Why this order
Most disappointing nights out come from decisions made in the wrong sequence: buying before checking the seat plan, or planning a walk across the Strip without thinking about heat or distance. Working through the stages above keeps the important checks ahead of the spending. Schedules, bag policies and parking change, so confirm those details on each venue's own site close to the date.
