I booked my vacation to cover the last week or so of October. Worst case, I'll end up in Key West for Fantasy Fest

When is MOTM? if it's the weekend of November 1 then it's an even safer bet that the concerts will be the 18th and 25th. Although is Fantasy Fest is still wrapping up that weekend and MOTM is November 8 then the Vegas shows could be the 25th and 1st.

Wow. So MOTM is going to overlap with Fantasy Fest? There might be a few parties going on during that time.

Fantasy Fest is the 17th to 26th this year.

KW couldn't handle both at the same time........

I would also say Oct. 18th & 25th are safe bets going by past years. I don't believe he announced the dates until late May or early June last year which was painful. I have become a believer in "dean_siu" as he seems to have insider information when it comes to the Vegas dates, parties etc. before it is announced. Have you heard anything yet bud???

I agree with PH67.
not put in the vaca req yet, but I will be there for sure....

Last 2 Weekends in October usually a safe bet, although the fiasco a few years ago with no shows then JB playing a private gig in Vegas didn't go over well.
As an FYI Fantasy Fest is October 17th-26th. In 2015 Fantasy Fest runs through Halloween October 23rd-Nov 1st and is during a full moon cycle. That
will be a fun week !

I haven't heard anything yet....but I would say the dates of 10/18 and 10/25 are 95% likely. The last two Saturdays in October being Vegas dates are about as sure as anything is on the tour. If I hear confirmation or on-sale dates, I'll be sure to pass along the news....but I think we are likely a month or so away at this point.

This will be my 9th time for Vegas and although I'm not as much a veteran as some, I agree that the last two Saturdays in October are most likely. My first time out in 2006, the shows weren't announced until August. Actually, they may have been announced earlier but the tickets didn't go on sale until the latter part of August. There are several reasons I remember this, none of them are particularly good.
The only time JB hasn't played in October since I've been going was in 2009 and he played in May that year.
Here's to hoping the dates are announced soon!!! Cheers!!!

Announcement was first week in April last year but the mid week shows in between Vegas shows weren't announced until early June. I don't really care when the tickets go on sale I just want the dates so I can start to work deals for room rates/comps.

Concur with not caring when tickets go on sale, just looking for a timeline to get plane tickets/hotel locked on. One good thing though, the price for the flight we'll most likely be taking has dropped almost $200 since last month. We didn't buy tickets until pretty late last year and got the best seats we've ever had there.

Got a great offer over the weekend from MLife so I got my room booked for the weekend of the 25th. May book one for the 1st just in case since it's always fun to be there for Halloween and a concert. Should be less than a month out for an announcement.

Got my room and flights booked for the weekend of Oct. 18th. Hope Jimmy doesn't get creative this year and change things up.

We are going Fri-Mon to get better flight prices and to be able to enjoy a full NFL Sunday in the sports book. Next week could be the week we get an announcement. It was the first week of April last year.

Funny you say that. Just booked the Flamingo a couple days ago for the 15th-19th. There is a 20 percent sale on and it's free cancellation so there is nothing to lose. I'm also hoping he doesn't change things up.
