Vegas Trip Information for anyone looking to go this year.

Golden Nugget have released their "Summer Series" schedule, but only via Twitter on a miniscule photo that I can't read as it is too small. It is not on their website yet.

You can see the schedule (if you eat a lot of carrots) on their Twitter page....

@GNLVpoker

If you can read that, well done you.

I particularly like that they've put the date the correct way round. 13 June looks far more refined.

23 June PLO8, tikay? 11am start should scare all the kids off.

If I knew how to zoom, I certainly would.

11am start? Can't think of a better time to start, to be honest, that's just about the nut starting time for a Vegas tourney for me.

It also has V&A which is one of my fav places to sneak off to for solo munching.

I've been to Vegas many times but I'm not aware what this piece of code is a euphemism for.

Ahh.. WP

Booked flights and 22 nights (!) at Jockey Club 6 June to 28 June, third visit at this resort. For those of you that like self catered non smoking resorts it didn't appear to have any dates when you search their website or search for Jockey Club on the usual search engines.

However, if you search for "Jockey Resort Suites" it appears available.

Looking at GN schedule looks like I will mostly be there

Eddie Izzard just confirmed two gigs in Vegas, June 12 and 13 at The Palms.

It's not a flat fee.... the more miles you transfer the larger the fee will be.  You can go on the site and click "transfer miles" and play around with the numbers without needing to commit to anything or phone them.

There's ~180 pages of good advice herein

How price sensitive is the group?  If money is an issue, you can definitely do things in advance like book show tickets (and pay for them) now, or pre-pay your hotel now so that there is more spending  $$ to have fun with there.

Above all, remember it is the desert and it is hot, drink as much water as you can every day, it still won't be enough.

A nice meal is probably a good idea at some point, depending on tastes, something that would be an occasion and not just fuelling up.

As for the rest of the time, I always say that the best way is to find your own Vegas.  Explore, do what you find that looks good and if you aren't having fun, move on.

You might like to think about if you want to be able to keep in touch with each other during the day (mobile call costs/Wi-Fi/meet ups)

And most importantly, stay on strip or under the canopy of Fremont Street, don't wander off further afield than that and enjoy.

Where is this restaurant ? A few are flying to Vegas for stag party in April. I cannot wait as I havent been for 7 years.
Lake Mead is on the itinerary as well as a table booked at Hakkasan. Any other suggestions much appreciated.

I had something a little smaller at Andiamo, which is an Italian steakhouse @ The D, and it was very good.

Think it came to about $1k including tip, which was reasonably priced for 6 of us, especially when we had about 6 bottles of wine, too

[Simon Galloway]

Healthy food eh?  Who ordered the Brontosaurus chop??
