awesome! i wish i was going. just can't afford it. but i did go to 137 which was my first. when you go, there will be the entrance to the arena where you'll watch the weigh ins and the fight and there are escalators that go down if you walk past the entrance on your right. if you go down them and just wait, a ton of guys will walk out there after the fights and stuff. i hope those directions kind of makes sense. have a great time!

Nice!  I love Vegas and hope one day to attend an event there, just haven't been able to get out there lately.

@Crumx7

I just went to UFC 129, and UFC 140 in Toronto. My best advice is to get seats above the cage. I had a very hardtime in the lower bowl (sec100s) seeing the fights. I found myself looking at the jumbo-tron most of the time. At UFC 140, I sat front row in the 300s and it was fantastic. I didnt need to look at the giant screen once and saw everything perfectly!

Be prepared for a lot of belligerent fans, and loud music.

Go early, hit up any UFC related events, like the weigh-ins and Q&A's, and go to the ****** after parties for some autographs.

i went to UFC 87 and didn't have the time to do any of those things, and i deeply regret it..... next time, i will make the time or plan it in ahead of time. There's just no room for sleep until your driving/flying home!
