G3LBOY, janc, nosey-p and Monkeyman playing in Vegas (Nov 07)
nosey-p:
Just got back from Vegas, 5 hours sleep in 3 days don't you just love those flights.
Since Mrs P went with me (who is a non gambler) they were little chance for me to play. No Black Jack, no Roulette and only one game off poker yes that's right I said one. I played the $150 game at Ceasar's, 97 runners 5000 chips 40 minute clock (no 150/300 level). First break I had doubled up, second break I had doubled up again. At which point I decided to stretch my legs were I stumbled on the Pu$$y Cats (WOW) after returning to the poker room ten minutes late, we was down to about 55 (top nine get paid). Picked up some good hands, Ace's twice, Kings once, Queens once and AK three times all within about 30 hands. At this point was in the top 5 out off 20. After that I was total card dead.
To cut a long story short, I folder my way into the money, finally finishing in 5th place for $800, going out on 88 v A9 A on the flop. I could have been more aggressive around the bubble if I was willing to gamble and go for the win (How do you play AJ UTG when you no that someone behind you will go all in?)
Congratulations Neil, sorry we did not meet up, another time maybe?
I will Just leave you with one last word PU$$YCAT-DOLLS

N1 Wayne. A great result in the one tourney you played.
Defo gotta love those flights. I honestly thought I was going to be OK jetlag-wise as we were getting 4 or 5 hours sleep each night and power-napping for 1 or 2 hours during the day (UK time). That was until I nipped back to bed for a "quick hour" this morning and woke up 4 hours later.
Maybe by late "09 (if the US is still above ground and the $ is still as weak as my stomach after all those Vegas Buffet breakfasts), APAT will be offering a Poker-Only Holiday to Vegas at preferred rates (as we could book as a large group). I would not be adverse to playing entirely in front of the Pu$$yCats but, although impressed and delighted to be distracted by cleavage, thighs and high heels, I"d happily trade them, the jetlag, the high rakes and ridiculous SNG terms of MGM Grand, the smokey rooms and the constant clanging and bleeping of slot machines for a week long series of APAT deepstacks at DTD or similar.

I have just been looking at flights for next October/November; the cheapest I could find was £625 (direct). Can anybody help with the best way to get cheap flights?

IceLolly : £409 Return going out on 15th Oct back 19th Oct direct from Manchester (through CheapFlightSeats.com)
After pricing our break there at £2498 on ThomasCook.co.uk last January, we got it for £1345 through Expedia.co.uk and, having just been on looking again, I"m getting similar deals for mid-September next year - £600/£750 per person including connecting flights with BA from Glasgow to Gatwick including accommodation.
A few guys from my golf club are just back from a Golf Holiday in Arizona. They went half price compared to what they were quoted in the UK by booking through a US golf tours company. It may be a bit risky but I might be inclined to go looking for US based travel agent if I were you.

1. Join Virgin Flying Club.
2. Buy 2000 Virgin Miles for £45 - enough for a discounted flight - you will be able to save upto £200.
3. Just keep checking the Virgin Atlantic website, prices change all the time. I wouldn"t expect to pay more than £300 at that time of year.
