Next CPF Vegas trip 2011

JohnnieH

$1500ish for a few sessions/buys-ins for 1/2 NL, 5/10 and under and a few MTTs for $200 or less.

Like Comp said, you could eat at fast food joints and live off $30/day or less. I would guess my daily food rate is around an average of $50-$60. I usually splurge on a good meal (+$50) at least once per trip.

For non-gaming activities, the sky is the limit. Literally. You can almost fly in space for $5000! Plan out your interests and budget accordingly.

No you don't. You get off the plane broke, take luggage roulette winnings to the craps table, hit six points, and enter and cash in a poker tournament. Continue winning until it's time to leave. Get on plane 4-6 days later thousands of dollars richer.

Sweet - changed flight to leave Monday morning from Buffalo so now I get in a 1pm instead of 11pm or whatever it was before

I think Blackmagicz stayed at Aria during this period. Surprised a new hotel would have this problem. I would expect this at Hooters :) Guess its a good idea not to drink the water in your hotel room.....hello.

I got restaurant.com tickets for there. Wait for a sale. $2 for $25 I believe I paid. I assume also they would be on the list at tixfortonight.com.

edit: yup

You pay something like $4 but there should be a coupon on the website somewhere for another $2 off. redit: the $2 coupon is for show tickets only.

you can only buy tickets on the same day? do you have to line up and see what's available?

moose

For shows it is same day. For meals - I believe it is a voucher which you can exchange at a later date. The strip tix is very busy but if you have a car the offstrip locations have almost no wait.

Also for shows you are not buying a particular seat, you must then go to the box office and exchange your voucher for an actual reserved seat. The long lines are because everyone lines up early so they can go exchange their voucher ASAP and get the best seats.

JohnnieH

Speaking of shows, are we going to any? I believe Penn & Teller was discussed, and since we all like boobies maybe we should see Jubliee?

+1 on restaurant.com. usually by the end of the month they have 80% off sale so I got one which I gave to a friend for the WSOP this year. I've been there before, I'm not a big fan of Indian food so it was meh for me, but I know some people that loves it there.

JimmyHo

anyone know anything about the Polo Towers? Pretty decent rate for the weekend:

I've stayed there. It's ok. Small pool on the roof. Great view of strip.

Timeshare so be prepared for a hard sell.

Try Hooters. It has a poker room and is right beside Tropicana and MGM which both also have poker rooms now.

Expedia shows $69, $69, $20 but try contacting them directly:
e-mail us at res1@hooterslv.com to inquire about your specific dates.

Compuease has stayed at Hooters a couple of times. I believe he's had no complaints and hasn't brought anything back that would get him I trouble with his wife either.

Thanks, but looking for Sept 30 - Oct. 3rd segment of the trip. That's a pretty good rate.

moose

Well you only get one set of coupons and staying Sept. 30 would qualify then.

JimmyHo

Like to give the following tournaments a shot. If anyone is interested in swapping an equity percentage, let me know. These all seem to have a decent structure and good starting stack. Probably going to put together a 30% equity share for a group of tournaments that week:

Aria $125 1pm or 7pm (daily)

Aria 1:00 pm $125 NL Holdem Poker Tournament

Venetian $150 noon (daily)

Venetian 12:00 pm $150 NL Holdem Poker Tournament

Venetian $340 noon (Sat).

Venetian 12:00 pm $340 NL Holdem Poker Tournament

JohnnieH

Funny you should bring that up, I'm just starting to look at which MTTs I want to play. All 3 you posted look good.

Since my wife plans to crash the Caesars pool, I'm going to play a tournament 'next door' at Bellagio. Never played there before. Probably the Daily $340, unless I'm up for the week than I'll play the $540 on Friday or Saturday.

Bellagio 2:00 pm $340 NL Holdem Poker Tournament

Bellagio 2:00 pm $540 NL Holdem Poker Tournament

I'll probably BINGO-it-up at The Rio $60 at 12pm or if we're staying 'in' at The Rio one night, I'll play the $125 6PM. Either way I'm drinking off my singles.

I'll swap 5% with you if we play the same tournaments.
