10 times (once for PopMart!) and learned the hard way once or twice, I would like to offer some suggestions to those who are looking to book a trip out there.

a. Don't book a package deal, it will end up costing you less if you book your airfare and hotel separate. If you book your hotel separate, you can track the prices, and call them if you find something cheaper and have them adjust it. You can't do that if you book a package deal through places like Expedia.

b. Sign up to be on the mailing lists for hotels you are interested in staying at. They will send you email specials. I booked a room at Excalibur for wed/thur/fri, checking out on Saturday for a total of $157. If you go with 2 or more people, that can be split up and will be dirt cheap.

c. Continuously look at hotels prices even after you book it. As I mentioned above, if the price goes down and you booked direct through the hotel, you can call them and have them adjust the price for you. I've done this several times and saved a lot of $$

I'm hoping to get tickets to Sam Boyd as well. I hope to be able to meet some of you while out there

[daygloeyes2]

Stratopshere and Sahara hotels? Opinons?

 

[Sicy]

Ok lmao then why arent they on the tour page yet? U2.com fail.

So this may have already been discussed, but looks like the Live Nation press release says Vegas tickets for on sale Saturday, April 18th, not this Saturday the 11th. So, I guess presales would be next week? Sorry if I'm late to the party....at least that's a few more days to drum up some $$$$
