I'm stoked to catch the Johnnies in Vegas against Baylor and Iowa St. Is anyone else going?

Also, does anyone know why the only section with unavailable tickets for both of the SJU games is right behind St. John's bench? That's where I really wanted to sit :(

Probably either need to get through St John's or already sold out.

An email was sent a few weeks back about tickets going on sale at 10 AM that day. Said email was in my mail box at around 10:30; checked 118 and most tickets were gonzo. Not suspicious at all. In any event, I then just bought seats in the next section which was closer to half court and have rows A for one game, B for the next. So no harm, no foul.

Leaving Sunday afternoon, coming back on Friday. Potential problem is they might have to play on Thanksgiving if they're not in the top 4. And getting into the top 4 will depend on point differential and other things for all teams that start out 2-0.

Bright side is LV is cheap that week. Priced Bellagio at $1,200 for 5 nights, which I assume is pretty good.

That ain't cheap. I just got an email from the Venetian for the nights of the tourney for $79/night, so $400 for Sunday-Friday

My rate includes free breakfast for two each day plus $100 dining credit, plus a credit card points boost. No idea as to the relative quality of either hotel.

Been to Vegas for professional meetings dozens of times. Both Venetian and Bellagio are 4/5 star properties on the best part of the strip. Sounds like both deals quoted here are really good and likely a very slow week in Vegas.
 
Vegas is on a down cycle. Occupancy way down. Surcharges on rooms, charging for parking and food/drink pricing are some of the problems. Some properties back to offering deals to attract regulars into coming back. Haven't been there in awhile and definitely want to get back to see all the changes. Downtown has been built up and especially want to see Circa with it's pool/sportsbook combo.

I don’t plan to go but out of curiosity I priced the Venetian. They were advertising $99 a night but there is a $55 a night resort fee. Still pretty good.

Circa is really nice, highly recommend it, my favorite sportsbook and the entire casino floors are great. Better than anything on the strip imho

Circa's sports book is amazing! Make sure you reserve seats if you want to get the full experience
