I'd like to think I'd do that too, but I'd have to play at least one $1500 event just to say I have played in it.

See you there then Cheesy

 I will definetly be going over this year..even if I don't win a 10k package online. I might play the 2-7 or PLo event but will only be playing cash otherwise while I'm there...the mrs knows and is OK with it (will probably come along)..so just a matter of making some poker moneys...or save up a bit of the old wages..

Maybe consider the Orleans Iron, plenty of poker at affordable cost's, excellent array of facilities, then when you want to get to the strip for a bigger game or touristy things, free shuttle service. they have a good choice of eateries, cinema etc.
Where some of these flight prices have come from amazes me, the last time we went which OK it was earlier this year, we only payed 362 for BOTH of us in flights. One can fly for Xmas thee directfrom Man, for (last time i priced it) 258 pp.

The way prices are at the moment, the Venetian is the only place to stay imo. The poker room is well spaced out and easily accessible, plus two tournaments every day, all around the $200 mark bar the $500 on Saturday.

Shuttle service is good, goes to middle of the strip every 20 minutes and has a wheelchair bit.

Also, the titty bar next door to Orleans is blonde recommended.

Ironside, try looking on airline-networks.co.uk, this is a site I use to get a baseline price, and then shop around to try and beat that, often going to the hotels site and the air carriers site independently will work out cheaper.

Have a good one

Iron,
For convenience we tend to stay in the Mirage. Its central and you can get to most places quickly by cab.
ceasars is next door, altho in a chair you might want to use a Cab. Venetian is stright across the street. you can get a monorail to Treasure Island.
Poker rate is Daily Room Rates:
$109 (Sunday -Thursday)
$149 (Friday & Saturday) altho they charged us $199.

To get poker rate they expect you to play in their room but its always busy and they cater a spread of cash and even SnG.

I have a contact if you want it PM me and ill send you the details.
Also try this site its good for room rate info.

Im off home now but will check later if I can help more.

Good timing for this to be bumped.

We'r looking to go for 4-5 weeks in summer 2009.

Any idea on amount a money that will be required for general food/going out/touristy stuff for that amount of time.

We can get a lot of food in to make as we'r renting a house.
