Question for Las Vegas Locals

Yoda · November 27, 2006

Hi all....I posted this in the general Lounge but then figured I would try here too since nobody has responded!!!

Hi Las Vegas people!!! Las Vegans? Las Veganites??

I went to the Nevada thread to post my question but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity there so thought I'd try my luck here.

I'm hoping some of you might have some advice for me. My husband and I are from a small town north of Toronto, Ontario Canada; we are going to go to Vegas in April sometime....we went there 5 yrs ago to get married and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (and, we only spent about $50 in the slot; neither of us are gamblers). Anyways, we want to go back since we had so much fun AND we want to go see Barry Manilow at the Hilton (I adore him and though I've seen him 4 times....the last time was about 22 years ago!). He wasn't playing there 5 yrs ago when we went and because the trip alone tapped us out, we didn't go to any concerts. This time around, we really want to see Barry and perhaps go to another show of some sort.

So, my question to you Vegas locals are.....is there ANY way to get tickets at a cheaper price than what is advertised online and at the hotels and thru travel agents etc....? I mean, do you locals have some sort of secret way to get tickets cheaper? LOL. If so, PLEASE share with me your suggestions......you can pm me if you like.

Also, if you have any suggestions for seeing the "real" Vegas.....I'm open to them and would greatly appreciate it. We love the strip and certainly want to do that again (& stay on the Strip again) but this time around we also want to get off the strip!!! LOL.

Thanks all!!!!

Vegas ROCKS!

I am new to Las Vegas and I only know of one way to get cheaper tickets for the shows. There are booths located throughout the tourist areas on the strip, including (I think) the Fashion Show Mall and near the M&M/Coca Cola museum. This is not a sure thing, since these places just have tickets for that night only.

Here is what I found when I was looking on the web:

If you have a chance, I really recommend trying Cafe BA Ba Reeba at the Fashion Show Mall. They have great tapas and their happy hour is inexpensive.
