Vegas advice

[TheWhisper]

Hi

I quite fancy a trip sometime this year.
Are there any times of year that are better than other?
Is netflights.com the best place for buying tickets?

Cheers

November prob the best time imo, as The Venetian are running another Deepstack Extravaganza that month.

christmas is the cheapest time of the year, but new years is the most expensive

[outragous76]

if you are going in november - check the wsop circuit events @ ceasers - they are usually a few weeks before teh venetian deepstacks

November is a great time of year weather wise too

Deepstacks are planned for 1-25 November. I'll prob head out around the 16th imo.

Hello all, first post.

I've got a Vegas trip lined up for April 2010.  Mainly be boozing for my mate's stag, but wouldn't mind sampling some poker while I'm there.

What I'm asking is, what kind of poker goes on there at that time of year?  And will any of it suit me? I've been playing a while, about 3 years online, not much live, and online I play cash only up to $0.50/$1, $20 STTs, medium MTTs now & then. Can you easily get in a cash game at say $1/$2 over there? What sort of MTT buy-ins are there?

I think I'm a fairly decent player (make about 5K a year), but I know that lack of experience + vast quantities of alcohol is not a great combination for poker playing!

So I accept I will probably lose whatever I sit down with. But all the same, I wanna have a go. Its Vegas baby! Yeah!

Unfortunately poker doesn't run in Vegas in April.

February is no roulette month and in November blackjack only pays out at evens.

To OP
November is a cracking time time go. cheap prices and weather usually in the 20's. I tend to use expedia but you can find decent deals on fat wallet for hotels.
Will be there myself from the 5th Nov for a week.

To Mr Eastwood
April a good time to go for price and weather, usually a bit warmer, 25-30 degrees. Poker 24/7 everywhere. The standard is not great either, I usually manage to pay for my trip whilst there

maybe get a few of your mates together and all play a comp? im not sure how low the regular comps go but im sure there would be maybe a $50 or $100 tourny somewhere

[Rotty]

loads of tourneys in $45-$65 range though many are crap shoots, over $100 and they get better

$1/2 NL available almost anywhere

The monte carlo has a nice $50 tournament at 9.00am normally 20 - 40 players, quite soft - my record is 3 cashes out of 4!

Thanks for all the tips, slight change of plan now, we are going next April
