MGM Gand rocks with AC/DC and Rival Sons

The hard rock group AC/DC will be rocking the MGM Grand the Friday night of April 9th. AC/DC is one of my favorite rock bands. There music from decades ago still rocks today.

But another band on the show is one you should look out for. The "Rival Sons", a band from LA, was added to the the show last week. This is a band I have been following for a few years. They are a had rocking band similar to AC/DC and the other power rock bands from the late 60's and early 70's. Bands like the Who, Beatles, Led Zeppelin influence the music of the Rival Sons.

The Rival Sons are a band on the rise. With the release of their first album last summer called "Before the Fire". It is available on the iTunes website. Also check out their Myspace or Facebook pages to listen to their songs.

The show said to be sold out. But if your staying at the MGM Grand and a member of the players club, maybe they will have some tickets left. Worth taking the time to check if your a rock n roll fan!! There are a few tickets left for the big spenders available on the online ticket sites.

If you have tickets for the show, enjoy the old and new of rock n roll!!!

Monte Carlo Hotel Spring Break Disounts

Book now to save with these two Monte Carlo Hotel discount deals. Always nice to save money on the hotel, gives you more money to play with.

With much of the City Center project open now, the Monte Carlo is a good location to stay if you want to see what City Center has to offer. The free tram is located at the back of the Monte Carlo, you can ride to the tram to the Aria Hotel, the Crystals Shopping Mall and the Bellagio. City Center is large, be ready for a lot of walking.

Crystals Shopping mall is nice for window shopping and browsing. The architecture is a must see. The fountains and sculptures are unique. Most of the stores are mostly high end jewelry and clothes stores. No cheap places to eat there either.

The Aria is a short walk from the Crystals Shopping mall. Once down the stairs from the tram, just walk out the glass doors to your right and across the plaza to the Aria entrance.

The tram at the Bellagio is located at the back, quite a long walk. You walk past the candy store with the chocolate fountain. And all the way down that corridor past a few shops and restaurants until your facing an escalator about 60 feet high. Go up the escalator, the tram to Aria is on your right.

I think the Monte Carlo is a good base to check out the Aria, Crystals and Bellagio. Also a good spot for walking to the NYNY Hotel or MGM.

Take a look at the two discount deals and plan that well deserved vacation you need!

Aria, Encore and Palazzo

Back from my latest vacation in Las Vegas. I stayed three nights at the Encore for the first time. Then the last three nights at the Palazzo. The Venetian\Palazzo is where I usually stay because of the comped room offers they keep sending me.

Really not much difference in the rooms between Encore and Palazzo. Encore is a little more modern decor. But both rooms are suites and large. The Encore is a long walk to anywhere on the strip. And I had only bad luck in the Encore\Wynn casinos. Never have had much luck there.

Went down to the new Aria Hotel and casino to look around, and try my luck. The Aria is huge. The inside is a bit dark, but was ok for me. Some people have said is too dark for them. Very large casino, slot areas and table areas spread in all different parts of the casino. Many of the newest slots available here. Had good luck my first try here, bad luck the second time. Tried the buffet twice, priced ok, and good selection of food. But think I will make it casino too visit on most trips.

Went to the Mirage hotel to the B. B. Kings Blues Club for dinner and to listen to the music. If you enjoy live music, then this is a place you should visit. The house band is very good. They had a guest band called the "Night Owls", they were also very good. The cover charge on Friday night was only $5.00, and the band plays a long time. The food is priced reasonably and good.

Check out the Aria on your next visit, lots to see!!
