They are very welcoming and nice at the gym too man. They encourage you to walk around, and now that floyd has a fight coming up, its the best time to go. I talked to Roger, Sr, his TBE cousin, etcetc. You can also watch sparring sessions while seeing JLeon Love and other TMT fighters walk past you. ALL very nice. Don't pass it up. See it is as a part of your resume as a boxing fan.
    Good stuff. Thanks man

But my dislike for Mayweather is kinda preventing me from going. Should I just say screw it and go, or is it not really that important? Also, any suggestions on things to do here aside from gamble.
        If your "dislike" is that personal. Don't go. Boxing is bigger than Floyd. Was there before him & will be there after him.

          Boxing is bigger than him, this is just one of the things I was thinking of doing while here. Like I said I would really like to talk boxing with his Pops and Uncle, just not really a fan of Floyd

            Of course.

            Like him or not, Floyd's one of the best fighters of all time, visiting his gym and getting to meet and talk to people he works with would be a great experience for any boxing fan. I'd definitely go if I had the opportunity.

            In worst case scenario, you can always kick him in the nuts.

            You don't have the balls to pull this off, though......

                Here are some of the things I did / I'd suggest that are FREE:

                - WALK around the strip, watch street performers (get that Vegas vibe) (keep your distance from the performers, OTHERWISE, you'd be on that awkward I don't want to donate position - don't volunteer, just watch from a safe distance)

                - Welcome To Las Vegas Sign (there is a photo line, an iconic photo for you as a visitor)

                - Check out Ceasars Palace and its mall, place is beautiful inside (you can also see and take a pic with the Joe Louis statue)

                - Fernando Vargas Gym (if you care for him, its a must)

                - MGM Grand Lobby / Arena (you get to be where all the big boxing events have happened if you know what I mean)

                - Pawn Stars place (Gold & Silver Pawn Shop) / I even got asked to appear in an episode as an extra Felt extremely dumb after a while. The show is ****ing fake. They record it in a replica stage on the back.

                Here are others that cost money and the others that due to time constraints might not possible:

                - High Roller (AWESOME experience, you can go with friends and have drinks while you watch the whole city from above - it gives you that "now we here" reflective type feeling if you know what I mean

                - AdventureDome (theme park inside a huge capsule at the Circus Hotel - feels like its aimed for kids but you see people from all ages)

                - Grand Canyon

                - David Copperfield Magic Show (its enjoyable but a bit disappointing for the price tbh - if Criss Angel is in town, which he wasn't when I visited, go to the Criss Angel show)

                - Zumanity (18+ version of cirque du soleil) (very arousing, loved it lol )

                Off the top of my head. You can also of course find bars in every hotel and do the usual stuff. Tried to suggest other things to do.

                DON'T entertain rappers like I did or get harassed for half a mile to buy for the EP they put in your hands.

                  ALSO, be on the lookout for signings, Tyson had a few when I visited but I missed them. If there is a SMALL fight taking place, Id suggest go to it with your friends.

                  Also the Paris Tower, if you buy the tickets they OFFER YOU the High Roller tickets for half the price which is A VERY GOOD DEAL.

                    No problem man. Also for food, you got your expensive restaurants that are easy to spot out but you also have your regular fast food places on the strip. Subway, Panda Express, McDonalds... with the same prices you'll find anywhere else. You also have your normal restaurants like Chilis and Hard Rock Cafe which are awesome and good prices as well, if you want to go eat out one of the nights. You won't break the bank at all.

                    Stay away from strip club offers, it all just feels shady as hell. Avoid interacting with beggars or street performers, just observe from afar. Stay safe, its easy to.

                      I didn't say I hated him. You are aware that you can not care too much for one person but still like people in that person''s family right?
