Vegas Tournaments?

[ifm]

HOLLA!!!!

I'm off to Vegas (AAYYYAARR!!) on Wednesday for the Ricky Hatton fight, spending 6 nights at Circus Circus and seeing as it's my first trip to Vegas (AAYYYAARR!!) i know nothing about the place.
There was a tourny guide on here a while back but i can't find it (and it may not be current anyway), soooooo anyone wanna give me some idea of where to go/what to see, in fact anything at all about Vegas (AAYYYAARR!!) it will be greatly appreciated.

No place like it m8 - Seriously you will love it!!

As for what to do? Pokerwise, easy money to be made at cash games also get comped for food and drink!

Tournie wise, I believe The Wynn has a nice f/o on daily - good structure

Shop around though, so so much choice.

As for site seeing, you just have to stand outside the Fontana Bar at The Belagio and watch the fountain display. Also the top of the Rio gives you a great view. (Cant remember the name of the Bar)

Taxi Tip - only use small bills and make sure you say what the bill is BEFORE you hand it over - found plenty that will rip you off if you give them a large bill.

Ive only been once though so I am sure many others will give you more suggestions.

most important 3 words you need when getting into a taxi in vegas- "spearmint rhino please".


oh and don't go off the strip.

Have fun over there, I think you come back the day I fly out, and I was going to offer to buy a blue-nose a drink as well.

I think the week your out there the adult expo is on, apparantly all the major xxx stars will be there. Might be worth a look.

Keep us updated with regards to the poker so i've got an idea for when I'm out there.

If my Wynn Poker Room thing isn't out of date, then they do a $300+$30 tournament with $3k guaranteed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at noon. 3k chips and 45 minute levels, on Friday at noon, it's a $500+$40 tournament with $5k gtd. Same structure.

Go the Bellagio in the morning and SNG your way into their afternoon tourney.  After you win your seat go to Noodles in the Bellagio for lunch, great Chinese food and reasonably priced.

[I KNOW IT]

The Voodoo lounge at the Rio is an absolute must, best bar in the world IMO.

Go to any cardroom and pick up an issue of Cardplayer. All daily tournys are listed in the back. The bigger tournys have 1 table satellites earlier in the day.

For an inexpensive show, try one of the comedy club shows , at a couple of casinos (forgot names) its about $30 and a great  night.

If you are awake on Sunday afternoon, you must go to REHAB at the Hard Rock Casino, starts 12pm. Its like a massive MTV party where everyones drinking, dancing and partying all day long by 2 lagoon shaped swimming pools(another must) I think its about $40.

If you want to try and get to the weigh in of the fight, you will have to go v early, maybe need ticket too.

If you do feel like going to a show, which you should, there is a discount ticket booth located on the strip, looks like a giant Coca Cola bottle, upto 50% off .

The hotel will probably have Show guide etc magazine in room ,worth reading.


Theres really only 1 hotel down town of any quality, the G Nugget, but take a look in Binions just for the history. Theres a free light show over freemont st at about 10pm every night, worth seeing once.

For eating, the Buffets anywhere are the best value for money without a doubt, the choice is endless. cost on average $30 - $40.

Shopping, The best value for money without doubt. Premium Outlets located close to downtown, ask any taxi. The cheapest in designer goods. another must see.

DO NOT use your mobile over there, about £5 a min. Its worth going to a 7 11 and buying an american one for about $40.
U will need one as it can be manic when a big fights in town and easy to lose ur mates. calls cost about 10c a min on those.

Have a great time mate
