Seriously... if you're that close to the decision and if you've never been- jump on Vegas.
You won't regret it. Jimmy + Vegas is truly an awesome experience. You will become a believer- I promise.
Here's our formula anyway...

a) Arrive Thursday- stay at the Flamingo( where Margaritaville is located) .. get your bearings on the Strip. Rest up- You'll need it. Parrot Heads will begin to show their colors..

b)Friday-Pool time at the Flamingo pool in the AM. Margaritaville at noon.
Everyone is tuning up for Last Man Standing Party at Tommy Rockers later that night- a LVPHC event not to be missed. Get there by about 6:30- goes til whenever...

c) Saturday- Margaritaville Alley Party (next to Flamingo) starts at noon- it's a hoot. Some people stay here til showtime others spend 3-4 hrs here then catch the monorail up to the MGM Grand Pool Party for 2-3 hrs. then "herd" in to the Arena. These parties are a lot of fun- they obviously cost more than tailgating. But we go every year and have never felt slighted- and Vegas Parrot Heads are a great bunch to party with! .
And it goes without saying that Jimmy always takes the roof off the place.

d) Sunday-Monday..enjoy Vegas, shows, casinos, pool time, etc. There's so much to do- you'll keep coming back year after year.

Hope you choose Vegas and hope to see you there! We'll buy you a drink at Margaritaville.

PHins uP!

IT'S VEEEEGASS BAAAABBBBYY!!!

Trader - a few questions for you. What and where is Tommy Rockers? Do I need advance tickets or anything?
Also, what is the MGM pool party? I havent heard about this. Is it an actual pool party?
This will be mine and hubby's first show in Vegas. We are still trying to figure everything out! Thanks!

Hello Marijoy-

One thing you'll find is that if you "stay tuned" to these Vegas threads you'll be offered up more info than you'll ever be able to use in several lifetimes!
So this information is not the end all on this subject -trust me!

Regarding Tommy Rockers/Last Man Standing Party: Tommy Rockers is the name of the night club where the major Friday night pre-party function is held. It's also the name of the Buffett tribute band that plays there as well. The Las Vegas Parrot Head Club sponsors this great event. Usually held outside in their parking lot (that is if a desert wind storm isn't whipping through-LOL) with a great entertainment line-up. Last April Mac McAnally showed up and put on a great show! It's off the Strip on the other side of the freeway- five minutes by cab from the Flamingo or any of the centrally located hotels. More info re: tickets and the like will follow as we get closer via Dean Siu- our Vegas "guy".

Regarding the MGM Pool Pre-Party: It used to be in the old MGM Theme Park- they've since taken that down and are putting in condos. They needed a new spot and so they decided on the pool area. It was a blast last year and I can only assume that they'll do it again this year. The reason a lot of people like it is because it's right next to the arena and they can party right up until showtime and then just herd in
with the other 18,000 or so crazies. The MGM is famous for waiting til the VERY last minute to finalize the party. It drives everyone nuts- but it always seems to go off and a good time is had by all.
And if you're asking if people are actually allowed in the pool- I would say no- at least not in great numbers. There's always a Buffett tribute band playing ( A1A, the Cheeseburgers, or someone like that) drinks, food, interactives, etc.

I think you'll find a lot of people split their time between the M'ville Alley party and the MGM party- thanks to the monorail...which actually is working quite well lately - at least it was last April.

Hope your first trip to Vegas is a hoot and we'll see you there!
