    June 29 - July 9, flying from Buffalo: WSOP Events #52 & 55, one event at Binion's Second Annual Poker Classic, any free days at Caesars Palace Mega Stack Series, and any free nights at IP or wherever the fishiest cash games are.
    Special events if have any remaining time (or if I lose all my money early! :-[): Bluff Magazine's second annual party, 2+2 forum meet-up, Gaming Life Expo on July 3-6, Red Hot Poker Tour Invasion IV, Star Trek: The Experience; Pokerforum.ca meet & greet??

    With at least the following nine forumers at Las Vegas between the dates June 29 - July 2, what about if we PM each other's hotel reservation information and then exchange extension or room numbers at Las Vegas? For example, we can rail and cheer on anybody that is headed for a final table.

    I'm pretty sure I'll be there last week of June/first week of July now regardless of ME or not. What airline did you book your flight with and how much?
  • foldedfolded

    I think all the really good deals are already gone, ie 2 months ago I could have booked Southwest out of Buffalo for under $200. return midweek direct flights but have a look here and see what you can find if you don't mind flying out of Buffalo.

    As I posted at the Expedia thread, I was tracking the hotel/flight/package prices from various websites. Given my date and hotel restrictions, as soon as the package price at Expedia.ca dipped, I chose the least expensive flight choice from Buffalo and quiickly booked, which at that moment was departing with Continental and returning with Delta Airways. The package price for 11 days of poker degeneracy at Imperial Palace was $718 each for two people, which works out to only $65/day/person.

    Looking at kayak.com, the flight-only prices out of Rochester and Detroit airports were cheaper than Buffalo, and were as low as $252-$269. IP and Sahara were the best-value strip hotels. Expedia.ca offers the 7th night at IP for free, so checking in on Sunday is best since the free Saturday night makes it even cheaper than booking with Expedia.com or IP directly.

    The high cost of gas combined with the megabus deal of $50 return bus fare to Buffalo Airport and downtown Toronto, I think I'm limiting myself to flying out of Buffalo.

    I'm heading down June 13-16. Staying at the Hilton. Not sure if I'll hitup any WSOP events, maybe some of the smaller ones...the pockets aren't that deep.
  • ottawaplayerottawaplayer
    It looks like that there are at least 3 of us in Event #52...

    Last year I played a couple of the $540 deep stack tourneys at the Venetian. One of them was part of the now defunct CEO Tour, which turned out to be a bit of a sham, but that has been well documented on other forums. At least I got a CEO Tour hat out of the deal (Is that a collector's item now!!) ???

    However, this year I will check out that Caesars Deep Stack schedule. They did not have that running last year when I was there.

    If I remember correctly, last year the Bellagio also had the Bellagio Cup going on during the WSOP Main event. I had been planning to play their big weekly $1000 NLHE event when I was down there, but all of their regular tourneys were cancelled during the Bellagio Cup event.

    read this on cardplayer.com:

    Book All Travel Accommodations at Once
    Travel Link Unlimited’s motto is that it is “the missing link between you and the world,” and poker players know that during the chaos of the World Series of Poker, it is easy to lose focus on everything else outside of the game.
    That is why the company is offering specials for WSOP poker players that take care of all of the necessary accommodations. Packages can include luxury vacation homes or condo resorts next to The Strip, VIP nightlife, and VIP transportation.
