Hi all
Need some info.Last minute. Planning on hitting one of the vegas shows . Problem is excessive walking wears wife out. Tried for handicapped seats but too late. Can get seats in upper 100's at MGM grand. Will this require steep climbing or is there an aisle to walk down from to reach seats ? Hope I explained myself.
Went to show at Blossom in Ohio. Awesome ! Hope I can make Vegas work.

Call the MGM directly - and ask about seating, explain that customer service was unable to a ssist you...
1) where are you staying? Ask them if you can get a wheel-chair for use, there may be a charge
2) ask your hotel about using the wheel-chair to/at the MGM, explain you are planning to go to the Buffett Concert.
The steps in some areas are not bad, but it can be a hike...just call and ask...but go through your hotel first to see, if you can get that...and you have a wheel chair with you at the concert, you are half way there.
I am SURE there are a few handicapp & companion seats avaiable - but you have to talk to a really person about that.
OH - not to mention that JUST walking to the MGM Grand is LONG! It all depends where you get dropped off. Plus Vegas is not a small town, it is unfortunately all about walking...
good luck

Well it looks like we will be going. Finally got things settled here so I can make plans for Vegas. Booked the MGM Grand. Flight is taken care of. I am ready to go. lol
What we gave each other ain't exactly clear. Probably comes under the heading of Souviners.

Okay first page, first post is a list of names of who is going....If your posts were unclear, then I did not post your name....please "quote" and add yourself!!!
Meet and Greet Thursday night - 12-Volt Bar as usual about 10pm
I have not heard about any concert at M'Ville Friday night, maybe next month...the two Fridays before the concerts are blocked... lets wait and see. And please do not believed what you read on FB, unless it is from M'ville's page. Last year, there were so many people that were shut out of meeting and seeing the crew

I have up to 5 tickets available in section 205 for face + fees ($79 each). I'll sell any number between 1 and 5, depending on how many you might need. PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

I am assuming this is Upper Level? It is hard to read on the ticket, but it is typically on the upper right handside
