Minimum $100K including karaoke and "incidental" expenses  Although you could scrimp by on around $2K with less of the aforementioned  |

Flight about £600 hotel (mid range strip) $70 per night lap dancers no idea  but cheaper than Birmingham + buy in for tourneys + a few hundred per day for the tables and slots if you're that way inclined. Budget something for the $1/$2 NL tables you're sure to win your hotel costs with a tight approach. When you going?? |

well i am thinking of traveling from aberdeen or inverness
according to expedia i can use BMI direct to vegas from manchester
thinking of spring time
looking at packages on expedia but no idea on hotels
if i should be on or off the strip or elsewhere
i got a small ISA maturing within the next few weeks for a sum that could buy me into the wsop main event without the expenses so want to know if i can have a reasonable time in vegas for that sort of money

Weather is largely irrelevant in Vegas.

You'll get a much cheaper holiday if you stay downtown Iron and it might potentially be easier for you to get from hotel to hotel there as everything is pretty much under one pedestrianised covered street.
There'll probably still be plenty of games to choose from - Binions, the Golden Nugget and the Plaza are all close by.
Accomodation would be cheap and cheerful in most places downtown, with the exception of the Nugget which is priced similar to the Strip hotels and is a 4* officially.
Oh, and there's a lapdancing club on the same street!
Heidi is the source of all knowledge about downtown Vegas holidays but its definitely worth considering if you're on a tight budget.

Do it Ironside, I'd come with you, but I can't afford it atm. Oh, the missus wouldn't be impressed either.
You'll have a great time whenever you do. Weather is always hot, just have fun.

I'd definetly do it..10k is more than enough, me thinks. Flights during the WSOP seem to be around 700£ (Not that I've looked obviously  ) but I'm sure you could get something cheaper when booking early (like now)..my mrs looked the other day and,Glasgow to Vegas is around 400£.. . Screw the WSOP if you want to go at that time..play some of the fessies they have at Binions (The one with the 200 and 400$ tourneys they had during last years WSOP looked amazing) or just go for the cash games and a bit of fun. I am going to try and seriously qualify for the WSOP but only take the money and play cash over there..if I could win a 10k package and thus have a 10k$ bankroll to play cash with while there I'm sure I could have a blast during the WSOP. why play a 1500 runner 1500$ tourney?..play some 5-10 cash with drunken tourists or tilty poker players instead ...Now just to get my wife on my side ..and allow me a week or two in Vegas for poker playing purposes |

There are a few of us going in april 2008 -- and as with any holiday it can be as expensive as you want it to be. Play cash games to reduce your hotel bill (and build a stash) -- and then play whatever your bankroll allows -- as I say it could be done with $300 a day or $3,000 -- your choice
