We are looking forward to attending the renown pre-concert festivities and would like any tips or advice related to the concert on the 25th. Is there a specific area that the pre-concert party will be held? We are assuming the MGM parking lot? Any other advice we should know about? Thanks and see you all there!
The second show in Vegas last year was our first Buffett concert.
The street party at M'Ville was a hoot. I had to go back to the hotel for a little nap before the big show. Maybe 1 too many frozen concoctions..
See ya there..
I plan on being fully rested in order to hit it hard on saturday... no rest for me until the sun comes up on Sunday.... at least, thats the plan! Once a pirate hits 40, its not as easy to "rape and pillage" like he used to.... my wife, tho, will probably be leading the charge....
Not sure if anyone has discussed pre-show dinning options or not, but we have been going to Diego at the MGM before the show for the last few years and it's always pretty good. And it is right on the way to the "Arena" so it is a great place to ParrotHead watch. It's not cheap, but Mexican food does make a great base.
I finally signed up for Buffettnews. I have been a huge fan of the site for years! Not to mention Buffett. This will be our 5 time in Vegas seeing him but first time as husband and wife. We are so excited and the time will not go fast enough till we are there. Hope to meet some of you and looking forward to a great time.

It can't be that hard to do since Frisco is the BEST (and naughtiest) BN party anywhere!!!!!! I've been with that group for 2 years officially and once unofficially and there is NOTHING else that equals the grand time we have.

Like the saying goes, "I'm not from TX but I got here as fast as I could"! My husband is the Texan and I love it here. He's A pirate looks at PHifty and my son is A1A-Keet. He got his Buffett introduction in Frisco in April. He had the most Phun of his life and now he's a certified PH!
I PROMISE not to get in the way of you and Buffett (or would it be buffet?)! Just take me with you and I'll take any leftovers!!!
