Seeing the Eagles at the Sphere on Saturday, 11/14. Flying in the night before, catching a redeye out Sunday night. Wife has never been to Vegas and has never had any interest in going to Vegas, so I think the plan is to keep it low key-check in and grab a drink before bed on Friday, spend Saturday at the pool before the concert, concert Saturday night, either the 11 or 2 Wizard of Oz back at the Sphere Sunday, peoplewatch and shop Sunday afternoon and evening, and fly out at like 11:30pm Sunday.
Given where we're planning on spending most of our time, is TI a reasonable choice? Seems like Caesars, Venetian, and everything else around the Sphere are like $400/night, and I can get TI for like $150. I"ve never stayed there....only ever stayed at CP, Venetian, Bellagio, and Mandalay Bay. It's close to the Sphere and kinda right in the middle of everything, so location-wise it seems like a reasonable choice. Not looking for a 5 star resort for this trip.....it's about the shows.
Thoughts?

- if you're going for location near sphere first and don't care about 5 star, TI works - snipes824 May 13, 2026, 22:39:57
