The wife is a Creighton alum and has decided she wants to go to the Las Vegas Invite. Has anyone attended before? Just looking for any kind of tips where to stay, tickets, etc. TIA

We’ll be there! Vegas is boring but watching the Hawks in person will get me there.
I’ve been twice...Orleans is a good venue and is a short Uber ride from anywhere on the strip.
Vegas is one of the few places you can actually fly direct from DSM. It’s typically pretty cheap but won’t be over Thanksgiving so it’s a moot point.Price wise
Also, hangovers

I have not lived in Vegas for nearly ten years but allegiant, (sp?), airlines use to be reasonable. On the strip the Monte Carlo had decent rates. Off the strip Palace Station was decent.The wife is a Creighton alum and has decided she wants to go to the Las Vegas Invite. Has anyone attended before?

Currently $474 RT on Southwest.
And the only way you get hungover is if you stop drinking.
Yeah- if you don’t want to see the Friday game
Leaving Thursday the 28th and coming back Monday the 2nd.
Friday falls in between those days.
Anybody staying at Excalibur?
I'm not sure on their rooms, but their casino floor has really improved recently. Decent sized sports book and easy to navigate as well.
My only concern is that Iowa will be playing the same time as the football game. Was really hoping football would be 11am CST.
I have a brother in Las Vegas. I am considering wintering there this year after last years brutal winter. I don’t know whether to drive or trust the bus system as he lives 6-7 miles from strip and downtown. Would be nice to see the Hawks out there.
Referring to the Park MGM above, I thought they had a pretty good price. Then noticed the fine print - $37 a day resort fees!!! Yikes. I knew they had been getting worse, but that is crazy. And travelocity had no option to search for a place with no fees, so that makes figuring cost more difficult.
Flew to Vegas once on Allegient. Never again.I have not lived in Vegas for nearly ten years but allegiant, (sp?), airlines use to be reasonable. On the strip the Monte Carlo had decent rates. Off the strip Palace Station was decent.
If Iowa wins the first game they should be fine...if they lose then it gets a bit iffy.
Last year's losers game was at 1pm PST. Winners game was late at like 7 or 8.
Also you can stay downtown for little to no resort fee.
True, but then you are looking at 2 Uber/Lyft trips each day to see the games.
The Orleans does not have their rate schedule out for November yet, which is insane.
You can book it. Just go their website and go to the upper right hand corner that says book now. Do not try to book the promotional rates as those aren’t available.
As a frequent flier of MGM properties I have some free nights I will be using.
$93 a night right now. Wednesday-Saturday. Probably where I will stay.True, but then you are looking at 2 Uber/Lyft trips each day to see the games.

Flew to Vegas on Allegiant many times and flew to Vegas United many times. The only noticeable difference to me, Allegiant is a direct flight and their flight times are horrible.
Crack of dawn or late at night for Allegiant
