Planning a Chiefs at Raiders trip
 

I’m hopeful that the NFL will avoid scheduling this game the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas. If they avoid those two weeks I’m going to pull the trigger on a long weekend in Vegas with the wife. I know many of you have been to the new stadium. How about some helpful tips and tricks for a visit. When to buy tickets? Where to stay? What time to arrive at the stadium? Chiefs friendly establishments? Those are questions I’d love to garner some feedback on.

My advice: Try to talk your wife into a threesome. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

This thread is off to a predictably strong start.

It's real expensive. Save money by staying at Circus Circus.







I'm kidding don't stay any of these places no matter how cheap they are.

Just be careful the game is not in a position to be flexed.

Have fun and call around to find a hotel near the stadium.

I wanted to go last year but the timing sucked around Thanksgiving. I'm also interested in going this year.

When does the schedule come out?

There’s a new Marriott next to the stadium

Vegas is a fantastic town. The question is so broad.

You have shows, golf, Hoover Dam, great restaurants, cheap buffets, Chinatown, museums, gambling, old school area, new ritzy stuff, cigar shops, shopping, sports books, comedy shows, Cirque de Soleil, glitzy hotels, cheap hotels, top golf, indoor skydiving, music shows like U2

I'll be there from this Sunday until Thursday for a trade show. Staying at Trump International.

The list is long......focus on things you never get a chance to do.

Beware the "resort fees" too. Those have ballooned kind of out of control since formula 1

You didn't mention the world's largest strip club, Sapphire.

Aren't those common and basically unavoidable? I know Bellagio and Caesars have them. I assume the other top brands do also.

I attended the game last season and had a great time

Allegiant is a fantastic stadium. I got there when gates opened which is like 2 hours before kickoff which gave me time to walk around the stadium and watch some warmups

Rideshare from the Strip is super easy. Drop-off point is just a short walk through some colorful "tailgating" (why pay for a Cypress Hill concert when you can just hit the Allegiant parking lot on game day?)

It is walkable from the strip, especially towards the Mandalay Bay side. I stayed at the Cosmo further up and walked back which took about an hour so doable but I'd probably just get an Uber next time

I think I monitored tickets for a few weeks before springing for what I felt was the softest kick in the nuts, so no real advice there

There were KC fans everywhere along with a mix of every other fan base, which was kind of wild, so every place felt like a Chiefs friendly establishment

Sat next to big dude from Compton at the game who was all bark, no bite. My wife saw him digging in his teeth after a hotdog and offered him a flossing pick and we were pretty much best friends the rest of the game

Seriously thinking about doing it again this season

Horseshoe is a cheap option for sleeping and you can walk right into Paris for a superior casino experience and food



yes




I went to Horseshoe the weekend after the SB and it was absolutely PACKED with Chiefs jerseys.

I don't waste time or money in them.
