400 reviews, baby!!!
the MGM grand garden arena is definitely worth my 400th review...or maybe just the reason i was there made it more worthwhile. i'm not really a big fan of vegas, cuz uhhhh...most of the time, vegas hates me and vice versa. i give and give and give...and all vegas does is take and take and take. it's a very unhealthy relationship for me. so i usually try to avoid vegas at all costs, especially during holiday weekends. but this trip was an exception...
i was lucky enough to score some tickets to the big ufc fight through a photographer that i recently worked with. i just love my job. :) he definitely hooked me up! i got to have my first experience at the garden arena and watch my first ufc fight...actually, my first real fight...period. i don't even really know much about ufc or fighting but why in the world would i pass up this opportunity? it would be totally unacceptable.
the arena is located pretty deep in the MGM...i think...or we just went the wrong way and walked all the way around. and of course, silly me was wearing heels. i just don't ever learn. hey, a girl has a right to wear cute shoes whenever she wants! parking wasn't too bad considering the big event but we did get there pretty early to try to catch the first fight.
i don't think there are really any bad seats in the house. the octagon is in the middle and there are big screens everywhere to get a better view of what's going on in there. of course, there are bars all over the place so alcohol wouldn't be a problem. this is vegas, damn it! i didn't visit the bar tho. i think that was the first time i actually stayed sober in vegas.
all in all it was good times. the venue was great for my first real right...and quite possibly, my last.
