Vegas Again/2025 and WCC

[Thunder Road]

Totally agree..   

 

105 shows over 43 years and counting. 

Tribute bands are the future

Now we need Origin in Vegas and London.

London for me. It would probably be bigger than CC final

Only people who know and like rugby league would attend. Outside of the sport NSW v QL is irrelevant and insignificant. No one cares. Yeah you’d get some Aussies turning up and some northerners traveling down but I doubt it would be the hit you think. 
 

A successful origin in the uk would be just about the final nail in the international game and would do significant damage to the uk domestic league.

Back on the subject of Las Vegas i forwarn anyone going to make sure they are well cashed up.

NO re-entry is allowed at the stadium which is out of town in an area with very little else apart from a petrol station on the corner.

Food and drink is not allowed to be brought into the stadium and the max bag seize is a small purse for basically a mobile phone and credit cards.

Beers are 12/14 dollars a beef sandwich 25 dollars.

Allowing for 8 hours (4 matches) 1 beer an hour and its not a pint just a small bottle allow around 100 dollars for beers and 50 dollars for snacks 150 min per person

Decent seat around 185 so all up PP 300 +

The bag size is 12 x6 x12 but clear bags. Back in march loads turned away at gates but were told luggage type lockers were for people to use (no idea what they charge).Water 700ml was about £5-50 ish but food was cheaper than $25 , sure you could last out 8 hours without beef .

It doesn’t have to be that expensive. Current prices are about $17 for most food options (so about £13). Beers were pint cans last year (Modelo and other brands) and were about £10 each. 
 

We were sat right behind the posts, front row and I paid £50 each plus taxes

OK, I do think you've really hammered this point home now pal. Vegas is expensive.

Wow!!!

I guess if people have the money and want to go then fair enough but that is incredible ! 

We watch quite a lot of tribute acts at our local venue...enjoyed the Bruce one there ! ....having said that I gave up booze this year and tribute acts aren't quite as convincing when you are are sober!

I remember watching a Dutch club singer on holiday once who sang knock knock knocking on heavens door. Which he pronounced K-nock K-nock k-nocking on heavens door which was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.  In an only fools and horses crwying sort of way.

It is and fans should know to be prepared as many think it's el cheapo which it's not 

El cheapo is Dragons and stay in Loret:))

Parked up and found this place right outside the stadium, reasonably priced and very nice food and beer: https://www.wskystadium.com/menu/

Had a couple of cokes in the stadium and $30 dollar seats which were a brilliant view - there are no bad seats.

You don't HAVE to spend silly money if you don't want to.

Just pointing out what we had to pay which was expensive.

Well if he's from Atlantis, it probably cost him a fortune to get there and the scaly skin and dorsal fin would have given him away.

If any fans think that attending an RL game in Vegas is "el cheapo" then they clearly have too much money, and should probably invest in an RL team.

Well that's ok then. However, reading your posts does not give that impression.  "What we had to pay" not "what we chose to pay"

Well we didn't have a choice where we were sitting those were the prices.

Last year and this year tickets are on open sale, in every price range. If was an organised tour, you could have told them you were sorting your own tickets, pretty sure they would have accommodated you.

That wouldn’t seem like a good option to the NSW and QLD fans who support their local States
