I might enter 1 or two $1k WSOP events but mainly I'll be playing smaller casino events and CGs. Just depends how much I can save up, I'm pretty much going to be a hermit for the next 2 and half months to save for this. Want some serious coin..lol

lol I'll try not to get everyone arrested.... haha j/k ofc :P

That's half the fun, have to be locked up in a cell for at least one night, haha

Hi guys,

for everyone asking about WSOP events... yes, there are $1k NLHE events every weekend (similar to the $1k stimulus event last year)...

BUT!

The Golden Nugget itself runs a massive tournament series at the same time called the Grand Poker Series - http://www.goldennugget.com/downloads/Grand_Poker_Series.pdf

Personally, I'm not planning on playing any WSOP events, but obviously if kyle does i'll rail him and enjoy some side games/blackjack at the rio at the same time ;)

My goals for this trip are to have a holiday and relax by the pool with a fruity drink with a little umbrella sticking out of it in my hand the entire time, play some cash games, a few tournaments at the nugget, explore vegas, visit the grand canyon etc. it's my partners first time out of australia (luckily, she's a better tournament player than i am lol) so it's a holiday for both of us in the mecca of poker.

as for the side games, from what i've observed from my holiday earlier in the year, no tougher than side games at australian casino's... the locals obviously target the tourists, and there is plenty of money being thrown around, especially if u play the no max games (like the NL200 at the nugget, buy in from $100 but no max, some guy sat next to me with $1k and sprayed it over several hours lol)

i also want to play cg's in as many different casino's as i can, i've only played at the nugget, binions and the bellagio so far, so list of places i want to play include:

The Venetian
The Aria
Hard Rock
Wynn
Caesars
Bill's Gambling Hall
Luxor

etc....

oh, and i plan on tearing up the vegas nightlife too sit on a 2/4 LHE table, enjoy the $1 drinks, and wooooooooooo

I'm gonna go around the main event, probably a bit earlier.

Don't wanna stay in shitty hotels downtown though

I am thinking of making the trip around mid-end June, hopefully to play in a couple of $1000 or $1500 wsop events. Very interested in golden nugget at $40 a night.

I'll most likely arrive the 23rd, and leave when I'm done with the main event.

Think I'll stay in Wynn/Encore and the Rio, but don't know about that yet

@Yoghi, What is your recommendation for cheap/nice accom on the strip?

For the amount of money you will be spending on cab fare all the time you could just stay on the strip for a little more. Is the Imperial Palace still around? That place was awesome for group rates.

(I'll still be in school during July, but I hope I can join you guys next year!)

Same ihufa, do you have a older sister you could impersonate?

EDIT: Are you allowed in the casinos when your 20? And would you do anythings other than gambling? i.e sports, shopping, etc. I was thinking of coming for a week with a mate and just having a nice holiday. laying by the pool, playing sports, and railing you guys.
