Vegas 2013 - I'm going, help please.
poker_jason:
Okay - Celebrating my 40th Birthday with a trip to Vegas.
Week 1 @ venetian - Tourist (pretty much covered)
Week 2 Palms for weekend and Harrahs for remainder (30th May 7th June) - Poker time.
Have been twice before (not in the summer) so generally familiar with area
So here I'm after the following from you lovely forum members:
1. Who's going (especially during this period)
2. Anyone want to meet up for a few beers
3. Suggestions on things to do (entertainment), bars, clubs, eating, etc.
4. Suggestions on poker schedule, what I should play: Assume $3K bankroll, will look to play cash + tournies.
a. I'm thinking somewhere in the 200-300$ tournies, venetian ds, caesars, rio ds and GN.
b. Which ones offer the better value both in field ability, structure, prizepool and rake/dealers held & entry fee/prizepool.
c. Cash wise where will I get the best 1/2 1/3 games during this period5. I'm not really considering any of the WSOP events, there are 5 events I could look at:
a. Do these all have daily satellites and if so:
i. What's the standard? Do they usually run to multiple seats?
b. Anyone interested in taking a share / Staking? (I might think about an event or two if I can sell about 50%)
c. How do these compare to the Venetian/Caersars/Rio ds mentioned above.6. Anything you can think of.
Cheers
Jason

Not been for couple years but heres my help fwiw!!
1. Who's going (especially during this period)
Not unless I win a package somehow!!
2. Anyone want to meet up for a few beers
See above but defo if manage to get there!!
3. Suggestions on things to do (entertainment), bars, clubs, eating, etc.
Any Cirque du Soleil shows an absolute must....."O" is the best imo and I see it every time Im there!!.....havent seen Beatles or Jackson one yet but sure they pretty amazing too!!
Grand Canyon helicopter tour pretty amazing.
Shooting gun at a range was pretty cool too....cant remember name of where it at!!
So many restaurants/bars/clubs your spoilt for choice depending on what you like....Tao at Venetian nice...amazing cheap steak dinner at El Cortez on Freemont St(absolute ****hole but your only there for the meal!!)....always loved Piano Bar at New York New York but bit of a hike
4. Suggestions on poker schedule, what I should play: Assume $3K bankroll, will look to play cash + tournies.
a. I'm thinking somewhere in the 200-300$ tournies, venetian ds, caesars, rio ds and GN.
For me Ive always loved the Venetian DS tournies....such value and some dreadful play so if u can get through the donks with a half decent stack youve got a great shot at a nice score.
Caesars daily $200 if I remember rightly pretty juicy too but theyve prob got a festival on at same time but not 100% on this.......if running Binions mini WSOP events also a nice option.
c. Cash wise where will I get the best 1/2 1/3 games during this period5.
Only really played cash at Venetian and bit at Flamingo.
I'm not really considering any of the WSOP events, there are 5 events I could look at:
a. Do these all have daily satellites and if so:
i. What's the standard? Do they usually run to multiple seats?
Dont think they have direct sattys into the daily events but you can always play a satty for the ME and use the chips to buy into whatever event you like or another option if they still run them are the SNG"s.....they start at like $100 with top 2 getting paid and you can work your way up the lvls or just stick at the $100"s and keep building up the roll.
b. Anyone interested in taking a share / Staking? (I might think about an event or two if I can sell about 50%)
Might do depending on proposal, past results etc etc....u can only try and see what response u get!!
c. How do these compare to the Venetian/Caersars/Rio ds mentioned above.6. Anything you can think of.
Structure nowhere near as good imo.......I would much rather play early on at Venetian and if get a nice score your set up to play some of the WSOP events and hopefully built enough of roll to get into ME if that is your plan.

Have a good trip Jason.
Regrding sats for wsop events, the rio run loads of single table sats with the lowest buy in being around $135. well worth trying a couple of these to get into a $1k event. If you"re there for the wsop why not give it a go. the standard of the low buy in sats is very poor and you"ll have an above average chance of cashing. They pay out the winners (normally 2 per table I think) in tournament chips that you can use to buy directly into a wsop event.
I know a lot of people knock the wsop events for the low starting stack, but blinds start at 25/25 and run for an hour if you play a $1k you start with 3,000 chips which gives you plenty of play.
Also I think the first $1,000 is guaranteeing a million bucks to the winner. Someones gotta win it ;D
