I’m hopeful that the NFL will avoid scheduling this game the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas. If they avoid those two weeks I’m going to pull the trigger on a long weekend in Vegas with the wife. I know many of you have been to the new stadium. How about some helpful tips and tricks for a visit. When to buy tickets? Where to stay? What time to arrive at the stadium? Chiefs friendly establishments? Those are questions I’d love to garner some feedback on. [Reply]
Cost is not really a determining factor. If we go the casino hotel route, I’d probably stay on the strip and most likely at Ceasar’s. I think we’d prefer a larger rental with a kitchen if we can find one convenient. Now I do like gambling in the cheaper casinos. I’m all about a Fremont street, Circus Circus, Slots of Fun, etc where I can play cheaper craps tables. [Reply]

They tore down the place I won more than anywhere.

your breakfast sandwiches were huge and four dollars, your slots paid like they were grateful you showed up, and your Elvis impersonator was so coked up he forgot the words to Elvis songs and for me in my 20s, it was heaven [Reply]

Las Vegas is very friendly towards other fans in the sense it's safe. It's no where near as rough as Oakland. There are a few places on the strip that seem to always have opposing fan get togethers. Walk the strip Saturday night and you'll find them.
Stadium opens 2 hours before the game and 3 hours for premium tickets.
Cheap cost I would recommend staying at the Luxor. You want to splurge the Venetian is very classy.
Tickets prices can sway. Lucky for you the Chiefs are winners which is a draw for NFL fans. Unluckily for your pocket book this will cost you more. I sell my tickets on NFL ticket exchange/ticket master. [Reply]
Tickets are pricey. I went last year and stayed downtown to save some bucks. Ubered to the Mandelay for breakfast then walked across the bridge for the game. After the game is chaos. We walked for an hour and had dinner before you could Uber out of the area. The traffic was still affected by that f1 race though. Hopefully it’s better this year. [Reply]

A lot of the other stuff has been covered here but I'll echo that it's a great stadium. I flew in and out same day for the game last November and that was really easy. And then was back for the Super Bowl which was a completely different experience as they basically took over the entire parking lots around the stadium for official tailgates, security, etc.
But yeah, really easy to get to from the strip via the monorail to the Mandalay Bay and then walking from there.
I don't care for Vegas much at all, but it's a pretty unique Chiefs experience and the polar opposite of the Oakland Coliseum. [Reply]
After confirming 100% refund cancellation policy of the hotel of your choice, book every weekend of the football season right now before they announce games. When the schedule comes out, cancel all but the weekend you want to go. It worked for a buddy of mine last year and hes certain he saved a boat load of money.
My guess is the schedule comes out next Thursday btw. It's typically been the Thursday in the second week of May or a couple weeks after the draft. [Reply]

You have shows, golf, Hoover Dam, great restaurants, cheap buffets, Chinatown, museums, gambling, old school area, new ritzy stuff, cigar shops, shopping, sports books, comedy shows, Cirque de Soleil, glitzy hotels, cheap hotels, top golf, indoor skydiving, music shows like U2
I'll be there from this Sunday until Thursday for a trade show. Staying at Trump International.
The list is long......focus on things you never get a chance to do.
Was just there this last weekend with my son. Go to SpeedVegas and drive a Ferrari. Fantastic experience. Maybe I liked it a bit more because my best lap was faster than his but it was a great time. [Reply]
