Vegas Trip Information for anyone looking to go this year.

[Marky147]

What's the best way of booking two separate hotels as part of your trip?

I'm looking at about 12-14 nights and will likely want to spend about half of the trip each in two places. Is there a particularly good way of doing this beyond the obvious of selecting one hotel and paying and selecting a second hotel and paying?

For instance, is it possible to combine the flights with one of them for a saving?

I have some Virgin vouchers (jokes on your own time, please) which would go nicely with the flights. Is it possible to use them if booking through a third party site, or might I be better off booking economy and paying for the upgrade at check in (am hoping to go PE, particularly out)?

Any single posts with more questions about?



When I stayed on the strip, I would always have a couple hotels, but I've never had any of the vouchers you speak of.

You can usually select the dates you require your hotel, if you're booking flight/hotel with the 3rd party site, and then add the other nights yourself separately.

Can't see you'd be able to use your vouchers going that way though, so I would hazard a guess you're best off just booking the flights with your vouchers, and then booking the hotels separately at the best price available.

Regarding flying PE, surely it's best to fly economy on the way out when morale is at its highest?

Even when i've not done my bollocks, I'm still miserable on the way home... Whereas on the way out I would happily sit on the floor!

PE gets off the plane earlier and last time I went that way it saved a good hour in customs. Last thing I want after a two hour journey to the airport, a two hour wait at the airport and an eleven hour flight is another two hours in a queue.

Also, legroom ftw. Fly out PE and then you can always upgrade to Upper on the way back with your winnings. Haven't been able to do that one, yet. Must be due...

When you're only there a few days it's best to save that hour

I'm only 5ft 10, so don't really suffer that much and always get the aisle seat anyway.

Horses for courses, but I definitely would never take it on the way out.

If you get an economy seat upstairs you get off before premium economy!

Most of the planes have been upgraded now and economy seats have just a bit more room than the older ones ,at 6 ft 1ish I find there's enough room in them now

Paul at Binions said they would have something soon, but I don't think Caesars is doing anything this year.

Fwiw I think Caesars are moving their series to PH.

Didn't even know that PH had a proper poker room, but will keep an eye out for anything no 2p2.

Really tough to beat this comp for a fall back:

One of the nicest places to play, too.

Chris from the Planet Hollywood poker room posted this on AVP yesterday:

Ph Poker will be hosting PhPS V from 6/6/14 to 7/6/14. Schedule TBA.

Remember he's American, so they put the month first - it's not just a 2 day festival

Top work Mark, thank you, that's a lovely schedule for those that don't play NLH. 

Just need the Binions schedules now, & from that, I can try to plan.

I am also interested in what the Orleans has to offer, they seem to specialise in Omaha variants.   

[Marky147]

Nothing from the Orleans at present, but I think they ran a very short festival from the end of May last year.

Looking at the Google file, it has been allocated a spot in the GN column, so I guess they're presuming it will be on the same dates again.
