In light of the impressive audience participation events in Poland and Italy last month, I thought I might try to organize a similar kind of happening at the Las Vegas shows this November.
The idea I have will require at least 30 volunteers who would be willing to spend about $10 each to make this thing work. The more volunteers, the better, of course. Preferably, all volunteers will need GA Floor tickets, but it's not necessary. Hardly any work will be needed to get this off the ground, but we will need enthusiasm and an ability to "sell".
This idea might be a total flop, especially in Vegas, where concert crowds tend to be very lame, but if it doesn't work there, perhaps the idea will catch on and work at the Oakland shows or the Portland show.
To get an estimate of how many of us are actually going to Las Vegas, and to help others who are thinking about going there with hotel accommodations, please post the following:
Are you going to one or both shows?
Do you have tickets, yet? Where are they?
When will you arrive in Las Vegas?
Where will you stay and how much per night?
Once we have a sizable list of hardcore U2 fans, I'll get in touch with everyone to begin working on this plan. I'll need a lot of input and opinions on it, too (which will cause a lot of healthy debate) so hopefully everyone can contribute something useful and make the Las Vegas shows legendary and the most sought-after downloads of the entire Vertigo Tour.
Anyone planning on taping these shows, either audio or video, will need a heads-up on our plan, too, since it will alter their normal taping patterns.
I'll go first:
Going to both shows, no ticket yet for Friday (trying to get a GA), one ticket for Saturday - Section L14, twelve rows from Adam
Arriving LV Wednesday night, staying at the Motel 6 across the street from the MGM Grand for $79 a night.
For reference, here's a seating chart of the MGM Grand Garden Arena:

If we can get this plan to work, the boys will be completely blown away by us, and maybe reward us with a rendition of 'Crumbs' or "Trip Through Your Wires".
Cheers, Nick
