I had heard there was a package deal, but when I checked the MGM Grand website all I saw was a special for booking rooms for the festival, nothing about a package deal. Maybe you have to call the hotel. But I just came back from one week vacation in NY, and have travel plans for October and November. So there is no way I can afford Las Vegas. Bad fan!

OMG!!!!!!! Bill Werde, from Billboard answers our Vevo questions!! instinctmagazine.com/post/billboard-calls-out-lady-gagas-request-fans-move-applause-chartsMultiple views from one person, from one computer DO count!! They try to catch playlists! So it sounds like if you are refreshing and playing the video, it counts. If it is on a playlist, it will count unless they catch it! Gaga was trying to do a playlist with 150 plays on it though. Not sure they'd catch a playlist with only 10-20 plays on it! All he says is that multiple plays from one computer count. Of course they do, 1 billion unique computers have not watch the Bieber video. And you proved that they will count more than one an hour, at least at the low levels. The question is "how many count?" Google has given access to their secret (and constantly changing) formula to only a few people. There is a difference between playlist plays, and a playlist of one song 150 times. Gaga gamed the Billboard album chart with her Amazon free album stunt. Now she is trying to do it again. They really need to do something or the chart will not have any integrity. |

I just called the Hilton where I have a reservation. They do not have a package deal but the concierge was super helpful re advice on seating. He did mention that the last week before there would be tickets available again on Ticket Master but I don't want to take a chance - and flights would be full. So I'm back to StubHub and playing a waiting game for dropping prices vs. my max spend! |

I cannot tell you how many times I have watched the "Let's Dance" video!! It's getting up there with WWTLF from London with Queen. My favourite part, other than the spontaneous dancing around the mic stand is where he declares .. my love for you.. to Nile, and Nile bows in gratitude.  |

I believe the package deal is at the MGM hotels (Bellagio, New York, New York, etc).
Also if you have Hyatt Platinum status (maybe Gold too), you can now tie that to your MLife card (for MGM resorts). I don't know, but this "may" help you get better rates, better deal.

I think you have to ask the hotel...she reeled off a few names but the only one I remember for certain was the MGMGrand and them, the Excaliber....and the price, $420. which is a better price than I saw on Stub hub the last time I went looking. There are a half a dozen hotels involved tho..... |

This reminds me of when my family and I were on holiday in San Francisco a few weeks ago... We hadn't booked to go to Alcatraz and when we finally tried to, on our first evening there, there were no tickets available on line at all. Every site said 'sold out'. We asked for advice from the concierge in our hotel and she immediately produced tickets. She explained that most hotels are given packages of tickets for major events or attractions. Perhaps everyone knows this - but we didn't! So perhaps this is the same kind of thing with iheart tickets. ETA: and thanks Q3 for advice on Adobe Flash player - have loaded latest but page 6 still hates me and shuts me down completely. I think the answer is just not to go there again...sometimes you have to take the hint |
