Unfortunately Des can't make Vegas, and as somebody had to go! I look forward to being there to look after all our prizewinners/ travellers who we hope will have a fabulous time - be it your first visit or if you're a seasoned Las Vegas veteran! Lucy Amos and Leigh Wiltshire will also be in Vegas, and we'll be providing a live blog/update on the fortunes, or otherwise, of all our travellers who won entry to the WSOP Colossus via our Season 10 celebratory Destination Vegas promotion - we'll also be reporting during the APAT North American Championship being played at the Golden Nugget Casino in Downtown Fremont Street on Wednesday 7th June. And it's in Downtown Fremont Street that we'll be staying for the week - at the Four Queens Hotel right in the thick of the action - with the Fremont Street Experience - the best place to enjoy free, live music in Las Vegas with three outdoor stages, a rotating schedule of non-stop talent performing music from just about every musical genre you can imagine - and at weekends the party atmosphere is electric - even Lucy and Leigh can let loose and dance like nobody's watching! And let's not forget the iconic Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino, and Binions... WHERE IT ALL STARTED... hard to believe that when the WSOP began back in 1970, there were fewer than 50 poker tables in the entire city of Las Vegas, and Binion's Horseshoe, the host casino, did not even have a poker room. The contest that would come to decide poker's first world champion was held inside an alcove about the size of an ordinary hotel room. Thirty or so gamblers shoehorned themselves around a few poker tables. They didn't know it at the time, but they were making poker history. | (http://www.apat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/viva-vegas-4Queens.jpg) |

Looks like a great turn out. I'll be there 3rd to 16th at 4 queens too , can't wait! :)
Pretty much sorted for this now apart from the $$$$, that will be sorted next week, tbh, build up has been a bit subdued, but just had a read of all my Vegas trip reports and now I cannot wait.
As stated in the blog will be arriving slightly late for the Grosvnor welcome party as we are hitch hiking the last 1000 miles, anything to save a bit of cash.
Actually Landing in Vegas 2/6/17 20:30 arriving at Linq soon after, booked an extra night so should be able to meet up on Freemont St on the Friday, leaving 10/6/2017.
No mention of Middlesbrough FC allowed please, just recovering from our abysmal effort this season.
Counting down the days. UTB.

Fancy watching the CL final in the early hours of the 3rd Brian?
Hi Brian, I'm staying in Westgate until the Saturday then 6 nights in SLS so I'll prob need to leave my luggage somewhere before the footy.

Ok, keep in touch via here or Facebook and will get something sorted, btw, enjoy Liverpool next week, it shoulnt be too toxic as most fans had given up the ghost many games ago, I would imagine it will be a good day out, football aside, the away support is usually good for the day out as you know.
I think Stu or Matty has my mobile numberas well if you want to get it off one of them.
