Is it bus in vegas when UFC is on?
Just checked UFC website and the boxing is scheduled for 2th Aug - I will be staying at the Mandalay Bay on that date and was wondering if it is likely to be held here? and if so will it be too busy?

Hi,
We've just got back- we were there over Memorial weekend with a UFC world championship fight there on the Saturday night. The fight was at the MGM Garden Arena (don't know if this is where they have all the fights?) We stayed at the MGM Signature. I do know (because we were delayed, thanks to US Airways), all their flights into Vegas were over booked on the Wed and Thurs, but don't know if this was because of UFC or the Memorial holiday. Haven't been to Vegas before so sorry, but I don't know how to compare for how busy, however ALL the shows (including cirque) were discounted - probably not what UFC fans are into Anne

Melanie - there is a UFC in Mandalay Bay on 11th July, but the only one I can see in the first week of August is the 8th, but that's in Philadelphia?

When we were in Las Vegas the National Rodeo Finals were on, there was a major boxing event at the Manadalay Bay and the MTV/Mobos or some other huge music awards were on at the MGM all at the same time... Don't think there is anywhere in the world better equipped to handle these things, didn't feel busy at all... and it was fab watching all the huge limos going up and down the strip

Aha!
It will make MB busier - but not to the extent of a big boxing match. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Laura - Were the swimming pools more crowded?
I was thinking of doing 4 nights at MGM and 3 nights at Mandalay Bay - Was only booking Mandalay Bay for thier pool! But I am thinking now its probably not gonna be worth paying the extra money to stay there if thier facilities are packed with people to see the boxing! |
