how does one obtain 'left over' passes? From my experience, unless you have an active ticket for today, you can not get a fast pass.mjeischen wrote:Sell left over Disney Fast Passes on ebay.ohmyhell wrote: Where can I find one of those at? I never have had a financial windfall . . .

)I'm looking for an "official" announcement. If I didn't care so much about going to this show I would just book the dates. We can all sit and speculate. No biggie but no need to try and p*** in my wheaties either.Kasey wrote:I dug back through the Tour Dates thread and found this post from Captain P on May 16th, 2006:
"I can 98% confirm the October 21st Vegas date, because I know someone who already has tickets through a connection of hers. In fact, if I can pull it off, I have a ticket already promised to me as well."
So, we had a very strong rumor by mid-May last year.
Then on June 7th, this post from zydecoldsmobile:
"Here's the best proof Vegas in October is a reality: check the major hotels for the weekends of October 21 and 28...a sharp spike in rates is what you will find, in particular the MGM Grand. Not a discounted night a day before or after! The hotels know 20,000 parrotheads are coming!"
So, still just a rumor by June.
Then this post by KYPARROTHEAD on August 11th:
"Vegas is the 21st and 28th
I've got confirmation from two sources in the buffett organization, and from the one of the hotels in vegas they are legit dates. I have already booked plane tickets and hotel if that tells ya how sure i am
See ya there!"
So, you are right, we didn't really know until August last year.

The problem with this approach for me is I am would gamble my ass away. The Buffett weekend allows alot of extracurriculars.~Hippolyte~ wrote:I know who CaptianP was getting his info from last year, and she's already saying the same basic thing. So I believe it, and with the posted info from last year, about hotel prices going up in early June...I'm startin' to think about booking now.
What's the worst that can happen? I end up going to Vegas in October and not seeing Jimmy? I think I can still find something to do.
btw, I'm looking at going the first weekend (whenever that it

I *did* say you were right.
I predict we'll meet in Margaritaville Las Vegas on Friday night October 19th, 2007 and I will buy you a Top Shelf Margarita on the rocks, extra salt!

Yep, i endorse the tuscany as well.......ohmyhell wrote:Another inexpensive option that is pretty nice is the Tuscany. It's like 2 blocks east of the strip on Flamingo. I've stayed there for a few shows and have never been disapointed. The past few shows I've rented a timeshare. Those are super posh and you can get some sweet deals. For last October's show, we got a 2 bedroom suite that slept 8 for $300 for the whole weekend.mjeischen wrote:Guesstimations would tell me the announcement should come within the next week or 2. A man can hope anyway . . .
Hoepfully next week after I am able to assume a windfall of cash from Ebay and book a nice posh room somewhere other than the currently planned Hooters . . . Though hooters was Nice!
Hey mj... I truly appreciate your sky-high enthusiasm for Jimmy in Vegas. I've felt the very same way over the last 7 yrs of seeing him there.mjeischen wrote:So for fun I called Hooters Hotel and Casino. They had the big parties last year around the shows .. . . I called rather unsuspectingly expressing my interest in wanting to book a room for their Jimmy Buffett parties. I was only told to call back in late July they had no info yet.
Another interesting twist . . . IF nothing is currently booked for a venue and Jimmy just inked a deal with Harrah's would Jimmy look to brand loyalty and go with a venue other than MGM? I'm not sure Harrah's has a property to accomodate the size he is used to. The only one that comes to mind is Ceasar's because of the events they have hosted in the past but that was more boxing outside. I believe the Coloseum venue took the space though - that theatre only seats 4k.
And looking at all the dates and info from last eyar, we're still a good bit away from getting any details. Tickets went on sale last year on August 21.Tropo Trav wrote:I am putting together the pre parties both Oct 21 & 27th. These are the follow ons to the old parties at the now defunt Key Largo.
Both Saturdays there will be a pool party at Hooters featuring "Stars on the Water". They start at 11:00AM. Oct 21 I will hold a silent auction to benefit Singing for Change. I have been promised autographed items from Jimmy as well as cool stuph from Corona, M Ville and Taraula Tequila.
Both Saturdays after the Buffett concert I am hosting an "Encore" phlocking at Hooters. "Stars" will be in the house! I have a very special guest sitting in on Oct 21 as well. You really need to be there.
For more details (and a GREAT PH rate at Hooters for a room) call me at 919-325-9049 or contact me at tropotrav@earthlink.net

Give 'em a call....I'm thinking it was a 24hr cancellation notice.....mjeischen wrote:I remember his posts and the room rates then weren't fantastic. I wonder what the cancellation policy is on these rooms at Hooters. I may just book a few weekends and cancel what I don;t need.
