Guys, I am in charge of my brothers bachelor party.
And because we both are BIG SX and MX fans, i had the idea to fly with him to Vegas the first weekend of May.
Well, I convinced my two older brothers, and now the flight tikets are already booked.

So, as we are from Germany, here are some open questions:
Any suggestions about where to buy tickets for the Las Vegas SX? Any special deals around?
The pits are open to everybody, right? Or do we need special pit-passes?
I am thinking of going in my "traditional" MXoN dress in the germany colors (look at my avatar) to show some support for our german Wunderkind Roczen. Do you guys think I will get in trouble wearing that in the US? What are the temperatures in LV start of May?

Is anyone of you tailgating in at the Las Vegas SX? WinkWhistling

To buy tickets online now.... go to that link.
http://www.unlvtickets.com/eventInfo/spe/398/2014-supercross-finals/
Then click on the red button on the top right side that says "Get Tickets Now".

And yes wear that get-up.
But don't be surprised if you see others dressed similar. Smile


As for the pits.

"Party in the Pits
Fans are encouraged to come early to experience the Party in the Pits as well as enjoy afternoon practice. The Party in the Pits features each team and riders signing autographs, thrill acts, main stage activities, live bands, vendor booths and other activities. The Party in the Pits open at 12:30pm is free with your paid event ticket."

As for the weather in early May in Vegas.
Expect maybe around 80/85 degrees during the day and around 59/60 maybe at night.
That would be my best prediction.

And after the race (or even on Friday night) head up to Center (Circle) bar at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino where you'll find plenty of pro riders and industry people drinking.

Thanks for the info so far!
With the temperatures at about 85 during the day, I guess I will suffer from my warm German-Fro-Daddy dress and wig. But in the evening it will keep me warm and comfy :-)

And I will make sure that we show up at the Hard Rock Hotel after the night show!!!

You may be a little hot during the day, sit on the tower side during practice and you will be in the shade, but you will be fine wearing whatever you want in Vegas. Plenty of people will be tail gating, it is legal to drink in public in Vegas! Pits are open til like 5-6pm to everyone, no Monster can or passes needed.

UNLVtickets is the only place to buy tickets for Sam Boyd stadium. They are also sold through the Thomas and Mack Center box office on the campus on UNLV during weekdays and whenever there isn't anything going on at Sam Boyd.

The site is working for me. You can call them, as well. They will sell you tickets over the phone. That may be your best bet right now

MXMasta, you better hit me up and say hi at the race. Gotta say hi to my German moto addict friend when we're in the same place. I'll shoot you my phone # on Twitter.

Do not forget to go to Enduro X on Friday night. In fact its an all day affair. Enjoy and if you walk into a room with the bath tub full of ice I would turn around before the girls offer you a drink. You will wake up lying in the ice and missing an organ. Lol

If you want good seats check out Stubhub.com, that is where I bought mine. There are not very many seats to chose from that are not on the "secondary" market this late in the game. Stubhub is a legitimate site that wont rip you off. Maybe I will see you there!

Not all the time, you just have to shop for the value and find it. Been shopping on Stubhub for years. You want to see rip off, you should have seen Superbowl tickets the Monday after the NFC Championship game. 3,400$ per seat for the absolute top of the stadium.

Masta, I have 3 tickets in VIP section 109 for face value if you haven't scored any tickets yet. The seats are at the red square:

Thanks guys for all the good (and bad ;-) ) posts!

@DanDunes
Yes, looking forward to say hi to you. We will be at the SX come practice time I guess. Just send me your number and I will try to contact you.

@Voodoo27
Right now it is not really sure if we need 2 or 4 tickets. If we need only 2 tickets, would you sell only two of the three you have?

Thanks for the link!
I have already thought of maybe going to the Imperial Palace Auto Collections - if I find the time to so so ;-)

And yes, finding some nice TriChevy Cars or parts is in the back of my mind too. But I guess I run out of time with only 4 days in Vegas...

yes, I would sell only two, if that's all you need.

And, don't bother with a limo. I'll tell you where to park and the route to take, so you can be back on the strip within 30 minutes after the checkered flag Smile

Strippers in Vegas are way overrated.

Flying in Friday morning, hotel is booked, a really good guy hooked me up with some sweet SX tickets and the rest of the time in Vegas until Tuesday is pretty much all about having fun.

Still not sure if I will wear my german Fro-Daddy (mostly because it will be pretty warm for a cold-weather german dude and my big wig is pretty warm too) , but can't wait to be at the races and in the pits all Saturday long!
