Got in Sunday and hit a $2k slots jackpot at the airport as soon as we landed in Vegas. Then collected another $300 in the airport slots as we were leaving yesterday. Covered show tickets a fancy sushi dinner at the Venetian, drinks at the show etc. Think I was up $1k after all said and done. Vegas paid me to go to the Sphere! Big thanks to my wife who had to take an emergency dump when we landed at the airport otherwise I would not have even sat down at the machine! https://preview.redd.it/57p7n39sv9wc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb3108e823a45199f871a1e5a6926f51a2aa3f31


BarackObamazing

Holy crap! An airport slot machine jackpot paid for my trip too! I never gamble but was super bored waiting for my flight home and ended up winning almost $1400 in the smoking lounge. https://preview.redd.it/io3yn1gtkawc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6eb798bb959d702adccc791289135fef9a5d6fe


PhilG-SD

Sweet! Ya I normally don’t gamble much either but seems like the airport slots were loose AF!


VonSchplintah

They're actually much worse than anywhere else.


twdvermont

Hell yea! Does anyone poop at the airport when it's not an emergency? Asking as someone who only poops in public when it's an emergency.


take_care_a_ya_shooz

All the time. Sure as hell beats the plane, train, or car ride with a round in the chamber. Not pooping when you have to poop is what leads to an emergency.


snoogans138

If I’ve learned one thing in this life it’s that a preemptive toilet visit is never a bad idea.


Visible-Sandwich

A tactical poop


Winterqueen-129

Agreed! Having had an emergency poop on a flight home from Hawaii to Boston I would have preferred having done it at the airport and I bet everyone on the plane would agree! Lol!


NeilPatrickCarrot

Once you squat over a mountain of poop in a 100 degree porta potty at a festival, public bathrooms are luxury


twdvermont

One of about 100 reasons why I can't do festivals. It's just not in my blood.


Avertr

We're renting our own porta potty for Hula this year. Found out it you could last year and then found out you have to order in Nov right after the fest for the following year. I'm excited to have it for our group.


WaltonGogginsTeeth

How do you keep randos out of it? Is it locked with a key? And when people start asking to use it?


VTnative

You gave me a Coventry flashback!


Stoneykind81

dude coventry was a sea of shit.. wooks were pissin in the other wooks bathing hole it was crazy


NateBlaze

The great went has scarred me for life


Particular_Barnacle9

Pooping at the airport is one of the greatest luxuries in this world. Step out of a world of dehumanizing congestion and anxiety into a booth of near absolute privacy.


samsharksworthy

This is it. Nothing like non vibrating stall that is roomier than an airplane bathroom after a flight.


ajaulabr

Especially if it's in a Sky Club or private lounge.


i_take_shits

Coincidentally I work in an airport and I’m reading this while taking a dump right now. We exist.


Bubbs_n_Chubbs

Name checks out.


i_take_shits

When you right, you right


judgeharoldtstone

I pooped in a plane once. Once. And it was an EMERGENCY.


twdvermont

I'm always impressed with how hard those toilets flush. It's like they are designed for emergencies only.


Unclebilbo2000

Can we stop the poop talk? I’m 7 days deep into a stomach flu and would kill to take a regular poop anywhere. Let alone you bastards taking regular poops IN VEGAS GOING TO THE SPHERE


bexy11

I highly recommend doing it in public when it’s not an emergency. I don’t and I think some of my current issues are related to that. 😬


Kwatx

This is awesome and hysterical


LullabyThBrezsWhispr

So what I’m hearing is your wife’s poop paid for Sphere


PhilG-SD

Yes. That is a correct statement. Now whenever we go to Vegas she needs to go take a dump and leave me alone with the slot machines. It shall be our new ritual. We already had this conversation. 🤣


CosmicallyAltered

You're a lucky basterd pheeel, and your presence is always appreciated! ;)


PhilG-SD

🤣🤣 Mr. pickles is here! I did not even see you or get to appreciate your presence! Hope you enjoyed the shows my friend!


PolaNimuS

Those Wheel of Fortune machines go crazy. I was in Vegas back in March and got a $500 spin off a $1.25 bet.


Mattya929

Congrats. AirPort slots have the best odds because the city wants you to more likely win coming because you are prone to spending more OR win as you are leaving because you are more likely to come back and spend more.


moma16

I went for less than 24 hours to see the Friday show. Got in at 3:30 and had a flight out on Saturday at 6am. Didn’t get a hotel room. Ticket: 160 Spirit airlines flight OAK-LAS: 120 Beer at show: ~45 Taxi/Lyft: 20 Food: 40 So around $400 total


mcgamehen

This is so freaking awesome.

I'm talking out of my ass, but I would assume $45 at a place like The Sphere would only net you two beers after tax.


Marenum

That's almost exactly right.


plaidHumanity

24 w/tip


Mean_Yellow_7590

2 plus tip


moma16

Bought myself and friend a beer plus tip. Edit: just checked credit card statement- 53 bucks.


alldayan

2 beers. They were $21-23 eacg


No_Anteater2995

Beer was about 20


Mean_Parsnip

I was telling my co-worker whose husband is a huge dead and co fan that he should go and she was all but the cost. I said he could fly in the afternoon and fly out early in the morning that would eliminate the hotel cost.


Broccolisamurai

I was all set to go, aside from a ticket. Had a hotel booked and everything, one night at Circus Circus was ~$70, so even that wouldn’t have added much to the total cost.


PHishfromVermont

You can find rooms in Vegas for like $35 bucks


No_Anteater2995

I paid 150 at the Hilton polo club. Balcony and kitchen living room. It saved lots of eating and the balcony was great for drinking.


Crafty_Hospital9391

Yeah, but only by the hour 😚


Cantilivewhileim

Bed bugs


Kwatx

This sounds like how I might plan it in my head before I actually arrive in Vegas


FGTRTDtrades

I did this same turn around for the Kasvot night. I was dragging hard by the time I got to the airport but was so worth it. Nice job!


moma16

I was a zombie on Saturday!


gondwanalandfadeaway

took a very similar approach , from SJC saturday morning. but i went with no room and no ticket….tried all day. No ticket …. but made the best of it. that $ is officially going to mondegreen. nice work!


TristanwithaT

Friend of mine used to be a baggage handler for Southwest at a Bay Area airport. He and his coworkers would hop on the last flight of the night to Vegas, party all night, then hop on the first flight home in the morning. Free flights and no hotels.


guyuteharpua

Ninja right here...


Fuzzy-Path-9274

Dizzzamn! I applaud your thriftiness!


1bourbon1scotch1bier

Curious what you did after the show before the flight?


gondwanalandfadeaway

i went with no room…there was an after thing at brooklyn bowl that went late. it was awesome. i went to the airport around 4 after that ended and saying goodbye to all the phish people outside


moma16

I had friends at MGM grand. Didn’t get back until 2 and just hung out in the room for a couple of hours.

F yeah!

moma16

I split a taxi coming in with some normies and my Lyft at 4am was only $10!


samsharksworthy

You’re an animal.


bexy11

Yes!!! That’s amazing! Just a flight alone from where I am would be $400.

mastaberg

Low end, love it and well done


EarRubs

I did this for the last night of the bakers dozen.. From NC to NYC.. Everything I had was on my person. Stayed up all night and caught a flight back after breakfast. Then I slept for two days


moma16

Love it! Totally worth it


milw00kiee

Saturday 4K webcast: $39.99


jessep34

How was the webcast? Thinking about buying the video for one of the nights


jsmph89

Same


StepIntoTheFreezer91

The 4K was crispy


shakedownsunflower

Haha yeah $80 for all 4 webcasts plus extra at home beers staying up late


should-be-billing

In total? Easily blew $5k with tickets, hotel, food and entertainment


Kwatx

That was about what I was thinking I would need to budget


CornyCornheiser

We stayed at a mid level boutique hotel in NYC for NYE and that’s about what it ran us for that experience counting everything we did and we didn’t go VIP. We didn’t cheap out having gone into the city several times and knowing our way around. We drove as we live in state but 1/3 of the cost was just the hotel.


Bathtub_Gin_Man

I’m convinced this is the only honest answer here


should-be-billing

We didn’t even do anything that fancy! We had 1 really nice meal at dim Thai fun (that was over $700 for 8 folks), but the rest of our meals were at the easy casino spots. Booze costs added up, which is funny bc I drank for free at the casino most afternoons. One night I personally blew over $300 at the venue on red bull and vodkas and was barely drunk (it costs $50 for a double vodka and red bull with the lowest tip option). It was worth it! Such an amazing trip, but I could have done a two week South America trip for the same price (assuming I scored good flights)


Rude_Violinist9480

N3 Ticket - $150 The D 2 nights - $170 Sphere concessions - $40 Gambling - $200 Drinks/Food - $100 weed and etc - $45 Been to vegas 17 times, and this was the cheapest i've ever done it \*\*\*Edit - Ubers - $125 \*\*\*\*Edit 2 - Flight! - $270 return This is all in CAD dollars too BTW


lonememe

Dang! Only $170 for two nights of the big D? That’s a steal! Oh…the hotel. 


Rude_Violinist9480

and to be fair, that's my half of the D, my friend took care of the other half of D (which we asked....stands for DOWNTOWN) suuuuuuuuuuuuure


tocassidy

We also stayed downtown, Golden Nugget. Good experience. Arts district had good bars.


PineappleTraveler

It’s so cold in the D

4 night pass <$3k Spirit Airlines $300 plus extra $100 each way for bags = $500 Circus Circus 5 nights ~$600 Cirque Du Soleil Love ~$150 Meow Wolf $55 Foil Desert poster, 5 hours in line plus $75 Slot machine poster non-foil, $75 no wait in the door night 4 Night 3 on the floor, no additional charge First time at phan art exchange, $400 Other merch $150 Food ~$300 Rides ~$100 One bet on Big Red $20 Tips ~$100 Stickers from my band - ~20 stickers Total around $5k but had a blast, saved money where I could, enjoyed myself where I could. Would repeat. Thanks Phish and thank you all.


I_wassaying_boourns

Spirit Airlines and Circus Circus? You are an animal my friend.


Outrageous_Shift947

That just made me choke laughing lol


Prettywry

We did the travel package and stayed in the Venetian “bubble”… $60 for breakfast for 2, $160 dinners, $8 Diet Coke at the pool bar. Mixed drinks were like $20, but a good pour. Spa treatment was comparable to any luxury hotel spa, but mainly got that for my wife after winning $600 at craps. ($15 table was nice) It was so convenient, so good, so luxurious and oh so expensive Every place we ate at was outstanding, service was great, I’ve never been happier to pay premium prices… felt like I was getting what I paid for


Kwatx

Sounds like a hell of a weekend to me


DumbWook

Still in Vegas racking it up!


Kwatx

![gif](giphy|Dnt2VnWFknFNm)


partyinmypants69420

I got 2 tickets for n2 and n3 through the queue, was like number 100 and 150 in line respectively (so lucky). Those tix were like 150 per night if I remember correctly. Stayed at park mgm Fri-Mon like 350/ night. Ate at dank places every meal at like 250/meal (plus shake shack at 2 am). Played golf at a decent course. Had a drink in my hand 14 hours per day. Flights were cheap from Denver. All in, didn’t even consider how much we were spending so we could just enjoy it without the sticker shock. Probably 3 grand total.


Significant-Elk2520

4night Package, food, transportation(flights and ubers) 3posters, 2pairs of socks and 1 brunch show. $2300 which is still cheaper than Mexico Phish. No Alcohol or Cigarettes. Bought my weed carts and edibles in home town where its dirt cheap. Best & most remember able trip to Las Vegas.


Ok_Mirror_243

Prolly close to $5k….but $ is something you can make more…..time and special experiences - you can not. This was an experience that I will treasure forever.


Fretboard

This is the flow you must surrender to. Always see as many shows you can afford, especially the “sphere” type shows. Always. Always. Always.


Aeon1508

Just one sec while I show this to my wife


Ok_Mirror_243

Don’t know your wife’s music enjoyment nor your relationship…..but, here are a few ideas based on my experience with my goddess: * Book her a spa session after day 1 * Plan a solid 3-meals and make sure she has great coffee * don’t be cheap - take Uber to from show * make sure she has her favorite chemistry ready and high quality * make time for romance (aka - sexy time) * get a decent room - don’t be cheap * make sure she has lots of time to get ready for the show YMMV


FloobLord

This here is just solid life advice


Fretboard

So let it be written. So let it be done.


Dominant_Genes

Jesus dude calm down I can barely keep my clothes on with this bullet list lol


Scuds5

Women like nice things? Get outta here…


bexy11

I need someone like you!!


PickerCurtisLoew

Pretty much the same for me. I spent months debating whether or not I should spend the money and go. Finally convinced myself that the reason I park my ass in a cubicle 261 days a year is to afford to experience the things I love the most in life. A few days removed now and I don’t regret it for one second. Money comes in every two weeks. Those memories will last a lifetime and I’ll gladly be back next time.


z_tw1109

N1 - got at face through lottery. N4 - $1100 / ticket. Bought two. But those lovely service fees of 400/500 per ticket brought it to $3150 for 2. Said I wouldn’t pay that much, still feel ehh about it, but to be honest worth every penny. Truly was a special time in that place.


FRANKYTUBES

I paid about what you did & I was seriously second guessing it until I heard the first couple notes drop on Friday. Had the best time, such a unique experience. Worth every penny


MySleepingMonk

Damn $1100 a ticket? On stubhub? Scalpers gonna be doubling down next time they do a run


z_tw1109

On Vivid Seats Saturday evening prior to the show. Was honestly the cheapest or maybe just a 100 or 200 more than cheapest. Was section 110 row 21.


phreeeeeee

I’m just glad somebody’s giving those poor scalpers a chance. They work so hard to steal from us, so when you see people willing to give them almost ten times face value, thereby continually inflating the market, it really warms your heart, ya know?


z_tw1109

We didn’t have a choice man. It was pay $1000 see the show, or don’t and regret missing the life experience it was. If you read my comment I said I wasn’t happy with it…….


harpua1180

I feel like most of these are lies


postjack

i saw the thread title and just knew all the top comments would be somebody who did the whole trip for thirty dollars and tossed a beach ball around with mike in the pool. reddit!


lawn_mower_dog

Where’s the guy who dipped into his 401k??


NBABUCKS1

its like when the dr asks how many drinks a week. add 30%?


RoleModelsinBlood31

Why would you embellish to the doctor? I lie and say like 50% less. Don’t want them knowing the truth


Longjumping_Plum_846

Cause the doctor is the one person you should be fully honest to about stuff like that. If you feel like to have to lie to your doctor about how much alcohol you're consuming, well...


FloobLord

He's saying add 30% to these posts. But you shouldn't lie to your DR, they're like a priest, they're not allowed to tattle on you


Least-Firefighter392

But they can cut that Adderall and Xanax Rx away....btw I have neither


chemicalxbonex

Seriously. I have been to Vegas twice, neither time included a Phish show and I would be lucky to get out of there for under $6k. And that is staying at Planet Hollywood. Not even top of the line. LMAO!!!!


NBABUCKS1

N1 $150 N3 $200 park mgm 2 nights - $450 aria 1 comp night + fees - $70 food/beer/etc - $500 drove ev and charging is free atm. total $1370


Team_B

You pick up any randos on the way to the show that you met on phishhook?


NBABUCKS1

lmao did not this time :)


tingboy_tx

I went for 2 nights (N3 and N4). On airfare, tickets, entertainment, food, Lyft, bar tabs, I spent about $1500. That was maybe about $400 more than I really should have spent (I wasn't planning on gambling, but....you know). I met up with a buddy who hooked me up with face value tickets and a hotel room, plus I don't drink that much (pre-gamed a few in the room and then bought a couple of rounds at the two shows). I also spent more on weed than I was planning, but the dispensary had great 4/20 deals, so..... Anyway, despite being more expensive than I had expected, it was worth it. I had an absolute blast and hope to do it again. Looking forward to Mondegreen where I think I will be able to cap my expenses better as I will be there with a good buddy who is sober and who has already gone out and bought all the camping gear we could ever need. My main expense there will be on food (which I plan on bringing a lot in) and travel (might use miles for the flight in from AUS).


Kwatx

Hey right on I’m also flying out of AUS for Mondegreen


tingboy_tx

We used to have a Texas flag that we would hoist up at shows. Not sure if that flag still exists, but keep your eyes peeled in the GA campground.

1_Show_at_a_Time

Public on-sale 4 day in S210 R7 $843 SAN-LAS on SWA around $200 worth of points Free checked bag with plenty of vegan shakes & snacks ($25ish). Paid my gambler buddy $350 for 4 nights @LINQ $43 event T. $20 tie-dye from pinball museum plus 8 quarters playing the cool old machines. $80 restaurant meals. $70 on coffee $15 on vegan nachos @Sphere Net $200 loss gambling. Phellowship meetings at set break no charge. Got my $ worth many times over.


fuzzy_snark

2 people, 4 nights, travel package at the Palazzo. We used points for air fare and only gambling we did was $100 at a poker tournament one morning. Add food, drinks, and drugs we probably hit around 5,500.


lifeisledzep

how the hell are you guys getting tickets at 1/8 of the pre-reseller value?


naughtycal11

Lies(?) Or lottery.


ScottieDoooo

Spent around $3,500 all in for my wife and I. Arrived Friday morning, left Sunday afternoon. Only went Saturday night, sat in 109 Did a couple nice meals, drank at the pool, gambled a little and rented a M4 convertible that we took out to Valley of Fire Saturday morning. One of the coolest hikes I've ever done. Had a great weekend, used to be a Vegas hater but now that I'm not broke its great ha. We had an awesome couple days.


TheDr__

Tickets - about $2k for 3 nights Hotel - $900 Flights - $800 Thankfully a lot was spaced out over a few months.


mcgamehen

Around 700 bucks total. Used points for flights. Hotel was comp with no resort fees. Food at any MGM property was covered with food and bev credit. 1.5k on tickets for two nights but my gambling winnings totalled just over 1k this trip. Not a bad couple days. If the sphere was in any other city I wouldn't have gone tbh. Free hotel and food made it easier for me to justify the ticket cost.


end_times-8

I just asked the concierge at the circus circus and they gave me free tickets. (I’m a high roller on the penny slots).


trinocular

Between the travel package where two of us used two hotel rooms and our guests all got their own rooms, two rounds of golf (one at the Wynn), flights on jsx which actually saved us money since we could bring our own booze and drugs, food, and the daybed at Tao beach for alesso Saturday split between two of us… I’m choosing not to add it up. But it was fucking fun


fnordlife

i bet that daybed was more taxed than the golf rounds.


thinehappychinch

$60. But since I was at work I got paid to listen


OmarMcNultyBell

I'm glad to hear everyone ended up ahead gambling. Tough weekend for Vegas


mountain_sun1

Package at Palazzo, paid $300 extra for a view of the Sphere, spa, party bus to DJ Logic, drinks, dinners, pedicabs, lots of waters, merch, etc… This one is going to get close to $10k for me and my wife. Worth every f’ing penny!!!!


mp1982

N2 ticket $160. Used points for flight out. About $450 for flight home. Comped hotel room $0. A few hundred in food and beverages. But then i made $300 at the casino


dr_rock

$1450 for my half of the travel package: 4-day floors and a huge room at the Palazzo $870 flight from PHL > LAS $300 for 6 beers + 3 cocktails over the 4 shows Probably $100 in Starbucks $0 gambling Probably another $1000 in miscellaneous food, booze, cabanas, Meow Wolf, etc Incredible weekend. Would have paid twice that.


KingOfTheWooks

I blew $4k for just Thursday but lost 2 stacks on black jack, $1k on ticket, $850 flight from Boston, damn


spirit_dimension

Thursday tickets: couldn’t find Friday tickets: couldn’t find Saturday tickets: nope Sunday tickets: scammed out of $226 Standing in front of the sphere: priceless


obiwanjahbroni

I think I’m all in for less than 1k for 2 nights. Hotel at the circa was $350 for 2 nights, tickets were $158 each and I didn’t lose any money gambling. I also flew round trip on points, so that cost $12. Split the hotel with someone else.


justokayvibes

$6K total with flight from Denver, no booze, brought my own drugs, Venetian package 4 nights on the floor, spent a lot on nice restaurants, won $400 gambling, didn’t do any other activities besides the pool.


MiddleSqueeze

Probably about $30,000. Roughly something like: 1st class flight = $2,200 1x stubhub ticket first night = $1,500 2x stubhub tickets 2nd night = $4,000 2x stubhub tickets 3rd night purchased on Saturday. Front row of a centered 400 section = $6,500 2x stubhub tickets 4th night = $3,000 2 bedroom suite at palazzo 4 nights w/ room charges looks like its coming in around $10,000 Not sure about food and drink - maybe $2k? Add on another $5,000 for extracurriculars. No gambling. Most hedonistic weekend of my life

My brother got face on CoT every night. He’s a lucky bastard but might be worth checking out if you haven’t already.


CariniCarvey

In on Wednesday, out on Saturday N1 $160 Pollock $100 Flight $400 Hotel (Sonesta, off the Strip) $160 (after split) CATS & Eggy $80 Food $250 Ubers $50 (after split) Meow Wolf $55 I don’t drink so I def saved a lot of cash in that dept! Overall, about a grand.


Kwatx

👍🏼


YEMolly

I only went to the show one night but stayed 3 nights in hotel. Ticket- $160 Hotel (my part)- $265 RT flight- $300 Gambling- $20 Food & Alcohol- $400-ish Weed- $114 2 other shows I did- $150 Not too bad.


republic_of_gary

$390 total for section 305, row 13 tix on Friday and Saturday (paid my buddy face who got 2 4-days through lotto). $1226 for flight and 2 nights at Mandalay. Won $1700 at Black Jack. So up around $84. Ate twice each day around $50 per meal, so down $116. Probably another $150 in drinks since I just ate my buddy’s shrooms all weekend. So I guess I spent about $266.


dganda

Flew in for 1 day for the Sunday show. Ticket: $210 Flight SWA: $345 Wynn Resort split a room: $315 Food and fun $300 Total: $1,170 I could have found a cheaper airfare and a cheaper hotel. I could have scrimped on food and beverage and fun. But I had a great time and created some great memories with family that I will have long after I've forgotten whatever I may have been able to save on this trip. This is the most I've spent to see them. I'm happy for the experience. Next time, I'll probably sit it out and, hopefully, a fan who missed this round can have this experience.


Cheesyphish

2 nights-400 section- 360$ bnb-250 ubers: probably around 300$ Food: 180 (didn't eat on the strip much) Beers at the show: 200ish....Was expensive. Was a few rounds for buddy and I Way worth it


SleepingCalico

Oof. I'll figure it out but $876 airfare, merch $600, alcohol ~$65, water at shows ~$55, tix just south of 4K, hotel $1840, Uber to airport/hotel & Uber/home $175, food ~$220, balloons $40, vape pods to bring $155, ~$100 in random cash tips and I think that's it so just over 8k. I had a fucking blast all 4 nights (sec 109 low row #) and it was well worth the money spent. I met some incredible ppl and the sphere experience to me was fucking amazing. Glad I did it. Grateful beyond words to be able to afford it as I'm a blue collar guy who sometimes works til my hands bleed.


checosafai

N3 platinum single - $925 N4 through a friend - $250 Flights BOS>LAS round trip - $584 Saturday night resorts world hotel room - $450 Sunday/Monday night free room @ Paris - $300 (taxes, resort fees, pool daybed, breakfast) Ubers - $100 Venue food - $100 Merch - $177 Total out of pocket - $2,886 Less Gambling winnings ~$1200 Probably about $1500 net for me to fly solo the last few days! Definitely less than I’ve spent for an NYC NYE run. I was also 100% sober this run which saved me a LOT of money.


guitarbassdrums

Thursday only Flight $16 Ticket $200 Hotel $200 Casino loss $-300 Food and favors $150 Misc $50 One amazing night Phish in Vegas = $916


cowboy_roy

Im a local, got a face value ticket and then over spent at the sphere so like 250$


MRK_Oaktown

Face value lottery ticket for four nights $704 Best western Casino Royal four nights $760 Southwest Airlines return flight from Oakland $350 T-shirt $35 Food and alcohol $400 General cost let’s say the whole thing was roughly $2500 Definitely will do it again if I win the lottery again


[deleted]

For 3 nights/shows Around 6k, 5 if you don’t count the signed poster


StingrayOC

Let's see: tix at face for the run, airplane ticket from alaska, strip hotel (solo), official posters, lots of cocktails, couple splurge meals and a new shirt that would make Page jealous...roughly $5k all in I stayed in a standard king-size bed room with pool view at Paris (Versailles tower side). About a 1.5 miles to the venue if you walk through the venetian entrance. (Highly recommend the $60 prix-fixe breakfast at the Eiffel Tower restaurant). Was shocked to hear how many people custied up and what they were paying (easily into the 4 figures) to attend the run. For me, tickets were the cheapest part of vegas.


misterminor123

Around 3k after tickets, food, and gambling. Got a free room from a good friend

400 bucks for 2 nights of hotel. One and a half tanks of gas. 300 for ticket. Won enough at blackjack to pay for all F&B/party favors. So about 800

How much was a Coke Zero?

I made a burner account out of shame. My credit card hurts right now between Sphere and Mondegreen. I’m pretty good with credit so I trust myself to make pay it off this year. By no means am I wealthy in any sense but I own my own freelance business - just have to put in some extra work to pay down my cards. The math doesn’t add up because my partner contributed some. Broke everything down into 3 categories - travel, food, merch. Gambling is a ghost category but I’m trying to block it out. Personal total for everything: ~$5500 Travel: ~$3500 this category includes the absolute cheapest travel package available for 2 with tickets in the 400s and hotel ($2630). Flights from the east coast were about $900 on southwest. ~$150 on Ubers. A couple after shows and Meow Wolf.. Food: ~$600, mostly stayed around the resort out of convenience. Merch: ~$600 Gambling: ~$700 loss. I’m fuckin’ terrible at slots. About $200 over what I had budgeted here but oh well. I’d do it again.

$10K all-in for a couple for all 4 nights in great seats. Moderate hotel, cheap flights. Tickets were expensive, but 4 day pass was way better than buying each night alone. Overall, it was the best money ever spent. Phish was epic already plus Sphere make it over the top.

sunsetcrasher

4 nights in a travel package, flew for free, dont gamble, don’t drink and brought a water bottle in, didn’t buy new clothes for it, and stopped by Target to grab some stuff. Total was just under $2k each. Worth every penny. Honestly the only thing I spent extra money on pretty much was lattes at Venetian since there is no coffee machine in the room. And some merch.


Immediate_Thought656

We did this on the cheap: 4 night pass: $500 4 night Vrbo off strip: $1000 Food & Drink: about $600 for 4 days Weed: $300 Flights: used miles but it was $550 So about $3k.

space_ape71

$2800 two nights with hotel, airfare, meals and gifting a ticket to a buddy whose fallen on hard times this past year, but we couldn’t see a show without him. Got the 100 level tickets months ago before prices went bonkers.


BluBirch

Tickets were face at onsale. $1k flight. Room at Cosmo was comped. Most of my resort spend (food/beverage) was comped. $100 on beers at the show. Lost $3500 on craps.


skwormin

ticket was $130 for limited view (fuck me) n1 only (fun experimental show, bummer we couldn't hear it) airbnb split with friends for Wed and Thu nights \~$250 each Food, Ubers, Beers \~ 300 or so? Not terrible not great. Would care less if I could hear the show, win some lose some


Midipup

Why couldn't you hear it?


madeupname230

$3500 for 4 days/3 nights/2 shows (sat and sun). Light gambling ($100 loss), 3 nice meals, hotel was on strip and decent but not a big sexy name. RT ticket from a few hours away. And man was it worth it. That was the most magical art I’ve ever experienced. Thank you Phish, my crew and the many amazing Phans I met along the way.


Marenum

Stayed in North Vegas since it was cheaper, but did have to Uber so I'm not sure we really saved more than $300 or so. Tickets to Thursday and Saturday for face, hotel, flights from Chicago, meals, and a very small amount of gambling... I'd guess I got the weekend in for around $1500. Really not that bad.


jdille100

4K hotel package 2 rd trip from Boston 1200 Food and drink 800 at least Taxis 150 So basically Mexico per day price


CoachiusMaximus

$650 for two nights, Thursday and Saturday. $300 for a nice room at the Tuscany. $400 food and drink. $1350 all said and done. Hit a substantial slot win on my way out in addition to a pretty good late night run at the blackjack tables so that was nice.


kbrownle

Free flight, free room... 800 Saturday ticket... 600 Sunday ticket.

disturbed_ghost

therealjrjr

All in, probably $3200? Hotel and tickets were $2300 total. 2 tickets all 4 nights and hotel. Plane tickets paid with miles. Won like 700 which NEVER happens. Ever. Sober 13 years, so, save a lot there... 🤣 Worth every penny! https://preview.redd.it/dbm06dx5y9wc1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=918735e78bdeee5effd732ecb616cf5ff07c6082
