It's been said by someone in a high place in the BDO that over 1000 tickets were sold in the first few days.

Is this correct

Yes, and then tailed off to a trickle rather quickly. So effectively, the small hardcore who were desperately waiting for tickets got in early (not even the best seats)

Very good thanks!

A great place to experience at least once. Loved Freemont Street at night, loved the Grand Canyon/Route 66/Hoover Damm. Shot some automatic guns (AK47 etc), went up the STart tower for a drink, watched Big Elvis (!) went to Hells Kitchen. Gambled and lost (with lots of 'free' drinks while gambling). Ate and drank lots relatively cheaply so all good :) And they do still do cans of Miller Lite for $2.50 in lots of shops or 2 cans for $8 for Bud Lite Orange/LIme etc (!). The cans are 24oz so massive.
all good :)
Good to hear.
So the myth about free drinks is true :)

well you have to tip a $ so technically not free, and of course you are gambling and most probably losing. But apart from that it is very easy to get these drinks while gambling - even on penny slots , the waitresses don't care, me and my mate would sit at a machine for 5 mins hardly putting anything in to a slot, get the waitress attention, get a drink and bugger off. At one point I was playing and doing well with the other three watching on and the waitress is more than happy to get us all a drink, 5$ tip and she is back 10 minutes later for another round!

Love big elvis, best free show on the strip

Think it’s only planet Hollywood that does the 2 for 8 dollars, I know flamingo doesn’t.

They are in the shops outside the hotels as well (mainly in the gap between PH and MGM where there are a quite a few shops/bars/fast food places.). In fact , I find that side of the strip much better for walking along/drinking/people watching etc, the other side is just hotel to hotel.

"have a word with AXS where you got the tickets and they should reimburse you the difference - they input the service charge incorrectly to start with"

Nothing to do with the BDO.
