The MGM Grand Las Vegas is a luxury hotel casino located on the infamous Las Vegas strip. Opening in 1993, it is the second largest hotel in the world. Acting as host to some of the biggest names in the boxing industry, it has seen fights from Mike Tyson Vs Evander Holyfield, Floyd Mayweather Vs Juan Manuel Marquez and Bernard Hopkins Vs Oscar de la Hoya. The most recent event coming from Miguel Cotto Vs Manny Pacquiao who put on an impressive show for all. Aswell as these major lightweight and heavyweight fights, another popular global event is the UFC.

People buzz about the strip getting ready for the action to take place, creating an electric, energized atmosphere. Bets can be placed at all major casinos along the strip on fight nights and if you haven’t managed to bag yourself some tickets, most of the casinos including the Bellagio and Caesars Palace offer tv rooms filled with hundreds of big screens where you can revel in the vibrant atmosphere and watch the fight amongst fellow boxing fanatics.

Your best bet of bagging tickets is to book them online the moment they are released. Tickets are extremely hard to come by as you can imagine, but if you do manage to get your hands on some, you’ll be living it up in Vegas and rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous who have the best tickets in the house…ringside!

Aswell as tickets being hard to come by, hotels can bring the same problem. With thousands upon thousands of people gathering for the same massive event, hotels get booked up very quickly so make sure you book your hotel at the soonest convenience, otherwise you could be stuck out in the sticks in a hotel nobody wants to stay in! The MGM Grand, Caesars Palace and the Bellagio are amongst the most popular and will prove the most difficult to come by, so get in there fast.

Once you’ve booked your fight night tickets and your chosen property, it’s time to book the all important flights. As everything gets booked up thick and fast, so do the flights, so you must ensure you get searching for your flights, ASAP. Whether you book flights and accommodation separately or package holidays to Las Vegas, the price will be higher than usual but you get what you pay for…a once in a lifetime holiday in which you’ll see one of the most fascinating sporting events of your life. You’ll be the envy of all your friends and will have a tale to tell to all when you return home from your exciting jaunt.
