Title: Vegas in January Post by: Pyso on October 14, 2010, 03:07:21 PM Hi Peeps, I am thinking of going to Vegas for my 40th birthday in January along with some DTD regulars - does anyone know of any good flight/accomodation deals for around then?
Also, best cash games, best card room etc? I'm not really into coin-flipaments but my mates love them so a mixture of the two would be good. I hear the Venetian has a decent deepstack tourney. Never been before for poker so I'm a bit green about where to go. Will want to play equivalent 50p/£1 or £1/£2 games with competitive rake - not bankrolled after flights for much else but even at these stakes I would hope to have some fun and hopefully win a few dollars. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Pyso Title: Re: Vegas in January Post by: The Camel on October 14, 2010, 03:10:47 PM If you are flexible with dates try and go for Superbowl Sunday.
The whole town is buzzing all weekend. Incred atmosphere for the game, you'll never experience anything like it. Title: Re: Vegas in January Post by: AndrewT on October 14, 2010, 03:22:59 PM Here's a recent Vegas advice thread - there are others about if you search.

This sites good for hotels, they change daily based on which site has rebates, I usually check daily until I see a good price to about 5 weeks pre - then you need to get on. Try fatwallet as well, they have "card deals" you can just get the player card when you arrive if you see a good one

What kind of dessert has fkin snow? Keith's right, even if u don't like American football (I don't really), the whole atmosphere will be great. I watched it in New York with Karl Mahrenholz n Nick Gibson a few years ago and we even got signed up to play in the halftime game which was basically held in the middle of a road. They don't seem to have much need for props in that game tho
