Vegas Trip Information for anyone looking to go this year.

Hoping for some guidance.

I arrive in Vegas on a Sunday evening and want to play WSOP event (collosus) at 10am the next day. I assume I have to buy in at Rio, am I best going Sunday evening or Monday morning? If Monday how early do you get there? With structure, I want to be in at the start....

Help appreciated

Sunday evening by a mile. Queues will be out the door Monday morning. TBH its gonna be bad both times but I'd get off the plane, check in and head straight to Rio. Buy in then back for sleep!

Wynn will sort ITINs, too.

Got my whole TIN now, turns out they had sent it to my agent.  When lightning strikes twice I should be fine, even at the Golden Nugget.

Nice one. Should be funny seeing their sour faces when they have to hand over all the dough.

Las Vegas Golden Knights nearly booked for The Stanley Cup Finals

Will be a great way to spend time in the bars & watching the games. If they win it, it will be truly historic. They're already my #2 team, lol.

Cashiers for buy in is available 24/7 you need a players card  and I.d
Later at night or early in the morning
Realistically it’s quiet till 9 am then the am tourney starts n sit gos resume  after ten am I would suggest is  getting busier
Queues for toilets at break time are hideous so nip out before or wait till they start filing in
Anything you buy at the Rio is overpriced so take a few nibbles ? I use Jordan cereal bars

I see the EDC is on now, a month earlier than usual

From 31st May 2019 Virgin passengers can fly from London Heathrow to Las Vegas.  This route replaces the current Gatwick to Las Vegas flight.

The Las Vegas flight will be operated by a Boeing 787 with 31 Upper Class seats, 35 Premium seats and 192 economy seats.

Weird it will be using a Dreamliner, as Vegas is generally too hot in the summer for a B787 to operate properly. It's why the Norwegian service only commences in November and stops again in March.

Could be down to the seat load though, as Norwegian pack them in and VA will have significantly less seats per plane.

It is, yes.

As it happens, Norwegian is likely to be owned by BA (well, IAG, almost the same thing) this time next year, if the rumours are correct.

Using Man City tactics; if you can't beat them, buy them.

344 seats vs 264. When max take off weight is ~250 tonnes the weight of 80 people plus luggage is going to be significant.

Knew it was before WSOP, so wouldn't affect anyone going for WSOP.

It is if they are all as plump  - & I'm being kind when I say "plump" - as Hhy.
