It is a hockey recreation and you are not broke. By no means, ever do SRO until you must do it to get a seat (ha, see what I did there?!) for a recreation you could not in any other case afford. Additionally, you look semi-respectable so sneak down throughout 1st intermission, clearly.
Whereas I have been to loads of occasions and performances just lately, I have not been to a professional hockey recreation since early 2017… nor have I ever been to at least one on New Years Eve in a metropolis like Las Vegas the place they will understandably be gearing up safety protocols.
Their first season commenced proper after October 1st, 2017 so I am certain they’ve already been fairly excessive safety from the bounce.
I will begin out with a number of questions I’ve so as of approximate significance, although I additionally overtly solicit any and all useful FYIs, feedback, or different data.
1. How do I really GET to T-Cell Area on foot from the strip? I’ve laid eyes on it and handed by it plenty of occasions, however have by no means gone to an occasion there, so I am questioning if there’s something I ought to know by way of getting there as a pedestrian, or something I ought to keep away from by way of navigating the foot site visitors areas surrounding the stadium. I would be arriving at MGM Grand Monorail station if that makes any distinction by way of what strategy I would take.
I went to a Saturday night time Stevie Nicks live performance and a Sunday matinee VGK recreation and all the pieces was fairly straightforward. NYNY/Park MGM/T-Cell are all tremendous accessible to one another. I would think about the MGM Grand monorail cease is a 20 minute stroll MAX throughout LVB x Tropicana even when site visitors (automobile/rideshare/foot) is gnarly.
2. Based mostly on a midday recreation begin time, what time ought to I arrive to T-Cell Area? Seated in part 213 if that makes any distinction. My intuition says to reach “a little bit after 11”, but when that is not sufficient time I would relatively not discover out the onerous approach.
That must be effective. IMO, present up at 10 a.m. and do the @julia Particular (play “not nice paytable however low denom Bonus Poker)” at a Park bar and pregame ‘without spending a dime.’
3. I assume I should not anticipate any points carrying a smartphone charging wire/block and/or a small battery pack? I will be attending the sport sporting the identical garments I will be sporting to an NYE occasion that night time (i.e., I will be coming down from the Strat by monorail and will probably be remaining on the strip the remainder of the afternoon/night) and was planning to easily put my charger/battery in one in every of my blazer pockets. No bag of any sort. I checked the prohibited gadgets record and there seems to be no point out of something like this. In all probability a foolish query, however I’ve by no means tried to deliver a telephone charger/battery pack right into a venue earlier than so maybe that is generally one thing picked up by metallic detectors and such.
Do not suppose any of this will probably be an issue however not my space of experience.
4. Tough thought of what a beer prices there? I am certain it is silly costly, I simply wish to have a way of how grossly I will be overpaying so I might be mentally ready.
It is silly; $15-20. Once more, pregame on the Peppermill or a Park MGM bar IMO.
As talked about, any extra insights tremendously appreciated… significantly if there are non-obvious issues relating to one getting probably the most out of their first journey to T-Cell Area.
Thanks prematurely!
