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) Unfortunately, not me
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.I can recommend The Wynn"s $200 comp and Caesars simply as a great venue - also the ALL VEGAS POKER APP for your phone - it"s got every comp at every location[/color]
b. Which ones offer the better value both in field ability, structure, prizepool and rake/dealers held & entry fee/prizepool. Player ability is surprisingly poor everywhere; check AVP for all structure & fee details; prizepool is trickier to assess without knowing the Guarantees
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

poker_jason:
Firstly, thanks for your responses and good luck with the ISPT events if your entering, (another APAT event I"m missing due to holidays/other plans).

"WSOP Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em Tournaments Every Day May 29 - July 14:at the Rio" - probably end up playing at least one of these.

"The Aria has always had really juicy 1/3 whenever I"ve been there." Haven"t been in/played there so probably give it a spin. Any particular time good?

"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!!" Love Booked

"Grand Canyon helicopter tour pretty amazing." Did this last time, gonna pass this time unless I hit a big score within 2 weeks (not likely as not expecting to play between now and the trip).

Shooting gun at a range was pretty cool too....cant remember name of where it at!!" This is on the to-do list  :)

Glenn - Thanks for the links: had all these on my research list. Greats minds eh?? And good luck while you are there.

I have selected a range from Venetion DS, Rio DS, and CP. Will also look at the sats for WSOP when I get to the Rio. Looking pretty booked out and wishing I had another 2 weeks on the booking. Oh well always 2015...

Gonna see if I can book 50% of action for the 1500$ Millionaire Maker.

Finally anyone there at the same time drop me a line and i"ll buy you a beer...

Cheers

Jason

Enjoy mate.....feedback on Love would be good to know!!......if youve done Grand Canyon once bit of waste of $$ to do again imo......better off using $$ to enter another tournie!!

Like most of Vegas, the standard is soft whenever. However I"d say grab a seat around the end of the Cirque showings. It seems to attract a few dealers from other cardrooms (and they"re often pretty gambley the ones I"ve come across).
