Leaving ESPN Zone to MGM - quickest way????

[Suzanne74]

We are attempting (attempting is key word) to watch the Eagles next Sunday at ESPN Zone and then take the boat or walk to MGM to watch the parade at 4:30pm. Since this is a tight time to do this, I was wondering what the parade route is (never seen the parade but have been to MGM.) I am hopping it ends towards where we come in. We also have 5:30pm ressies at Prime Time - the parade isn't too long - right?

And should we take the boat, bus or walk to MGM from ESPN Zone - which is faster?

TIA

We have stayed at the Boardwalk many times and have never had the boat beat us to MGM when we were walking. But timing is key. If the boat is heading over to the Swan/Dolphin get over there and catch it. If not, walk. When you are leaving ESPN hang a left down the boardwalk then cut through the courtyard area of the Boardwalk Villas. Turn left at the pool and follow the sidewalk. You will get there in no time.

We'll be doing this in about 10 days.

Since they're playing the Raiders (0-2) and pathetic you could probably leave at half time!! Seriously, for the record it's the ESPN Club (not zone). I say that because they seem to frown on it being called the ESPN Zone. Okay, if you leave by 4:00 you should be all set and I suggest walking (unless the boat is there). Here's the play: left out of ESPN, go about 100 feet or so to the
grassy area (where the surrey bikes are)....danger, shortcut approaching....
hang a left past Wylans Gallery, cut right through the pool area and you'll hit the path to MGM. Proceed left to MGM....about 10 - 15 minutes from here...
and paydirt!!

As far as the parade is concerned.....I believe and I might be wrong, that it ends at the entrance.

Oh and by the way....Go Jets!!! (The other green team)

Most of the time, walking will beat the boat over, although some may find the walk somewhat long (10-15 minutes)
