Here’s a handy tip. If you want to see a show while in Vegas, which I highly recommend, you should check out a discount ticket seller. One of the ones I like to use is called tickets2nite. Tickets 2Nite; The web site is fairly useless, but at least you can find out where they are at. This business is located near the M & M Factory in the huge Coke bottle. This is just North of the MGM Grand, or across from the New York New York. (By the way, they don’t open until noon.) Essentially, what happens is, you go there and ask for the show you are interested in, say Spamalot at the Wynn. They will tell you if they have any tickets for it and what they are asking for them. I have found some really great deals here. Once we found two 2nd row center seats to the Beatles inspired show, LOVE, at the Mirage. They were slightly under face value. We didn’t end up getting them, but we were surprised at the quality of the seats. We did get 3rd row Jay Leno tickets at the Mirage about 6 hours before the show. We also almost bought some Spamalot tickets the day of the show. In that case, I would order them over the phone. In order to get them, I would have had to get myself down to the Coke bottle, then take a voucher to the Wynn, and the Wynn would print the tickets with exact seat numbers. Those tickets were only guaranteeing a lower level seat. For the Leno show, we knew our exact seat location immediately.
You can generally expect to pay anywhere from about 60% - 90% of the original ticket price. Premium seats may be more, based on availability, but if you are looking at the last minute, this is once of your best chances to get seats at all.
There are other discount vendors. There is one near the front door (facing the Wynn) of the Fashion Show Mall. If you want guaranteed seats, and you have days or weeks until your trip, go ahead and order them online on the hotel’s website. If you are spontaneous, or need last minute tickets, check out these options. Also Click Here for a $2 coupon.
