Turning 40!!!!!

On Jan. 26th I’ll be turning 40 years old!!

This is frighteningly only six months away, so let the planning begin.

I'm planning on celebrating/mourning it by spending a few days in Vegas.

This is an open invitation to anyone who wants to come along to help celebrate the death of the my 30's.

The dates that I’m thinking are around Jan. 20-23 or Feb. 3-6. (My youngest daughter’s birthday is Jan. 28th, and my Oldest is Feb. 9th, so I want to be home for those dates).

I haven't booked anything yet, I’m waiting to see what kind of room rates I can get from Harrah's. I'm thinking about staying at PH. I've never stayed there before, but I think I’ll give it a try. (Usually stay at Rio, Caesars, or Harrah’s).

If you consider yourself a friend and want to join in the celebration, or are just looking for an excuse to tell the wife why you need to go to Vegas, post here if interested in joining.

  • You're just turning 40? Jeez . . . Every day I feel closer to guys like compuease, and Buzzard . . .
  • If its Feb Im in. Cant do Jan.
  • Sounds like a plan... Not sure but will try... I am already hoping to go at the beginning of Dec as I can get round trip flights all taxes included for $135. then. If a bunch of you drunk Ching players go then it would be easy $$$ for a DD like me.....

    Actually just checked Spirit Air out of Detroit and I can get that same price in Feb.

    I'm leaning towards the Feb date myself.
  • In. Feb probably will work best
  • Venetian deep stack always runs in feb.

    Could do 3rd week in Feb (includes family day so only 4 days off work).

    I think i'm going to go with the first week/weekend in Feb. I want to try to keep the date as close as possible to my B-day as i can. Hopefully the people who have already responded are good with early Feb.

    Like i mentioned i'll be staying at a Harrah's Hotel, more then likely PH. (Curious to check it out, nicely located on the strip) The plan is simple... This is where i'll be the first week of Feb. mourning the passing of my 30's. Drinking lots, gambling lots, checking out woman lots. Gawking at hot 21 year olds, that are now practically half my age. (i'm getting depressed just thinking about it).

    If you want to join me, book a flight, get a room, meet me there. Once i have exact dates i'll let everyone know.

    This is open to anyone who wants to come, I can't celebrate my 40th in Vegas alone.

    Yep, even I who doesn't play slots or tables games (unless Moose tries to teach me craps) :) get some pretty good discounts. Last trip I stayed at the IP, regular rate was $25. but when I used my card to reserve I got $17. per night.

    Good: Will be very busy, cash games should be phenomenal (grammar police please check spelling)

    Bad: Everything will cost more (ie. flights, hotels)

    Actually Mike, that would make you the old bastard.

    This moment of despair brought to you by someone older and more senile than you both so no smart-ass comment is needed. After all, I am already sitting in the First Class section on the Death Plane, so what better revenge do you need?

    So where does that make me? Strapped to the nose cone?
  • I think the first Venetian Deepstack of the year in NAPT so that would be cool?

    Obv. I was *bumped* from the earlier flight, probably by some crafty
    "last-minute" deal-meister like yourself . . .

    For sure, but, if I remember right, there was a problem after the fact with Pokerstars being affiliated with a casino in Nevada......so there may be problems with NAPT going back to Vegas.:bs:

    Apologies for derailing....but, either way, Venetian deepstack during the trip is clearly a big plus.

    Fortunately I'll still be one of the young pups 2 years away from the dreaded 40 when this rolls around.

    Ahhh the dreaded 40....... What distant memories...

    What were we derailing anyways........
  • OK, So lets wait until Venitian announces the Deepstack dates before finalizing anything.
  • From the deepstack schedule in 2009 to this years the dates have been pretty much identical.

    So for 2011 in February you will probably see it scheduled anywhere from January 28 to February 23

    If the 3 to 6 doesn't work after the deepstack schedule is released I propose the 17 to 20 this will most likely be at the tail end of the deepstack series

    Also my bday is on February 27. May not be turning 40 but I will be close lol

    I know, I was just hoping to drag as many down with me as possible in the realization that i too will be passing through that gate myself.

    Lets see the dates for the deepstack. I'm sure if I go into mid life crisis mode the wife surely can't say no.
  • Just wanted to bump this back up.

    Start getting your wives prepared for an all boys weekend+ in Vegas!!

    No that's right :)

    I have some time booked off in Feb, so if I have a roll for the trip I will consider going. I'll see about Mark/Mario also.
  • For everyone who is planning on coming to Vegas, I'm thinking about going Feb. 3rd- 6th. I've checked my Total Rewards rates for rooms, I can get all three nights comped at both IP and Flamingo, Harrahs will comp my 1st two nights and charge $35 for the third night, PH will comp my 1st night, $70 for Friday, $130 for Saturday. I'm actually thinking about staying at Harrahs. Nice and central to everything, right beside Venitian, across from Mirage and Ceasars. I've stayed at Harrahs lots of times, it serves its purpose.
