The Joker in Vegas
Joker161:
Been far too long. Played far too little this year - I think Stratford was the only major event for me!
No Vegas for the first time in five years due to getting married (all going well!). So obviously I"ve already booked Vegas for next year. It"s either May half term, or straight after the end of term (26th June for me - sorry!). I have a wedding in that May week, so it has to be late June. The big WSOP events were released recently, and I was gutted to see I"ll be missing the Millionaire Maker at the start of June, but was then immediately happy when I found out that they have the Little Drop at the end of June, and this year it has (a) a bigger stack of 5k; and (b) if you pay the extra $111 (which everyone does) you get ANOTHER 5k in chips! I assume it will be one-hour blinds as usual.
So I"m flying out on Sunday 28th June, rest on the 29th (doubtful, with all the poker options around!) and then the 10am start on the 30th June. Already excited!
Anyone else going out at that time? Any advice on hotels? Harrah"s is the cheapest, and probably the most central, but it must be cheap for a reason. I always used to stay at the Imperial Palace, but it"s the LINQ now and more expensive. The Tripadvisor reviews are mixed (is it even finished yet?).
Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and see you at Stratford!

Not sure what Flamingo price is coming in at but Ive stayed there a couple of times and its not too bad you know.....yeah bit tired but for the price I was getting it at I could handle that!!
Have a great NYE and all the best for 2015....hopefully catch up down Rendezvous sometime.

After a two year gap, only one sleep "till Vegas (in the Premier Inn North Terminal, if you"re interested!). The plan is to play the WSOP $1111 event on Tuesday, then the Golden Nugget Main Event ($560) and then the $777 WSOP event. I"ll keep you posted as per previous years (see the rest of this thread) assuming the internet is OK.
Excited!
