  • I'm doing the same dates as you and contemplating the same events.
  • But the key question remains . . . to BAP, or not to BAP?
  • I am looking at something similar... I am currently thinking of heading down from June 22 - June 28 and had Events 43 and 46 in mind.

    SWAP?, lol...
  • I'll likely head down at some point, no plans as of yet.

  • lol, Steve, that is a gruelling schedule.... That would certainly kill me, even if I went out in the 1st level in each.. :)

    Comp, he doesn't stop, was with him last year, once he is done one tourney he is either playing a SnG Sat, Cash, or another tourney, ultimate grinder.

    Hopefully this year he doesn't stay so far from the action, as it must have cut into his playing time LOL
  • lol this is once a year boys! All I can say is a love the game. I love this time of the year. I plan on going out there and giving the wsop my all this year. This is the type of schedule Ive been dreaming of playing since I started 6+ years ago.
    Definatly planning on staying at the rio this time haha.
  • Definatly planning on staying at the rio this time haha.

    Yeah, the Rio just seems like the best place for the WSOP to be held and the place to stay if you want to grind there... I like being on the strip, but the WSOP is well done at the Rio, so I hope the rumours of moving it to another Harrah's property (PH) are just that, rumours...

    That rumour has gone around every year for the past 3-4 years IIRC. I won't believe it until CEC releases an official statement
  • We'll see if I can find a backer.

    Otherwise I'll always have a seat..in front of my computer watching streams and reading "live updates"
  • Thought I'd cut and paste the schedule Blondefish posted ITT to make it easier:

    I really want to play the May 29 stud8 event but don't think I can make it. It would be fun to go when other forumers are going so I'll probably wait and see who is going when.
  • Hi everyone, long time reader, first time posting!

    For those of you who are planning to make the trip this year, when will you be looking to book your flights? Earlier the better or is there a specific time the air fare goes down? I'm looking to go in late June, started to monitor air fare rates.
  • I'll be heading down around the same time as Steve and CrazyKoby, playing event #38 $1500

    Anyone have an idea of what else is going on at the same time? I'll be looking to play some of the smaller buyin events but not sure what else is running

    thanx

    In addition to some great daily tourneys at Aria and Bellagio, there are several events that usually coincide with the WSOP. Last year, there was the Venetian Deepstack Series, the Caesars MegaStack series, Golden Nuggent Grand Series and another event at Binions.

    I am sure it will be the same this year. I think the Bellagio Cup is around that time as well. Lots of events and buy-in levels.
  • Garry there is plenty of tournaments to choose from in the range of $120 to $560 with decent to awesome structures at that time.

    The schedules and structures just have not been released yet from the other casinos.

    Just keep an eye on
    Venetian
    Caesars
    Golden Nugget
    Binions
    Aria
    Wynn

    FYI, the last 3 yrs or so Golden Nugget has run their Grand series at the same time, same events but 1/10 the cost. Fields were a lot smaller of course... I have played a couple.

    I think a lot of us have been tracking airfare and I just booked flights for june 16-24th. They were under 500.00 each direct through westjet.

    I consider that cheap out of toronto.

    Also depending on how much you degen in the pits you may want to book rooms directly with the hotel as they won't comp you anything this trip if you book a combo package through expedia etc.

    Talk to a host if you want when you first get down there or when you are checking out talk to the front desk and see what they can do for you. Last year I was able to get rooms comp'd as I had to stay longer for the WSOP ME and literally played maybe 2hrs of blackjack at the hotel.
  • Hoping to play something like this...

    June 6 - 1500 shootout
    June 7 - 1500 6max
    June 9 - 1500
    June 10 - 1000
    June 11 - 3000 6max
    June 14 2500 4max
    June 16 - 1500
    June 17 - 1000
    June 19 - 3000 SO
    June 20 - 1500
    June 22 - 3000
    June 23 - 1500
    june 24 - 1000
    June 25 - 2500
    June 27 - 1500 Ante Only
    June 28 - 5000

  • i smell a prop bet :P
  • In for trip ending July 2nd. Going to work it to be down by 26th since most of you guys will still be there. We are thinking 22nd to 2nd, but head to Anahiem for a few days in middle.

    Thinking we will hit as many of the $230 dailies at Rio as possible...same logic
    Bren most likely play with Wetts1012 in the ladies 1k
  • well, im old and its affordable...so the senior event looks good...and maybe smaller buy ins at Caesars..
