Zithal's Vegas Trip / Bachelor Party

ZithalZithal
in Brick & Mortar Casino Talk
Hi everyone,

It took a bit to get the ducks lined up but we have confirmed dates for Vegas. We'll be going Friday, Aug 30, returning Tues, Sept 3.

Let me know if you're interested in going / meeting up while down there.

Now that the dates are out of the way, I'm hoping to get some help with flights, hotel rooms, possible tournaments to play while we're in town, and places we can't pass up to eat or visit.

Thanks for any and all advice!

    I would love to go, but unfortunately I cannot. I know you and your crew will have a blast.

    Obviously, a trip report of what you remember is in order!

    NICE! Love the guide. :)

    The trip is booked. At the moment DrTyore, myself and 4 other friends are heading into Vegas from Aug 30 - Sept 3. Let me know if anyone will be there at the same time and we'll plan to meet up.

    We'll be staying at TI for the duration.

    Now, time to decide which tournaments and beer bars I'm heading to!
  • ZithalZithal
    As we get closer to my first Vegas trip, I've scoured the internets and here are the tournaments I'm most interested in playing. I can't play them all, so am looking for feedack and suggestions for ones I'm missing.

    Pretty much it's either the Venetian or the Wynn, with $55 Donk fests sprinkled in.

    The Bellagio has the "Festa la Lego" classic going on, which means they're only running $500 and $1k tournaments.

    I'm also hoping I've used the PF/SL spreadsheet correctly. :)

    Any Free Night

    10pm - Treasure Island $55 1K guaranteed - 27% Entry/Staff Fee. No posted structure online, but I've read it takes ~4 hours to finish up. Comments: The fees suck, the structure is likley too fast, but seems a fun way to gambol with $55. Value of tournament goes up if <25 people particiapte

    Friday (Aug30)

    7pm - Venetian - $200 Survivor - Tournament stops when 10% of players are left and everyone gets $1,600 - BlindOut: 3.05 hours, PF: 9.27, SL: 5 :: 17% Entry/Staff Fee Comments: Interesting way to distribute the prize pool. Structure is ok.

    Sat

    12pm - Wynn - $225 $25k Guarantee - (Opt $100 Addon) - 14.1% Staff/Entry Fee - BlindOut: 4.38 hours PF:19.22 SL:6 - Comments: 40 minute levels and a great structure. If taking the add-on, 15k v 10k starting stack and PF goes to 25.66. Worth it? This is mostly likely the "big one" that I'll play. The only part that gives me pause is the unlimited $200 re-buys. I wouldn't take one, so does that limit what I can do in the game?

    12pm - Venetian - $300 BlackChip Bounty - Website and Las Vegas Poker Rooms | Las Vegas Poker Tournaments have slight differences. Website says $100 Bounty tournament with 30 min levels. PokerAtlas says 40 minute levels, no mention of bounty.

    (I've also had the Binion's Sat tournament recommended)

    Sun

    12pm Wynn - $200 - $10k Guaranteed. Can't go wrong! 30 min levels, good stucture. $10k stack becomes $11 if you show up early. BO:3.77, PF:14.21, SL:6. Also has an optional $100 add on for 5,000 chips, which changes it to 4.23/17.91

    12pm - Venetian - $200 - 17% Entry/STaff fees. 30 minute levels. BO:3.96, PF:15.68, SL:6. Similar sturcture to the Sat tournament, but likely with less of a prize pool.

    I would do the Sat Wynn. It gets you up to that part of the strip and often there is an overlay because they don't get enough entries for the guarantee, which is probably why they made it a rebuy, which mostly means the worst players might stick in another entry fee!

    The Aria has a daily 1pm and 7 pm for 125$. It's a nice room and good selection of beer. If you are on twitter Aria Poker can be followed and they give updates/ results / numbers of players and money up top. I was there for my first time in May and this was easily the nicest place to play ( even though I didn't play much)
  • ZithalZithal
    That's not too bad at all for a $125. (3.68/13.57/6)

    Quick update.

    We are alive and Rob has just updated his health status to "C-". Trip report will be forthcoming, but expect to hear about "Ontario" the girl and why we are always wearing shoes in the hotel room.

    I'm simply going to expect a lengthy and descriptive trip report upon your return. After a significant sobering period of course.
