Cheers all for the advice on accom/location, think I'll just bite the bullet and pay a bit more for location, I guess it won't matter so much if I'm running good!

LA sounds like it's got some good action but I'll have to save this for another trip I think.

Gl to all going out there this year and those lucky lot that are already there!

Thanks for all your efforts guys, I really appreciate it! Definately got a better idea now. Tbh, some of the prices are a bit higher than I imagined but prob because I hadn't realised how much it goes up at weekends! Thinking maybe I'll have to do a few all nighter sessions over the weekend period and catch up with sleep during the week! Lol

Just got back from playing so gonna check out some of the places u suggested tomorrow day time, I'm guessing it's much better/cheaper to book before u go, but do places ever offer last minute deals when you're out there? Eg if they have rooms that they know won't be filled for a night or 2?

Cheers

Hi all,

never used this site before but a poker buddy of mine highly recommended it as he thought someone could help or at least point me in the right direction

I went to Vegas for the first time last year but this was with some of my university mates so it turned in to more of a drinking holiday rather than poker playing. However, on 6th Feb I'll be joining a large group of poker mates this time for 9 days at Harrah's casino/hotel but I'm looking to stay a lot longer, either until the end of feb/early march or maybe as long as the end of march. I'm generally a cash game player, i make consistent profit at £1/1 and £1/2 (blinds) tables in various casinos in England.

I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions/recommendations for cheap accommodation in walking distance of the main strip in Vegas? I'm not too fussy about it being modern etc, just that its a clean and a safe place to stay. I've also heard people talk about poker player rates at some of the casinos but don't know who genuinely have the best deals and how much it would normally cost per night/week? basically, what a good and bad deal would be on this basis? or are there any alternatives i could look at?

I was also wondering if anybody knew which of the casinos would be best to play $2/5 cash games? I haven't played this limit before so i wanted to avoid being dropped in at the deep end with all the local Vegas sharks for at least my first few sessions!

Sorry if some of this has already been mentioned in the thread but it would take me several weeks to get through 125 pages, especially as I have a reading age of 8 years old!

any help would be much appreciated!

thanks in advance
