Re: Las Vegas On My Birthday!!!!
 

Haha, nice. I got a $24 room at Terrible's, a half block from the venue.

So, yes, I've got airlines and hotels booked for Honolulu -> Las Vegas -> Oakland -> Los Angeles -> Honolulu. Anyone else hitting all 3?

Re: Las Vegas On My Birthday!!!!

We did 4 in 4 days, 3 x 3 hour ones among them, one of them was the super Luxemburg one, hot and smokey

Re: Las Vegas On My Birthday!!!!
 

"what was it like in Lux?"
"hot and smokey"

Re: Las Vegas On My Birthday!!!!
 

Oh I wish I was young again, turning 33 in a couple of months:eek:!

But still, three shows in a row in three different cities over 600 miles apart each with the last gig being an 8 hour dance festival...

Re: Las Vegas On My Birthday!!!!

Re: Las Vegas On My Birthday!!!!

Just got my tickets, Hotel and Airline tickets.
Staying at the Hard Rock itself.
(Their All Access members can get upgraded for free if you reserve over the phone. Nice rooms from $49.00)

Underworld in Vegas.
Yeah Baby!

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

So, turns out The Joint is newly renovated and just opened last month. Between this and the Fox Theatre in Oakland having opened in February, it sounds like we're getting some killer venues for these shows.

I especially like the "state-of-the-art sound system" part of the new Joint.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Well, if they were still using mono speakers, i'd be worried.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

The hard rock hotel is also adding some new towers where one of them (paradise tower) should open up in early august. Made reservations already and I hope to land one of the new rooms when I'm there.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I saw them for the first time at the Hollywood Bowl 2 years ago. My son was born the next day. I made my wife promise to see them if they ever came back. Here we come Vegas!

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I'd like some advise, gentlemen. On the Ticketmaster page for this show, there are multiple "seating" options, some for $246, $146 and $35. I assume general admission (i.e. on the floor, by the stage or wherever as opposed to a raised seating area elsewhere) is the $35 ticket, but I want to be sure before buying a few for my friends and I. What did you guys buy?

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

while it lists those other prices, there are no tickets available beyond the 35.

if you search for them, it comes back "Sorry, no exact matches were found, but other tickets may still be available."

the notes do say you can call the venue to inquire about vip seating. I believe that would be table service in the upper balcony with drink/food minimum, but I could be wrong. so to answer your question, I got the $35 dollar tix

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Thanks!

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Hello all. Long time listener first time caller. I will be at the Vegas and Oakland shows and would love to meet up with some fellow Underworld fans. PM me or hit me up on twitter @chinoluxa. SOOOO looking forward to this.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Exactly 7 days from right this instant, Underworld will be playing in Vegas.
Who is going? Does anyone want to try and set up a dirty meet at the Hard Rock for before/after?

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I don't post here much, but I'll be there along with a bunch of friends. Some are flying in from Florida, one from NY, a few from LA, and one from Seattle. Last time we saw UW live was at the Colorado show 2007. Really excited to see them again and hear some new material.

I can already feel the good vibrations

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

That Denver show was EPIC. What I wouldn't give for a recording of that night. Everything was pretty much perfect on that one.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

It's on RTSR...

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Im going...see you all there

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Hey guys,

Turns out I'm going to this gig alone (not that I'm complaining at all), but I'll have all day Thursday to kill before the show. Any dirts out there want to meet up, grab food, maybe head to the venue early? PM me, I'll have my phone so I can read the forums.

Soooo can't wait for this show ... :)

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Sadly no Vegas for me. Were it on a weekend I'd be there for sure.
Seriously cannot recommend this place enough for eats, though, if you like burgers:

Small, unassuming, and absolutely delicious.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I'm here on Vegas too. Flew in from Portland this afternoon (5th). Was at 07 Denver show as well. I'll check back to see if any meets have been arranged!!

Enjoy the vibes!

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Here now, got here this morning.
Talked to the door man/bouncers out "The Joint" and they say that the doors will open around 6/6:30pm. And that almost every show @ "The Joint" has sold out. Capacity is 5000 for SRO shows.
(Heads up to all)
Security for shows here is looks TIGHT. They say that cameras are cool, but nothing else and they said they search everyone.

But is looks sweet as hell in there. Got to watch them test lights for 4 minutes until they kicked me out.

24 hours now!

P.S. - If you are here now & see a shaved head bald guy with a Red Amish/Abe Lincoln beard in shorts with tattoos on both of his legs, that's me.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I'll be looking for ya mr munson. Tan shorts, glasses, zero tatts, happy grin because he'll be groovin to underworld in just over 24 hrs.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Doors are 6/630?? The Hard Rock site and Ticketmaster both say the show starts at 9.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Ya it's odd. I just talked to the folks at the venue office and they said 8 for doors and 8:15 for opener needle drop

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

So I've heard a few people interested in a dirty meet but nothing concrete yet. How about we meet at the Hard Rock around 5? One person was interested in food/drinks at the Hofbrauhaus across the street. Nosajmunson, how about you suggest an exact spot since you're staying there. And you sound like you're easy to spot. :) cheers!

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I'm game. Hard rock works for me at 5 can always go elsewhere from there too, they offer a shuttle to the strip. I have to run to the mall (ew) this afternoon, actually probably around 1030 af anyone wants to meet up shoot me message back! It's the Boulavard mall that I'll be at. Have fun!

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Relax, SC, we'll get there in time. When are you heading out from LA, anyway?

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

This was according to a Doorman that stands there to keep people out while nothing is going on.
He and the ticket lady(Take that for what its worth?!?) say they open the doors early becuase they try and line up everyone inside the hotel.
The music is still to start at 9-ish.

And, you can't smoke in there.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

So tempted to feign ill at work and drive down there.

Lousy sense of responsibility:p

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Confirmed: Doors ar at 6:30 pm per the box office opening act to start at 9pm. And the band is here now (12:45 pm PST) because we just bumped into Rick.

So, only 5 hours and 45 minutes to go............

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

awww...I don't think I'll have the privilege of bumping into the band, ever. Jealous.

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

Soundcheck, so far: Between Stars, Jumbo, Two Months Off, Cowgirl, Diamond Jigsaw

Re: 2009-08-06 The Joint in Las Vegas
 

I'm wandering around the hard rock and the joint now. Jeans, maroon shirt, extremely short hair and oakleys. Just heard TMO. TheBang where are you?
