I'm trying to decide which one I will go to, Vegoose (Las Vegas) or the Voodoo Music Festival (New Orleans). I'm leaning towards Voodoo; I went last year and was really impressed with how well-run and well-organized it was; beer and burger prices at the event were pretty close to what you'd pay on the outside (I don't think I have ever seen $3 beer at any other music event, at least not since the very first Lollapalooza), and the sound crew really put a lot of effort into preventing the sound from one stage from stepping on the next stage over...
Lineups are comperable, with Rage Against the Machine actually playing both. The Stooges play Vegoose, Ska Cubana plays Voodoo, in the end each lineup is awesome.
Full lineups at http://vegoose.com (http://vegoose.com) and http://voodoomusicfest.com (http://voodoomusicfest.com)
Price-wise, each trip will run about the same, New Orleans probably a little cheaper (the good Vegas hotels are high that week) although in NOLA I would want to stay on for Halloween and in Vegas I usually win a nice little pile of money. But money really is not that big an issue--- no I am not rich, I just realize this won't be a $700 trip and either way, I'll be spending some money, and the difference in cost isn't going to be big enough to use as the deciding factor.
So since things are so evenly matched, which one would you go to?
-
i'd stay home, save the money and the heat stroke, pets my cats, and watch it on the eventual dvd.
-
Personally I'd hit Vegoose.
-
Vegoose has a better lineup, so I'd hit that.
-
If all else is equal:
Strippers in Vegas > Strippers in New Orleans
-
Vegoose may end up with marginally better line up, but from a comfort, convenience, and the fact New Orleans can use your $$$ a whole lot more than Vegas that's the horse I'm going to ride.
I've only done Vegoose once, I've done Voodoo four times, and with the exception of the Katrina year which only one day in NO and one in Memphis and a complete clusterphuck, it's always been a great time.
I like Vegas for one off's, but I don't gamble so if there are no shows I want to see or DJ's in town there's nothing there for me, it's kind of sterile but both cities draw their fair share of druken A -holes, they just seemed to more well heeled in Vegas.
I don't think you can go wrong either way, but I'd vote for Voodoo.
-
For your money, with all things comparable, Voodoo Fest makes more sense. First, its $100 tickets for the entire weekend (3 days), in-and-out entry, whereas Vegoose is $150 GA BASE PRICE (2 days, no in-and-out entry; $80 for one-day) plus if you want to go see Vegoose at Night shows (like the Shins, Umphreys McGee at Vegas clubs like the Joint and House of Blues), those cost extra and you MUST buy a 2-day pass for it. Flights are actually around the same: about $200-$250 per person roundtrip to fly to Vegas and New Orleans. Hotels would be cheaper in N.O., as someone pointed out, and they could probably use the money more than Vegas.
I went through this same debate with my friend, who actually lives in Vegas. Because of that, I wouldn'tve had to worry about paying for a hotel there. BUT even with that, we found it was better to go to New Orleans, because 3 of our favorite bands (rage, pumpkins and Coheed and Cambria) are playing in New Orleans, so the $100 more than makes sense for us. This is just my opinion, you have to take into consideration the line-up. I know not everyone loves Coheed or the Pumpkins as much as I do, and the Vegoose line-up is very good: The Stooges, Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, plus Rage of course. And Vegas is a great town, but it is the weekend, the Strip will be packed and it will cost you a fortune to stay there for a weekend. In the end you have to judge the overall line-up quality and the prices of flights, hotels and tickets and decide which makes more sense for your money. I've never been to New Orleans, it will cost more to go there in my case, but I can still see all three bands I want to see by Saturday night, can fly back Sunday to DC and only miss one day of work.
P.S. The Strip Clubs in Vegas are great. Hit up Little Darlings if you there.

based on line-up, it's vegoose for me. voodoo has smashing pumpkins (will have seen them twice by then) and wilco (not a huge fan), which can't compete with vegoose: rage (best act from coachella), daft punk and muse (two best acts of lolla), stooges (year's best act at 930), QOTSA (might be my only chance to see them), thievery, battles... daft punk alone is putting me on that plane.
if anyone is considering going and wants to share costs (accomodations, car rental, etc) send me a PM. i'm still in the early planning stages, haven't bought/reserved anything yet.

New Orleans is way cooler than Vegas.

From one amateur consultant to a professional one, your logic is not faulty, but unfortunately you're not weighing the intangibles and only the experience itself will teach the lesson you need to know about this bad choice...but you know I wish you well, and will be thinking about your horrible evenings on the strip while we're living the vida loca on Bourbon street (well sort of).
-
Ehhh, hope they don't disappoint you the 2nd time around 'coz you'll get exactly the same show. I was blown away by Muse last time during Download fest but what I got at Lolla was exactly the same thing.

I feel you on that, but New Orleans does NOT have Daft Punk. That's a scale-tipper to say the least. Then toss in Iggy. Plus Queens. Now I'm leaning REAL hard towards Vegas my damn self. The only thing semi-stopping me is upon recent review, my concert expenditure is starting to get a little outta control this year.
I'd do it all again, though . . . :D

EXACTLY? I've been to quite a few Muse festival shows since the most recent album was released and though similiar I don't think I got EXACTLY the same set list or visuals at any two of them, so you should proably buy a lottery ticket today. And Daft Punk hasn't spun EXACTLY the same thing on any of the US dates thus far, a scarily fanatical friend of mine has been/is going to them all and has delineated on her PRIVATE blog the differences between the appearances. Though for the average Joe (no pun intended) they are very similiar and the visuals are essentially the same, but the music (the important thing) has changed.
-
i've never been to vegoose, but i have gone to voodoo and LOVED it. the festival was nice, good food, good seats, good bands.
the weather will be better in new orleans. soo much cooler than vegas.
i'd choose voodoo. where else can you get a buggy ride and order a hurricane curbside--i dont recall the name of that bar, but they make the best hurricane i've had to date.

won't be exactly the same, there are slight differences (listen to the O2 show - songs are even in different order). even if it was the exact same show, i'm on board - i'd be happy to relive that. and i seriously doubt that muse played the same set at both festivals... weren't you complaining "where are the songs"??? i wonder if this isn't a case of their songs all sounding the same to you ;)
-
I've never been there, but from what I've heard, I fail to see how Vegas is a "great city" worthy of a "proper visit". I'll be happy if I never go there.
New Orleans is pretty cool though.

Why don't you invite all these other people that you talk with to participate on this board, because they'd have a lot more to add to these conversations than you're consistent "well, I've never_______ but from what I've heard I'd ___________" conjecture? Maybe this board has passed you by a bit...

Originally posted by sweetcell:
both vegas and NO are indeed great cities worthy of proper visits - but it isn't going to happen much during a festival. typical day: wake up, grab brunch, head to festival, dance ass off, possibly catch after-party, pass out, repeat. indio is absolutely boooooring, but it can host one of the best festivals anywhere - why? because location doesn't count for very much. if i had extra time to kick it and check out the city my choice might be different, but with limited vacation time and budget it's fly-in fly-out.
[/b]
and my point is, those intangibles are rather limited during day-long festivals. not absent, just limited - not enough to out-weigh a better line-up. i plan on spending no time on the strip, with the possible exception of catching one late-night show (and/or a cirque du soleil show - TBD). unlike yourself, i need to sleep at some point :) [/QB]
The intangibles in this case is that the festival is built around the evening shows, not vice versa.
Vegoose as a festival is sorta like a cd sampler put out by record labels in hopes that you'll buy the full lengths by the artists.
Again, this is something that needs to be experienced before it makes sense why I'm warning you off it, so you're doing the right thing, because you're a smart guy and won't make the same mistake twice :p
There's more than enough good acts to lure anyone, including me, if it didn't coincide with Voodoo.

good to know your preconceptions and grouchiness aren't limited to music ;)
but seriously: it has hotels that are themselves attractions, all sorts of shows (3 by cirque du soleil), gambling... while it might not be a city you're interested in, several million visitors a year seem to think otherwise.
-
Ok, from what I've READ.
Please tell me, what makes Vegas a "great city" worthy of a "proper visit"?
I'll bet there are plenty of people on this very board who have no interest in ever going to Vegas, based on what they've read/heard.

ok - heres a genuine answer without being a smart-ass. for the people who cannot afford to get to paris, rome and many of the other cities, the hotels are pretty amazing. paris - which obviously has the eiffel tower, the venetian (or is that Caesars (prob Caesars)) has their tribute to Rome. With a pristine ceiling that is really immaculate. Venetian has the gondolas in their hotel. Each hotel is pretty opulent and worthy of looking at. The Luxor was pretty impressive from what I remembered.
Besides the hotels, there are plenty of "las vegas" shows to see, as well as the cirque de soleil shows. Of course you can see Celine or any of the others there, who put on quite the shows.
And theres always gambling. For most people theres a bit of everything to do. My dad detests the place, mainly for the weather (cant do extreme heat), and he hates people! so yeah, its really not for him.
but for all the haters of vegas, youll get a lot more that love it, for more than just the gambling.

Actually, "plenty" is an over statement. I'd be willing to bet it's just you and maybe Celeste, although she appears to have lived a little more than you so I put her in the maybe category, otherwise I bet nearly every other person on this board would like to give Vegas a shot just to find out what it's like on their own.
And as far as making a case, I, for one, am happy that you don't want to go to Vegas, because I go often and would rather you not be there for fear that you'd ruin everyone else's fun.

not to rain on the parade, but i have almost zero interest in Vegas. never been, had the chances, dont care to. not really like i feel the need to stay away, but since i have never been to San Fran, Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, Austrailia, Sweden, Italy or Scotland and those all fall higher on my "places to go" list, i doubt i'll be on the strip anytime soon. :eek:
-
Is it a stretch to imagine that there are people (other than just your dad?) who actually would have no interest in any of this? Apparently for Vansmack, this is too much of a stretch for him.
For me, it's hard to imagine why anyone wouldn't want to experience the incredible glory that is the Grand Canyon. Yet, I'll bet there are plenty of people who have no interest in going there.

Shows in Vegas are overpriced and the magician shows are a joke. Vegas is worth seeing once. My advice is to not spend more than 2 days there. I don't think I'll go there again, unless I have to.

I should have said French Canadians don't count because they've got Montreal and nothing in Vegas can compare to Montreal (save for poker because I don't play poker where I don't sepak the language).
But, I bet you go once before you die, now that you're becoming a US Citizen and all.

i think it will take more than 2 days to go through all the celebrity chef restaurants though. that, of course, is relatively meaningless to those of us with somewhat easy access to new york and san francisco (or chicago) though. for some people, being able to eat at bouchon or jean-georges or daniel is worth going to vegas, for any number of reasons.

my best friend at the time and i spent the spring break of our senior year of college (which was um, two years ago) in vegas for the week and had a blast. we didn't do nearly everything we wanted to do either. maybe it's a reflection of age? but i would love to go back and although i do enjoy some gambling, i enjoyed the shopping and partying/drinking a lot more.
also, i don't think we'll ever forget the topless magic show we saw combining our 'need' for both showgirls and magic. AND the drinks were free. but, then again, i love trashy, tacky, kitchsey shit. which is probably why vegas is so much fun for me. oh, that and im in my early 20s... which most of you aren't. *ahem*
-
Miss P, there was never any doubt which camp you were in.
-
just read that vegoose will allow taping "from behind the soundboard" (realistically, i can't see how they're going to stop folks from going closer to the PA, tho). so, all you folks don't need to attend vegoose, it'll be online afterwards. yeah, stay home. don't crowd the place for those in attendance, it's going to suck, plus it's in vegas. stay away :p
one funny thing i noticed tho is that nowhere is daft punk listed as performing there other than the vegoose website. pollstar announced it in a news story, but hasn't added it to daft punk's calendar. not that this is stopping me from buying a ticket (note to those interested: you should do so tomorrow, so that you get your presale code in time for the night show onsale on saturday).

tickets go on pre-sale tomorrow for VIP ticket holders, and satuday for regular 2-day pass holders. regular pass-holders can purchase as many tickets to after-parties as the number of passes they bought. they say it can take up to 24 hours to get your presale password, so anyone wanting in on the after-fun should probably buy their festival passes today or first thing tomorrow morning. i'd expect the after-parties to sell out during the presale.

i know, i know, but i'm not presenting it as something fabulous either. believe me, NJ is not my first destination of choice. i'm trying my best to remain open-minded, or at least chalk this up as a lesson in humility :p

question for those who have been to vegoose before: how late does the festival run? when does it shut down at night? 10 PM? 11? just wondering about catching all of the headliner's set, vs. trekking back for after-parties.

FYI, i got my presale password 12 minutes after my ticket order went through, so the 24-hours thing is just them covering their asses.
