Montreal? Where would they play in Montreal in November?
Sadly, Canada has probably seen its laat Stones show.
Montreal in November - Olympic Stadium has a roof.
Rogers Centre in Toronto formerly Skydome.
They'll have to decide soon: Rogers Centre (SkyDome) is planned for demolition.

Plexi, what hotels did you find for Minneapolis? Thanks.
I settled on one called the Graduate Minneapolis which claimed that it had unique local qualities, very Minneapolis or Minnesotan, something like that. It is 1.36 miles from the stade/stadium which is further away than I wanted, but the cost was less than some others which were closer. Has a "Wonderful" rating (higher than Excellent). I am going to be paying $367.39 including tax for two nights but parking was another $50.

Isn't it amazing how quickly stadiums are considered old and obsolete! I remember when it opened, it was considered an architectural wonder with it's retractable roof. Even Washington wants to build a new football stadium even though theirs, formerly Jack Kent Cooke stadium opened in 97 I believe. Imagine tearing down a house that was built in the late 90s!

Hairball, what's the best way from the Luxor, to go to back of Mandalay and then over or what?
What about Hacienda being closed during large events?

There's an interior walkway that goes from Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay with some shops, restaurants etc. along the way connecting the hotels, and portions of it are a "moving sidewalk".
Or the free tram starts at Exalibur with a stop at Luxor and then on to Mandalay Bay, and it also runs in reverse starting at Mandalay > Luxor> Excalibur.
Once inside Mandalay, walk through casino back to indoor parking lot and/or towards Delano Hotel and indoor parking lot (Delano and Mandalay are interconnected and share same parking structure).
Exit from parking structure to Mandalay Bay Rd which which goes over the freeway and turns in to Hacienda Avenue.
Or from Luxor Hotel- walk and exit to back of hotel/casino to Luxor Drive - turn left which will take you to Mandalay Bay Rd/Hacienda Ave. and then go over freeway
Hacienda Ave./Mandalay Bay Rd. is only closed to automobile traffic during large events, but it remains open to the large number of pedestrians making their way to and from the stadium.
Here's link to google map - zoom out a bit and scroll around - you can see Hacienda Ave and Mandalay Bay Rd going over freeway which then turns in to Hacienda Drive.
Mandalay Bay hotel, Delano, and Luxor are to the right w/Las Vegas Blvd. (The Strip) to the far right. Excalibur is just north of Luxor.

ps - I know several other people who have have already booked at Mandalay or Luxor, so no doubt there will be a large caravan of many other Stones fans making the trek.
Just follow the tongues and you won't get lost.

The Graduate is a neat little chain of hotels all located in college towns (U of M campus is right across the river from US Bank Stadium). I have been to the one in Bloomington, IN and it is nice and unique.

There’s a couple of interesting videos in this Vancouver news item. I don’t think it’s been posted previously.
The played Doom and Gloom at every concert from 2012-2014. Considering how successful Ghost Town was, I'm sure they will play it at every concert of the tour.Quote

Wonder what the odds are they'll play "Living In A Ghost Town" at least once.. (and drop if it doesn't work)
I think it has real potential to be great live, a bit of an Out Of Control vibe.

Charlotte, New Orleans, Tampa seem to be better choices but weather is always a concern. Atlanta is crime infested and dangerous due to the lack of police presence, and Pittsburgh was boring in 2015, it rained all day and the show was very pedestrian.
