Yes animaldoc, the Park Theater was Soooo much better than The Joint. Besides the physical and acoustical superiority of the Park Theater, the Park Theater was very cool with folks taking photos and videos as long as no flash was used (flashes disturb the performers and can be a safety issue). The Joint was very hard nosed and disruptive in trying to prevent folks from taking videos and in some cases photos. Also, the casino at the Park MGM was not near as smokey as at other LV casinos I have had to walk through. And the walk from my room through the casino to the theater was much shorter than at most of the other casino hotels. I would stay at the Park MGM again. I agree. The Park Hotel and casino was smaller than most casinos. Downside was lack of restaurants...but we found quite a few over at NY NY ...a very close by walk across the street from the Park Theater itself. All the construction made crossing the street very easy as every car would stop and let you cross w/o waiting at all. I'd def stay there again for the convenience to the concert. We opted for the Stay Well room mainly because of the Temperpedic memory foam mattresses....worth while. Also, this is the first hotel I've ever stayed in that has no front desk. You have to check in via kiosk. Wasn't sure I could handle it....but somehow managed with the help of a hotel staff member who was overwhelmed with questions from guests. They really need more helpers and there was never anybody at the help desk. But those are minor things. When I stayed at the MGM Grand for IHeart 2013....I had to walk miles thru big casinos to restaurants. It was big and sprawling.....had more to offer I suppose....but I preferred the Park Hotel because of it's smaller size and the Theater itself was fantastic. We sat on the floor all three nites and it was really easy access in and out. Kinda surprised at the number of toddlers and baby's in the casinos...just don't understand it. Of course I don't understand the Vegas appeal for a family vacation if you're not there for a specific event. I saw one child at each of my shows. At the last one a cute 8 year old boy with his dolled up mother or older sister who security let get up to the barricade on the side. Obviously they don't enforce the under 18 rule. And yes, their camera policy was very liberal. I stood next to Laurie TALC vids for the last show and her daughter,Alikat who took gorgeous pics on the barricade with a big camera with a big lense.

Another point about Brian is that he is an environmentalist. That is not an easy job. Years ago, my husband and I were involved in saving a natural area near our home -- trying to get the neighbourhood motivated and fighting City Hall definitely took its toll on my health. I really don't know how environmentalists keep at it year after year. I have a lot of respect for them after my one little venture. I noticed on Brian's instagram that he was trying to get people in England to a rally and it got very few likes compared to his QAL posts. That must be discouraging and now he might be feeling daunted by having to get back into that activist mode.
Also, for one who cares about the environment, Vegas must be an anathema. I try to keep a very small carbon footprint and my efforts seemed pretty futile when you think of the amount of power needed to keep Vegas running -- plus the water being used and the garbage being generated. I even felt badly being on an airplane burning up all that fuel and then I had to watch all those other planes coming and going. But that is the way the world operates right now and if I'm going to enjoy life, I have to suppress a lot of these thoughts. It is a contradiction in the brain and I wouldn't be surprised if Brian feels that too.
I don't want to be too much of a Debbie Downer here. I did enjoy my time in Vegas -- it was stimulating and over the top -- I just had to wrestle with my conscience a bit while I was there.
