Arriving June 14 and staying 5 nights at Excalibur. 
 

Edit; haven’t bought match tickets either. Are we getting a section?

They are working on that now.

If somebody wanted to hypothetically make this trip, all things inclusive, roughly how much $ do I need? Don't care about fancy accommodations just want a clean average hotel.

Flights: depends on where you are based, but from YYZ looks like $500USD

Hotels: Luxor or Excalibur, after resort fee, goes for about $100/night x5 nights

Tickets: As cheap as $100 for both semi's/finals + TM fees = $150

Food: if you're willing to walk and find cheap food deals, $50/day = $200

Transport: uber to/from airport + local/monorail = $100

So ... $1450? Give or take a few hundred.

I'm only going for the final with a one nigh stay at the Excalibur (a medieval themed hotel and casino that has seen better days but is right on the strip and a 20 minute walk to the stadium). I got a fight and hotel package  from Toronto on Expedia for under $600 CAD.

It's confirmed the Canada semi will be first.

 

 

What sucks is a stadium that fills up after 75 minutes.

I’m pretty sure we could sell 600.  I’m fairly sure we could sell 1,000.  How many we get???

You would certainly sell some to me! For sure my son and I are going. Is there any idea where we're going to try to get a section? The cheap nosebleeds or maybe a bit better seats? The front sections of the upper deck, except for the three sections on the centreline on each side, are only $50-65 for June 15 and $70-80 for June 18. For two matches each day I'd be totally down for paying that.

Where do you live, if you live in Toronto, Windsor or Vancouver, get a flight from Buffalo, Detroit or Seattle, they normally have very cheap flights to Vegas.

Vegas has a ton of hotels, if you don't care where you stay, it can get as low as $25/night.

I plan on driving in from Los Angeles, and I'm going to use my player rewards to get a free room. 😎

Given your username I somehow thought you would be taking public transit or maybe driving an 18-wheeler truck from the L.A. area.

I watched Panama v Costa Rica this morning and Panama was clearly the better team. We better not take them lightly.

To be honest, I think they’ve played us as well as anyone in WCQ. Beat us at their place, and outplayed us for long stretches in Toronto. Once Davies scored, the flood gates opened for us, but they held possession a lot and looked the better team early. I don’t think it will be an easy game, although we’re clearly the more talented team overall.

Vegas in June is awful but it also means its cheap so...

Would this be because of weather? Curious because I was thinking of going. Been to Vegas a few times but never in June.

Hamilton too. Just got a direct round trip for $228 (before fees and taxes).

Do we know if there will be a supporters section at Allegiant? Looking to be in Vegas for the game and wanted to get as close to fellow supporters as possible.

@Admin & @JamboAl are working on it with the CSA.

Nothing has been announced yet.

Yes it'll be pretty hot...between 100-107 on avg in Vegas...add in all that concrete on the strip and it'll feel like 110-115 its seems to always be 5-10 degrees hotter on the strip

Side, not stayed at Excalibur once and it definitely has seen better days....I usually prefer NYNY or Monte Carlo for a decent hotel thats still budget friendly...

[narduch]

Don't worry it's a dry heat

[rhadan]

Am I wrong in thinking these 2 games were going to be a big deal? Gold cup final sold out in a day, and yet both the games in Vegas have barely sold any tickets? Wait till closer to June and get discounted tickets/ Give a ways at this point? lol

 

 

[xcalibre]

Also keeping an eye on a section, even if we just all have to attempt to buy together. Although I imagine there's a ticket rep somewhere we can reach out to if someone hasn't already done so.

For Vancouverites, Seattle-Vegas is showing at Expedia at $256 to arrive a day before the semi and leave the day after the final. Hope this link works. Cheaper if you play around with the dates and have time to spare either side
 

Also considering taking a full day and doing the 20-ish hour drive in June weather

On a soccer note, they should be able to handle Panama easily, but I'm curious how this will go since it's a neutral site match.

Gold Cup Final Sold Out in a day!?  (sorry, slightly off topic)

I'm seeing plenty of blue dots in the upper levels for that game. Maybe they opened those levels after selling out the lower ones? The lower levels are basically a seas of pink dots.  Looks to me like the tickets were bought by scalpers, not soccer fans.  I guess we should be concerned the same could happen with Nations League final if we wait.  Hoping to see an update soon on a block of Canada tickets. (there, back on topic!)

Deleting because things have changed.

For people asking about how big these games should be, looks like the previous final in 2021 had attendance of 37k in a stadium that can fit 76k for American Football. I thought I was remembering it being pretty full, but maybe they kept it in the lower bowl or something? Semi finals was 34k.

[dyslexic nam]

False alarm. 
 

 

[Canuckia]

Soooooooo, I have a ticket in Section 142 if anyone wants to buy it.

[Canuckia]

Sitting right at the back near the aisle expecting to be surrounded by Vs and then... false alarm. Surrounded by Muricans, LOL
