Poker Forums / The Rail / First time to Vegas..Advice from seasoned visitors

Ladies and Gents..I and the wife will be visiting Vegas next month..I have done a fair bit of research into going and am indebted to Marky147 who's tips on visiting the WSOP earlier in the year saved me a good amount of money.. We are staying at the Flamingo and we plan on playing mainly the the tournies at Aria and the Venetian, these I think give the best blind structure and chips rather than some of the crap shoots that take place at other Card rooms.. I would describe myself as a tourney player rather than a cash player though i intend to play a little cash, and of course a visit to Binions for a game and for a steak.. Basicaslly i'm looking to $150 buy in and wonder have i got it about right on the Aria and Venetian, Binions i'm not so worried about as i just want to say i've played there.. Any advice on better tourneys to play with better buy ins/blind structure.. Any advice on what not to miss whilst them from a poker players point of view.. Oh yes want to go shooting..any views on the best range.. Any other advice gratefully recieved.. Thanks in advance for any suggestions..

No worries got the flamingo for about 380 for 8 nights the online discount was 30% through smarter vegas , and looked into all manner of flights, with my favourite choice being flying via san franciso with a short connecting flight to vegas against the long connecting flights from the eastern seaboard that i think was with United for about £1180 return...However the wife won with the direct virgin flights...so that as they say was that £400 extra or £100 each each way...

Dont post much.. But can i thank Marky147 for posting this, his links and info have saved me a sizeable amount of money on hotel costs.. First time ever trip to Vegas going in October staying at the Flamingo...looking forward to it so much.. Money saved on hotel means we will now fly direct .. Makes sense..

I played a game once a few years ago and the chat got really personal and insulting, and ended up with me saying something that i am, to be fair ashamed of , even to this day, it was a two way street and i had been quite restrained up to the point the other player just pushed me to far, but my response to him was unjustified, it got worse when i knocked him out on the bubble to the point that he started stalking my tables over a period of time and i reported it all to the site, who took appropriate action. Since then my mantra has been always to be pleasant and ignore abuse as you can get wrapped up in it and it detracts from the game
abuse is just not worth it..
