For those that have been to the shows is the merchandise store open all day or only around show time? I would like to buy a shirt and wear it to the show if possible but I wanted to know if they are open early enough to do that? Thanks The store outside the venue is not open all day, but opens about 6 pm I think. The clerk did tell me that you could ask at the other shop if they would open it special if you want to buy something and they are closed though - I didn't try it though.

Lorraine....Thanks so much for your recap. I love all the details. So Primrose is pricey and the steak house was good. I never drink Whiskey Sours....but I might try one...lol. I'm so glad Sophie B was able to help you with your Row D seat. I'll be sitting in that same place on the 19th....looks like Adam comes over to that jutout several times, including first thing and during TSMGO and several other times. You were about as close as you can get there. The Primrose was much cheaper than Bavette! Salmon was $29 at Primrose and $39 at Bavette. Primrose was decent for breakfast but the dinner had 4 entrees to choose from. I got the salmon for $29 that came with a couple baby veggies. Checked the Bavette menu for the next night and steaks were over $50 with some around $80, so we cancelled our reservation. Instead we made dinner out of the VIP reception - there was plenty to eat there. The VIP reception also had a "Killer Queen" cocktail which was actually a whiskey sour and it was delicious. Those are the only 2 restaurants in Park MGM right now, but Aria is 10 minutes walk inside a connected hallway and they have tons of restaurants - we're going there Saturday.

Now I don't know if I want the Killer Queen cocktail or the Bohemian Raspberrie one that Karen posted....lol. You said one drink was included, right? lol Food prices are ridiculously high. Maybe we can find some more reasonably priced ones over at Aria. I'm sure bottled water is ridiculous as well.

Maybe we can find some more reasonably priced ones over at Aria. I'm sure bottled water is ridiculous as well. Yeah 1 drink included. The one Karen had was at an outside bar I believe. They only offered the Killer Queen (a whiskey sour) or the Bohemian Rhapsody (I think) that was prosecco and cranberry or raspberry or something. They had beer and wine - not even sure if there were other mixed drinks. All prices were higher than anywhere else. Even the Starbucks in the hotel charged me almost $5 for a plain cup of coffee (grande) - which is maybe $2.25 anywhere else. We are going to Lemongrass Saturday which is the thai restaurant inside Aria, the menu looked reasonable - entrees for $20 or so. ETA: 1 medium bottle of Fiji water in the theater was $7 (they called it a large but it wasn't) - and they take the top (pack a fiji water top if you like to have a top) - there are cup holders on the floor seats which was nice though - of course I abandoned my seat for the railing and never went back to get my water as I didn't want to lose my prime spot lol!

Those are the only 2 restaurants in Park MGM right now, but Aria is 10 minutes walk inside a connected hallway and they have tons of restaurants - we're going there Saturday. I had Salmon at 3 different restaurants the last 3 nights, all outside of the Park MGM but just across the street, and all cheaper than the 2 restaurants in the Park MGM. HardRock Cafe - Salmon was best of the 3 places, cooked to perfection with a Bar-B-Q sauce glaze. Served with broccoli & mashed potatoes. $25 California Pizza Kitchen - Salmon was 2nd best, cooked on cedar plank with slight seasoning. Served with a roasted corn & spinach succotash topped with feta cheese - absolutely delicious! $25.50 Outback - Salmon not as good as the other 2 places, a bit drier. Served with broccoli, I added a cheese topping to broccoli for an extra $1. Brown bread was good. $23

I would like to buy a shirt and wear it to the show if possible but I wanted to know if they are open early enough to do that? Thanks There were merchandise tables on each of the 3 levels, they were open when the doors opened, but we barely had time to purchase before the show. There is also a regular retail store just outside the venue (to the left of the entrance doors to the theater) that had Queen merchandise (as well as some others) and it was open after the show, but I didn't notice if it was open before the show. Maybe someone else can check that out before the next show and post here what they find out. Officially the merchandise store outside of the venue in the casino opens at 4:30 on show days. However, it was open even earlier than that on Wed, about 2 pm. There was no crowd at that time. However, they do not have all of the t-shirts that the merchandise counters have in the theater. In particular, they do not have the t-shirt with Adam's picture on front. There are merchandise counters on both the 1st and 2nd floors in the theater (I did not go to the 3rd floor, so can't say what's there). The 1st floor one is bigger.
