blonde poker forum

Hi All

I'm going to Vegas on June the 11th for a month until the end of the main event

I was thinking of some Blonde possible meets /drinks at some stage ?

Just had a look at the WSOP schedule and its the $111.111 high roller on the 28th of June and figured not many Blondes would be playing so added to the fact its my birthday (  :) ) I thought this could be as good a day as any for a potential meet  ?

If anybody has any ideas of which venue or when before or after the 28th( or whenever) then input obviously welcome.

Also impromptu arrangements , info and updates whilst we are over there could be posted here ?

Thanks in Advance and GL to everybody out there

Fraser

I'm leaving on the 11th as well.

11am from Manchester on US735 to Philadelphia and onwards from there.

I'm going solo so I'll be knocking about looking for things to do if anything is organised.

This thread can burn

Oh and Gl Fraser!

Every night from 9 pm in the tilted kilt ?
Or shoe bombs if a Brit makes a final table ?

Good Stuff Pads


I'm like you Cos ,not a big drinker and going out there to work but I will have a couple if not involved with Poker  ( certainly no shoes bombs )


Maybe hook up then Simon


We over lap then Trevor , cheers and hope you run well whilst over there


Manchester too but flight straight there ,I'm sure everybody can meet up if we all communicate


My first two weeks are going to be solid grind however not adverse to the odd bottle if busted

So unless we change venue or times (obv highly likely ) its the Tilted Kilt at 9pm on the 28th of June (or every night )    :)

I have never even thought of booking pool chairs.  What time do the pools get busy?  If I go out at 9 am I struggling for a seat say.  Am at wynn/encore this time if that makes a difference. 

Was thinking of making more effort this year to get outside especially as a lot of the plo8 events start later. 

Given the lifestyle , pretty hard for poker players to book anything especially an early morning rise   :)

First day would take odds on I am up at 5 am.  Doesn't matter what time I go to bed.  Normally I spend 5 hours trying to get to sleep.  Was thinking I should just get up and hit pool and buffet.  Not sure on the order.  Will be good vibes before omaha at 12 rather than feeling grouchy because I spent 5 hours trying to sleep.

Is the tilted kilt right on the strip?

It's in that new complex/high street area between Flamingo and the Linq, if I recall correctly.

One of those revered, opulent establishments with snooty sommeliers and streaks of sauce on the side of a sprig of parsley for your main.

If you enjoy the occasion, the restaurant has a calendar, which patrons may choose to purchase, in order to remind themselves of the fine dining experience at later, opportune junctures.

If you like the way Americans believe Scots are like Groundskeeper Willie, this is the place for you. Kmac would love it. :D

In 20 odd visits I've never booked em either but the facility to do so is at the Rio as its my gf who will be going with me she's a sun worshipper so I've booked 2 so if anybody else s mrs is there and they wanna use mine welcome to do so if I'm not there
They are $12 a day or 28 for the dj pool party Thursday to Sunday
At the nugget they are pretty much all taken up by 945/10 am



I thought the tilted kilt was in the Rio ?? In lost vegas by Pauly ?? It's mentioned ??
We will be in a bar near the wsop I guess

Tilted Kilt in Rio closed it's doors years ago.  It changed to McFaddens or similar, and I think even that has closed since.

Some pool areas are pretty small, get super packed and reserving a chair makes sense.  Encore, particularly the quieter "European pool area with no kids, never had a problem getting a lounger.

24th June til 13th July, my birthday is on the 30th so Im in for some sort of meet

Well we had a starting point...looks like we still need a venue(s)  

Suggestions  ?

If you are just looking for a meet-up spot within the Rio, one or two drinks while everyone rolls up, the Hooker Bar is fine.

If you are actually looking for somewhere to go for an evening, I'd be looking outside of the Rio.

Cheers Simon ,Happy to go with majority so maybe post suggestions pre Vegas or actually over there

Hooker Bar in The Rio sounds Cool...we can decide from there if we want move on

You'll want to move on :)

It's just a video poker bar open area on the casino floor.  So called (ldo) because most of the seats are taken by brasses pretending to play VP.  It's an easy place to chill for 30 mins, can pretend to play VP yourself and get a free beer too fwiw.  But once you have all met up, it isn't a place you are going to want to stay at.

Depending on what night it is, and how lazy your group is, here are some options, all pretty easy, nothing too high end or clubby.

1) Jump in a limo, go downtown, bar hop until you fall over.  Cheap, old Vegas, all close together.  Start in 777 Brew Pub in Main St station and then 1 beer in each along Fremont St until you piss yourselves.
2) Jump in a limo, Town Square, Blue Martinis, Yard House, couple of other bars too.  A chance to "mingle" with locals.
3) Head to new Linq area and check it out.  Not often I will say anything in favour of IP, but their bottle bar (TAG) is pretty decent for a proper drink, (i.e. you'll get kicked out if you ask for a Bud or a Coors Lite...)

You could ofc pick one of the numerous trendy bars, but ymmv on whether you can hear each other :)

I'm going to be over there between 24th June and 11th July. Staying in Tuscany Suits near the Linq. I will check this thread while over there for any updates/meets etc.

 

Cheers Simon Again ,so still no nearer a confirmed meet point   :)

Will have to start in The Hookers Bar then , anybody over there post on here with ideas

I'll be there 1st - 8th July, Up for a meet if anyone is around that week, my first visit so I'll do the following :)

Only a 10 K and 1500 plo in the Rio today so assuming not many playing in those Simons Rail should be a good meet up point today  👍

Could get noisy  ☺

Have you sorted the table for Afrojack at Omnia yet, then?

What's the plan?

 ;bump;

Just seeing if there's still interest for an evening meet up.

Fraser, any plans? Time? Location? Agenda? Dress code?


The latter is clearly important. What one might wear to

Thanks in advance. Oh and tell tikay he's invited but must leave his bok boots at home.

Me and the old man fly out today and keen to head along depending how things go.  Will check here for where/ when etc. dads always wanted to meet his hero tikay! :D

Any news? Fuck me is hot!

112f (44.4C) today. Expected to warm up later in the week.

Hi Simon /Guys

a meet  up is all poker permitting I guess

playing the 5K turbo shortly so will post table number here if you're in the Rio later

Think we tried doing it a few times over the years, and it just never works out with so much going on all over the place.

Best of luck in the 5k, Fraser!

yeah cheers Mark

think you're right..breaks/dinner plus any other impromptu meets seems to be the way of it  ☺

Will pop over to the rio later to reg for te 1k tomorrow and see who's about

With the $10k PLO final stages threatening to include two big British names, anyone thinking of meeting up today want to prepare to head over to the Rio this evening.

2pm start with three tables left, so I'd expect a final table to be something near dinner time.

If there is a decent meeting place anywhere in Vegas, a Brit FT rail is it. Here's hoping.
