On The Fence About Vegas? - Page 2

Update on my Fence Situation:

Of the 4 ladies planning to go on this Mexican cruise, one still has not confirmed a cabinmate and she says she cannot afford the trip without one, another says she doesn't have enough vacation time accrued but would take leave without pay even tho she can't really afford to and I don't know what the story is on the third one, BUT... we were supposed to book the cruise this coming Saturday and that date has been pushed back by THREE WEEKS!!! Since two of these ladies just took their first cruise 4 months ago, maybe they have "cruise-itis" and are going to cancel this trip because the "new" is wearing off of the experience!!

So I find myself secretly hoping they WILL eventually cancel even booking the cruise. If they do, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO going to Vegas!! I don't care how much the airfare costs and I don't care how bad of a seat I get because I KNOW there aren't any seats behind the stage. The IMAX screen and the live sound will be enough for me.

Maybe I'll tempt fate and let the ladies know it's okay if they change their minds cuz Stevie's getting ready to bust out the wardrobe cases.

A cruise will always be available to you, but Stevie won't! So what if your companions flake out on you? Let them know that their indecisiveness has pushed you to Vegas...which trip will you regret not taking??? Your friends will understand!

Also, desertangel, you are in the Great NW like me, and I have only a 2 hour plane trip to Vegas, that should only cost about $500 for plane and hotel on hotels.com or other sites that give me hotel/plane discounts...think about it before you go (on a cruise)

Also, for every one Ledgie that shows up, another kinda-fan will stay home (how's that for logic?) We should all be there, chiffon and everything!

Yea, so i'm caving and will more than likely be booking my flight tomorrow. It's looking like i'll be in Vegas from the 9th to the 12th (or the 13th...haven't decided but i'm only doing one or two shows).

I'm doing the 9th-12th or 13th too! As long as I'm gone by Friday, because that's when the tourists arrive!

That is excellent news! If you do go you will never regret it!

Yeah, I'm 16 and was going to be going alone as a last resort but I managed to convince my mom to go with me (and trust me, it wasn't easy to convince her!) So I'll be going to the Friday night show by myself with my third row ticket and then will get a couple of decent seats for the Saturday show for my Mom and myself. I am almost thinking it would be really fun to sit in the Mezannine on the second night. If this show is as theatrical as Stevie said with a big Imax Screen it may be cool to have an arial view of the stage, you know?

Whoooo, hooo. Marissa caved.

Now I have a flightmate. Yea. This is going to be one big party at the Flamingo.

That is a very good idea! Especially since you already have really close tickets for another nite, you'll really get a great overall view of the whole show.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd have two completely different viewpoints (and besides the tickets would be much cheaper!)

Whenever my husband goes to FM or Stevie show's with me (which is rare) but when he does go he always wants to sit quite a few rows back because he wants to see the whole stage, all the band members and the whole show, (and get his money's worth as he puts it) while I get a ticket for myself in the front row.
