No Tickets No Closed Circuit: How else to watch the fight in Vegas?

[sunny31]

why would you pay all that money just to watch it on tv? you can do it at home for cheaper and without being around a room full of people you don't know

It's my understanding that it's the non-MGM *casinos* and *hotels* (e.g., Caesar's Entertainment hotel casinos) that are barred from showing the fight and that the ban is effective for all of Clark County, not just the Strip. That's why they won't show the fight/have fight parties at any of the downtown casinos or any of the Station casinos like Red Rock off the Strip. But I don't get why people are acting like this is something new - this barring has been common practice for big PPV fights at MGM for at least a few years now.

But it's also my understanding that standalone bars (like Blondie's) not located in casino hotels can't be barred from showing the fight - even the bars on the Strip. That's why Blondie's has been able to show PPV fights in the past without issue.

I could certainly be mistaken about some of this but the above is my understanding and I think it's correct...

That would make sense.

Damnit. I'm gonna sell my closed circuit tickets and go to Blondie's.

Vegas is going to be INSANE, I don't see the point of being in Vegas unless you have all of that reserved already

I don't know all the particulars of the setup but the woman on the phone was telling me that the seating was sold out and that the $200 charge was for standing room only I think. It also sounded like a first come first serve kind of thing so maybe more risk involved with Blondie's - especially with the massive crowds expected for this fight compared to even the Canelo fight. But if you are interested in that bar I'd strongly recommend calling them first for the details as I don't remember all the details the lady that worked there gave me...

Yeah it was standing room only for Canelo. I got there 2 hours early and it was jam packed already.

The free beer is what makes the deal so good. But I'll probably pass on it, because with the theater, I know my seats are reserved.

I don't understand why any of you would want to deal with the crowds and watch the fight at a damn bar or on cctv with some strangers when you can watch it on PPV in silence. Waste of time and money.

Yep. Who wants to go to Vegas?

What a drag. Way more fun in your living room.
