It's like planting your tomatoes. You need to wait until May or June.

With 5 Saturdays in October this year it makes things a little more interesting. My bet would be the 22nd. If he goes back to having two shows I would say the 15th & 22nd. 29th would be fun because that's when all the big Halloween celebrations will be going on.

Are the odds out yet whether he'll play the MGM again or the new arena?

That's an interesting thought. Is the new venue indoors? If not it could be a chilly October evening.

MGM is still being booked by LiveNation, while AEG is promoting the shows at the T Mobile Arena. Therefore, I'm guessing he'll be back at MGM (unless he decides to do an outdoor show at the new MGM Festival grounds)

Turning 40 this October. The plan is to do it in Vegas. Though this year there isn't a chance he'll play on my bday (he has before). So come on Jimmy! I need Detroit and Vegas info!

Lionel Richie is playing Vegas Sept 21 - Oct 12. Could we see him at a Buffett show the 15th?

I get the Live Nation Vegas concert updates in my email and they are promoting shows at the T Mobile Arena as well as the GGA. I do like the idea of an outdoor show at the Festival Grounds though.

Any Saturday in October is great for me, however, I must say that I would prefer the last weekend in October because of the Halloween weekend. The Hard Rock has the the Fetish and Fantasy Ball, not that I indulge in it, but the party there is out of this world. Hopefully, we get two weekend shows this year. Unfortunately, the partying got the best of me last year in Fin City and I slept through most of the show. As you can imagine, I was devasted in the morning knowing that I did not remember any of the show. Fortunately, Buffett played Irvine the following weekend, so I made up for it by hitting the show and only drinking a few glasses of red wine.

Me too. My 40th is on Halloween.
I'm actually hoping for the 22nd cause FSU is off that Saturday. Makes Saturday in the sports book less stressful when they aren't playing.

Just checked the thread from last year and it looks like the Vegas date was announced on May 7. So even though the other dates are starting to roll out we may still be waiting a while.

Got an M Life Presale email late last night. Keith Urban is playing the T-Mobile Arena on October 21. What does that have to do with JB? Nothing really, but if JB does play two weekends and they are the 15th and 22nd then some folks who would be attending JB's show on the 22nd may be interested in catching that show.

I get my hopes up every time I get one of those M Life emails even though I know I would hear the news here or on Facebook first. If anything we may learn when Buffett won't be playing Vegas from those emails if we see another artist on the 15th, 22, or even 29th.

No news to add but I am looking in to a work trip to Vegas in May and thought I would drop by here as well. I think I am going to book a room the weekend of the 22nd and keep my fingers crossed.

I would think this would be a possible date.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

This would also work out well for 8 lucky guys in Vegas :D

The 22nd is what we are hoping for as well. Almost bought airfare Fri-Mon this past weekend but wanted to wait for a date just in case.

Amo posted Oct. 20 for Sacramento and his info has been pretty accurate the last few years so I'm going to assume Vegas will be Oct. 22. Hotel reservation is made but I'm waiting for an official announcement before I buy a plane ticket.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here
