Time to start making travel plans.
Let's say I win a satellite on July 2 to the Main Event or make it to the second day of the WSOP Event #55, is it a simple matter to delay my flight for up to July 16 while my family flies back as scheduled on July 8?
As far as travel plans, I'm guessing you're better off having your ticket as an open ticket, while giving your family a closed ticket. I'm no travel expert so maybe Watts or someone can chime in and help you out.
Ideally I'll be there for 3-4 tournaments starting June 19th until the 22nd...and hopefully can win a satellite for the ME but I will have to wait and see when Stars star their satellites.
Last time I just bought a one-way for myself. Although you get grilled by the U.S. customs guy "Why only one way, you don't know when you're coming back?"
The cheapest way would be to fly through buffalo and hotel seperately. I just use Expedia and fly out of yyz myself for convinience.
I'm probably 90% sure I'll be down there some time during the wsop.
They have suites with kitchenettes, it is a condo/hotel with conceirge, indoor outdoor pool and a couple of resturants. No casino, no smoking in the building.
For Christmas I was able to get a 1200sq ft Penthouse, with Strip view for $1300US for an 8day 7 night stay.
Great for kids as ours goes to sleep at 8ish and you can still use the rest of the suite.
That would be great! Where are you going to be playing?/staying?
obviously........

So far, it looks like forumers westside8, pokerdro, actyper, Choron, phillivey and I are planning to go to Las Vegas during WSOP time. Somebody who actually made a profit by winning in Vegas tournaments and cash games recently wants to go back to Vegas in early 2008, and it's hard for me to say no to an +EV vacation. Are there any big tournaments or events going on in Las Vegas in January or February?
Good call..
June 29: Arrive in Las Vegas.
June 30, noon: WSOP Event #52.
Play in a couple of special tournaments at Harrah's.
Consider playing in Main Event satellites up to July 5, e.g., $330, $550 and/or $1060 Mega satellites.
July 3-6: 2+2 get-together.
July 5, 4 PM: Binion's Second Annual Poker Classic.
July 7-8, noon: WSOP Event #55, best-value WSOP bracelet at $500!
July 9, noon: hopefully make it to Day 2B of Main Event and cancel return flight.
Other tournaments going on:
- Play on any free days at Caesars Palace Mega Stack Series, up to July 9, noon, $225+.
- The Grand Poker Series at the Golden Nugget up to July 6, noon, $225+.
- Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza II up to July 16, noon, $330+.
- WPT Bellagio Cup IV, July 1-17, noon, $1590+.
Who else from the forum is planning to be in Las Vegas from June 29 or during the Main Event?
in Event #49 and #52
Flying home July 3rd, unless I win a satelite into the main event.
