All of that information is in numerous threads here. Why not take the time and -- yes, make the effort -- to read them, rather than insist that other people summarize them and do you work for you? mad

Lucky!!

I went in late February. It was a really killer show. We started out making reservations at the 3121 Restaurant. It was very high end and in many ways very Princey smile. You'll see it for yourself. The meal was very pricey. Went with this 7 course meal that highlighted various parts of the menu and "allegedly" featured some of Prince's favourite dishes. Also came with a different glass of wine to complement each course. This goes for $175.00, but you can also go for the meal without the wine for $125.00.

In either case, it was a cool experience.

Then we went into the show, getting the tickets was easy, and we worked our way up near the front. I recommend getting there early for a good place to stand. It does get pretty packed pretty quick and then it may be hard to get a good view, especially if you're short.

The show started at about 12:30 or 1:00ish, if not later. The pump-up music was really good before the show started and the atmosphere was very fun. The show was also fantastic.

My only beef was the show was quite short. It ran only about an hour and a half, and of that, 3 or 4 songs, a good 30 minutes or more of the show, did not even have Prince on stage at all! So we really only got about an hour of Prince performance for the price of the ticket. I heard reviews that said he was playing for 2 - 3 or more hours, and then jamming in his restaurant afterward, so it was a little disappointing in that respect, but otherwise, great show.

There'a treasure trove of information here at everyone's fingertips. I've got no problem with someone coming on and saying they've researched the forum, but have a few unanswered questions. I'll cheerfully reward such a soul with a little help. But, it's the absolute lack of effort, the utter laziness that galls me.

Someone has to be the self-appointed curmudgeon who discourages such behavior and promotes self-reliance. Dad-gum-it, it's me. lol

Oops, I mean mad

or if there is an aftershow or not

the first review will probably be on housequake later today hopefully

First off, I did not insist upon anything!
(Did you notice the world PLEASE, but then why would you!)
You do have a right to "your" truth even though it isn't the "actual truth".
HOP OFF, go ride somebody else.

I'm so jealous that all of you can experience this AND I CAN'T mad

It makes me so sad... wallowing in my sorrow and self pity.
I feel nauseous...I'm so sorry but i kind of hate all of you lucky people a little bit right now.. the green monster is taking over.

I wish i could teleport myself..

How long will he be performing in Las Vegas?

Hope CJBabyDaddy doesn't get angry at me and tell me to find out the information myself.. confused

I agree with CJBabyDaddy. There is a plethora (look it up wink ) of information on this forum. Me thinks you just wanted to post somthing. Nothing wrong with that, but ask something that hasn't been asked before. Then you would not have incurred CJ's wrath! lol

Ive been there 4 times and from reading others reviews things always change. I think last weekend they pulled people from the back of the line to come in first to the concert, I would have been very angry had I been first in line waiting for hours to have them pull people from the back to go in first. I always got there at around 8 and was able to get a good spot on the front right hand corner of the stage. If you are short like me and get a spot further back from the stage you will not see a thing, at least I didnt. And getting there early will mean having to stand until after midnight when Prince comes out. So its just hard to say what will happen

But I hope you have a great time like I did, Enjoy!!!! biggrin
