I hear there's not so much going on there.

Yeah, apparently whatever happens there stays there because no one wants to bring that kind of boredom across state lines.
This might come in handy:
Coming to a Maiden show? Want to get a beer with some like-minded folks beforehand? Or maybe after? Or during?
Come along to the following fan meetups and Trooper parties - Trooper will be on hand at all of them and the Iron Maiden Beer crew will be running Trooper promotions and handing out giveaways (while they last!)
Trooper will also be available at the venues in Fort Lauderdale, Tulsa and Las Vegas!
Stay tuned for Trooper party info for the rest of the tour dates...

So...looks like we found our place for the meetup!
Six English blokes with devil-worshipping tendencies? Best stay clear of them.
Woohoo! Now that sounds like some fun!!

Looked up Counts Vamp'd -- evidently The Iron Maidens will be playing there Saturday night. Not sure, really, whether that's a pro or a con. It is some distance from the Strip.
Agree we should meet up at RiRa in Mandalay Bay on Sunday.

I'd like to see The Iron Maidens. If we meet on the Strip, we can always get a couple cabs and split them.
Should we start building an official itinerary?
I'm game!

Is the Iron Maidens show free? If so, I'm game, as it would add to the ALL THINGS MAIDENness of the weekend. But I've seen them a few times and if I have to pay to get in, meh. The Hard Rock Casino is closer to the strip, if we decide to forgo the TIMs show.

Not free, $10 according to the Vamp'd website. No cover at the Double Down, but I don't know anything about that band, either.
I'll go along with the herd, regardless.
I'm there to hang with you guys, so whatever you wanna do!

Counts Vamp'd is also the Official Fan Club meetup, as seen here: http://forum.ironmaiden.com/showthread.php?t=110600
Apparently, most people are planning on getting there at 7:30, doors open at 9, show starts at 10:30.
I dunno. It'd be cool to be around so many Maiden fans, but also might feel like we're blowing the Maiden Mania a night too early...Just my 2 cents.

Is that even possible?

Depends on how many "Play Classics!" are in attendance.
The Maidens are sure to play classics. Then we get TBOS the next night! But yeah, I dig it.

The Maidens are always solid. They actually play a great amount of 80's stuff (and pretty much only 80's stuff except for The Wicker Man and Fear of the Dark) and some really rare songs, too. Over the course of three shows I've seen them do all of Powerslave (except Rime), Deja-Vu, Icarus, Killers, Transylvania, and Genghis Khan. I'm sure it'll be a good time.
But I'm already pretty strapped for this gig, so trying to save every $ I can.

I wouldn't worry too much about entrance fees. I can take care of crap like that for you.
