Here is the schedule for the AVP Weekly Showdown for November. Just to "mix" things up a bit, we've included the Sunday night mixed cash game at Imperial Palace! It has been a long time favorite of AVPer's!
11/7 Stratosphere 7pm $45
11/11 IP mixed game 7pm (Cash game)
11/20 Aria 7pm $125
11/29 Bally's 8pm $55
In October every tourney had some sort of money/prize added for AVP'ers. If that is the case then I may do the Stratosphere tourney, which is where the old Sahara tourney's landed after it closed (same structure/format).
Also good thing, it virtually guarantees that there will be a mixed game at IP on Sun night!

Any idea what sort of numbers they get for that? I do want to spend some time with you guys... I used to like those old Sahara tournaments even with the low buyins..
All Caesar's pr are supposed to be getting wifi. Flamingo was on the list last Feb to be upgraded. Maybe we'll get lucky. 'Course maybe you can bring some equipment and set it up for them.
btw I looked for Boingo hotspots but closest one was Polo Towers, so useless to pay for that.

lol, think they would let me? Would be a nice contract to get, write off all my trips to Vegas...:) There used to be a wifi service you could get that worked both downtown and mid strip and was reasonably priced per week, think I had it twice.. Can't find it anymore, perhaps they went out of business.
I know. I saw your post. Thing is you need a hotspot, that's why I checked out boingo. Only one I could think of. They would do a ton of business if they put 5-6 repeaters up and down the strip.

I've had that discussion with Steve before. It depends what you use it for. If you are like me and primary usage is data, then T-Mobile pre-paid is best. If you actually plan to call home then this may be better. Personally I prefer the T-Mobile option as I can always just use VoIP (Skype/Viber) if I need to call home. $2/$3 a day is much more preferable in my shoes.
I see the sim card is .99 online. Will they ship them up here? Do they stale date the sim card if it is not used/reloaded within a certain period of time?
Actually can't use data on a Blackberry on any US SIM plan as I understand it.. I had hoped to tether my Playbook to my BB phone that way but now I guess I'll have to settle for phone and text for now and find wifi where I can.

You can't use Blackberry data (like BBM) but regular data is fine. So you can still browse on your web, use third party apps etc. (I had a Blackberry as recently as 4 months ago so this is from personal experience)

Really? You're sure..? I have been told by more than one source you can't use data via tethering when using any US sim card..
All in and booked for this! Staying at the Monte Carlo Nov 6 - 14 for $630 as the Flamingo and Harrah's want like a $1000 for 8 nights now. Even IP was close to $500 and it is under major renos now. Plus I like the MC having stayed there before the city centre was built and there is the monorail from Monte Carlo to Bellagio readily available sweet!
I booked 2 free nights at Caesars Windsor for Monday Nov 5 and Wed Nov 14 and the Spirit flight is the following all in for $277 which is the same flight as the Mooses.

Looking forward to the trip all thou sadly TheGrail can't make this one.
What the hell is going on in Vegas the night of the 10th? Just checking last minute flights are a steal but to find a room Saturday night is ridiculous. Not a UFC fan but that would be my first guess.

That's exactly what I am doing... You do need an unlocked GSM phone for that though.. Lucky me, yay Blackberry!
Just found his option aimed at Canadians traveling in the US, sounds promising....

Also from the fine print, looks like they kill your sim card after 90 days of non use.
