Traveling to the states...

jeeves19 · January 29, 2014, 11:04:12 PM

Looking to go to the states in November with a group of lads, and was wanting catch some NFL & NBA games.
Looking to start off on the east coast, and then end up in Las Vegas by the end of 3 weeks.
Anyone know of any companies, that could hook up flights, accommodation, and tickets for groups?
Could go through a travel agent, but not sure how they go with sporting events and tickets?

Just book tickets through stubhub. You are better off getting tickets for NBA games once you are over there because depending where you are, if the team sucks you should be able to get cheap seats. A lot of teams have $1 tickets or pretty cheap court side seats. The NFL games are not as easy to get tickets for and will likely be a lot more expensive. You might be better off hitting up some of the NFL teams message boards once the schedule is released and trying to get tickets from the season ticket holders if they don't plan on going.

Been to Vegas, very good if you are a gambling man, but I feel if you aren't you dont get the full experience imo.

Still heaps of things to do - shows, canyon, hoover dam etc etc

Yup.

Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of things to do other than gambling, but for the best experience, being a gambling person makes it so much more worthwhile.

Gonna hire a Porsche or a Mustang for a day, and cruise around the strip, drive out to the dam.
But heard Vegas have like a theme park, and also see some magic shows, there'll be heaps to do aside from gamble

I assume you are 25+ yeah? Hiring a badd ass car is sick.

I think it is the New York-New York from memory that actually has a roller coaster go through the Casino

Hey Jeeves. You might want to re-think the cruising the strip part as the traffic on the strip is REDICULOUS!!!

Pedestrians have right of way so you can wait a heap of light changes and not move an inch. I am hiring a Camaro for the week I am in LA and Vegas and I dont plan on driving much in Vegas (except out to Hoover Dam and the Canyon).
