Here's one for you...
During the last Vegas show, I was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, which is actually part of Mandalay Bay Hotel.
When I checked in, I noticed a 45' Prevost private motorcoach in the side driveway...a clear sign Jimmy or someone like Jimmy was also staying at the hotel. It is a dark brown marathon Coach...it was Jimmy's.
The day of the show, I was poolside at the pool bar having cocktails when I saw Jimmy walking by a little incognito...hat, sunglasses notebook in hand. I simply said hello, and thanked him for the years of entertainment, and wished him the best for the show that evening. he thanked me, asked my name, then asked if I was staying at the hotel. I think he was surprised I was, and that I was not a stalker. I mentioned we had a few things in common, including boats and Prevost coaches, we talked for five minutes...that was it but a nice moment for a phan that has gone to 100+ shows since 1987.
FYi...I got the room on Hotels.com, heavily discounted.
Moral of story....stay where he stays....if you can figure it out, you may meet him by chance if it is important to you.
Irvine, he has stayed at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel and I hear the Four Seasons in newport. San Diego...the Four Seasons in Carlsbad.
A chance to meet Mr. Jimmy Buffett
