Yeah RiRa in the mandalay bay is the best of the Irish bars that I know of, 9 fine Irishmen (cringe) is a decent bar but a bit small and don't know do they have many TVs in there

RiRa will be ticketed so you'd wanna get sorted early

I know a waitress who works there, if you want I can ping her on WhatsApp and get some details?

Sure thing. Pinged her now - will let you know

Fly out 4 weeks today(3rd) Can't wait to get back to Vegas. Gonna chill by the pool more this time instead of the poker tables, prob spend a few quid in the fight shop in the shopping area of PH.

Need to start looking up planning my days out to get maximum out of the trip.

Are the pools open in October? I know a lot of places close the pools for a few months.

dulux99 · 05-09-2018 1:08pm

To each their own but the pools never appealed to me. Vegas is such a mad place I feel like the odd time I've gone down there I feel like I'm wasting my trip

Naked Lepper · 05-09-2018 1:11pm

anyone reckon UFC 230 tickets in MSG in November will also be like golddust?
would like to get one of the cheaper ones if poss

doubt it would sell out like the way the McGregor ones do? says tkts on sale on 21 sept, don't wanna pay 85 usd per person to get access to pre sale tho! rip off

Mr. Manager · 05-09-2018 1:53pm

Meant to say, if anyone is up for a Boards beers over there, let me know. I'll be there from 2nd - 12th. Outside of the UFC and playing a bit of poker and top golf I'll be twiddling my thumbs

JoeyJJ · 05-09-2018 4:01pm

Yeah pools open, I will probably only spend time there to rest tbh. Drink to small hours, sleep 3/4 hours, play early morning poker, hit pool for a kip for a couple of hours rinse and repeat with evening activities such as a show or 2 fight etc.

flash seats is biggest pile of sh1te iv ever saw

Anyone ever use UFC vip experience for an event? https://ufcvipexperience.com/ticket-packages?utm_source=hs_automation&utm_medium=email&utm_content=63468781&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-98s7LqQXSRh2B0jyODVXANZY2qFBPaO8XIIAPXoikVpHGfvScUTvepLgE0wMbsW9nwnk1QjjmQOLjX7HanMROvevIOkA&_hsmi=63468781

Would be interested to know if its worth the money.

sc86 · 05-09-2018 11:16pm

is there copys of the tickets getting posted out or do we have to rely on this flash seats rubbish?

The Ayatolla · 06-09-2018 9:06am

Flash Seats rubbish.

I imagine if you have any major issues, you can collect at the box office in the lead up to it. Bring the original payment method and ID.

This is what I got back "Are you referring to the McGregor fight on Oct 6th? If so, we are showing it. It’s $40 at the door. If you even remotely want a chance at a table, I’d show up at 2:30pm Vegas time bc there will be a line forming. If I am physically there at that time I can do my best to help you but if not, I wouldn’t."

It's like an app from 2010. It actually gives me anxiety to know my tickets that are worth a fortune are housed in this piece of sh*t app

JoeyJJ · 06-09-2018 10:57am

Yeah its mental, the wife is defo using her ticket cause I don't fancy trying to sell it to a stranger if she isn't too bothered.

I used the AXS app instead. Same thing in there, QR code refreshes and your tickets are stored.

Tuesday evening arrive and have a few drinks
Wednesday head downtown, pool drink drink
Thursday Night Football should be good. Searching for best place with drink specials
then weigh ins Friday about3pm? Not as exciting since we’ll all know that they’ve made or not made weight by then.
Fight day Saturday probably head in for prelims.
Sunday premier league football from about 7am then NFL games till about 7/8pm
Monday recover
Tuesday fly out

They actually do rehydration drips (IV Therapy) in some of the hotel shopping areas.

Wow im sure we will see some scenes posted from that on joe.ie. not for me though.

EagererBeaver · 08-09-2018 10:43am

Jesus Christ, the Wolfe Tones playing beside a pool in Vegas, or a quarter of them anyway. That'd be pretty surreal. Terrible, but surreal.

What's the over/under on how many times Mark McCabe can play Maniac 2000.

JoeyJJ · 08-09-2018 12:11pm

I wonder are the wolf tones going for entrace music for conor?
