[tikay]

all your people thas as been to vegas if there was 3 shows that u would watch again what would they be

No trip to Vegas is complete unless you visit these three - all  highly recommended.

Atomic Testing Museum

Boulder City - Hoover Dam Museum (suggest two visits, it is awesome)

Las Vegas Natural History Museum

Literally no idea there was a Natural History Museum.

It's now on the list.

Plenty of good stuff here....

Pretty sure I bumped into Flushy & LilDave in that place.

Karabiner is always there, but he's an Exhibit.

Were Flushy and LilD playing "over or under" on the age of fossils?

Then Tikay walked in and they both took the over.

I obviously need more caffeine for not seeing that coming.

Longy always owns me. The boy is too good.

I wouldn't worry. They all took the overs on me. Look where that got them

Doobs,
I'd recommend checking the hotels before booking a flight.  The reason I say this is the EDC is on that weekend, and there is already a pretty nasty spike for room rates around the 22nd which will presumably only get worse.  Last time I looked, there were still some decent prices for arriving the Sunday (23rd) with the £k PLO8 starting on the Tues.

Cheers Simon.

I think I'd still like to get there on at least the Saturday.  That way I can play at least the Sunday crapshoot.  Otherwise I might end up playing just a couple of WSOPs and the trip doesn't seem worth it. 

Is the Rio so bad for a couple of nights?  At least it is handy for the first game.

Benn out of action for a few days....  Did have a LOL that a couple of people I sent the wetnwild link to didnt open it as they thought it was a tittybar and NSFW...

Rio - have stayed there, didn't like it.  Large room, big fridge, bad room service, bad food options, too much apathy in getting off property and onto strip.

HOWEVER - on a cheap rate for 2 days while you are playing a tourny makes total sense imo.  The rooms are clean and tidy - not 5* granted, but being able to pop back to the room on break etc is very handy.  And assuming you don't bust early, there's no need to venture off property... room-->Amazon room --> room, perfect.

O
Love
I have a very soft spot for Mystere, but have seen that an awful lot, so would prolly try a new one like Zarkana.

[KarmaDope]

Would also recommend the Neon Museum.

We did this on our last visit and was awesome.

Hi Marky, 

I am going April 26th, Vegas virgin so cannot wait

Im only playing small ball and wondered whats the best way to take the money out there only around $1500 or so , but is it best to get on a pre paid card or would you just take the cash?

Also me and mate are booking everything a month before, is it better to get a deal for flights + hotel, or individually. We aren't really staying anywhere nice just somewhere for he 2 hour kip here and there.

[KarmaDope]

For $1500 just take it in cash, not worth getting prepaid card.

Would always recommend booking flight and hotel separately as you can get it comped that way - but if you find a very good deal online for the two then by all means take it.

All this

I would book my flight now too if there aren't any great deals about, as I wouldn't envisage that they're going to be dropping in price between now and your trip.
