Las Vegas options

Post by slcagg » February 13th, 2025, 9:48 pm

Hey something has opened up that I can make Vegas this year for Thurs and Friday. First time since I was a college student and in the WAC.

Anyone have suggestions on what to do for tickets not being there the full tournament?

Also any suggestions on where to stay?

Lots of options for tickets. Any of the resale ticket sites, scalpers in front of the stadium. We usually just buy at the ticket office at the stadium for the session the Aggies play in. Several different price ranges for whatever is in your budget.

We stayed at Club De Soleil last year and are doing the same this year. They are nice suites that fit my family of 6. When it was just me and a few of my boys we also stayed at silver sevens which is about a mile walk to the stadium which wasn't bad. Not the nicest place by any means but convenient to be able to walk to the stadium.

Can you just walk up before the game and buy them from the ticket office?

You can. Mostly upper bowl available there. StubHub and TickPick are also options as well. If you want all of the games for those days then you could look at the bundles the MW is selling. If you buy 3 sessions ahead of time you get 15% off and if you buy 5 sessions you get 20% off.

My cousin stayed at the lake Las Vegas Westin last year. He said it was pretty nice and not very busy. Relatively cheap too if I remember right.


Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

If you go the 3rd party ticket route I would probably wait till the seeding is decided because you'll at least get a bunch of tickets pop up for Thursday. I know I plan on listing part of my groups tickets to the session that USU is not attending. I know not all schools release their tickets at the same time, but I always book through a different school and this year I've already got my tickets whereas last year it was about a week before the tournament when they released them.

Last night Diana mentioned at a pre-game event that USU sold out their full allotment of tournament tickets for the first time ever. She then asked who was going and was disappointed with the small number of people that raised their hands.

Has anyone that purchased tickets from USU received them yet or have you heard when they'll be distributed? I know they originally said mid-late February.

Should be receiving them this week. Last year was on February 27th.
