Vegas, must do's.

Is it just me that thinks the Grand Canyon is way overrated? I reckon I can easily think of 10 places in the US alone that have been more impressive with regard to natural scenery imo.

Ofc I would still go, because it is still worth it, just way overhyped.

1/2 day helicopter trip way to see canyon

I really like going up the eiffel tower and watching the bellagio fountains at night

Whats temp like this time of year? Will it be warm enough to have a dip at say 10 in the morning?

[Simon Galloway]

Easter is quite early this year.

At worst, you will be fine for a quick dip.  At best, you will be fine all day.  Depends largely on how windy it is, air temp should be fine.

Depends on what you mind as well.

I was perfectly within my comfort zone to go for a dip first thing when I went in November - but I saw one person swimming in a wetsuit because of the same temperature.

[Simon Galloway]

Yeah I was assuming "for the average Brit" - they guy from Arizona has the wetsuit on in the summer too.

I don't mind the swim in November either, get in, do some lengths, pool to yourself.  Just a couple of lifeguards huddled together for warmth thinking "those Brits are bonkers"

Mind you, when you get out, you disappear pretty quickly, no drip drying by the pool....

Swimming, wetsuits reminds of a mate who went to his first Iron man sesh at the local lake, everyones gearing off to reveal wetsuits, mates stood there in his trunks.

What time you planning on playing your poker tournies? In Vegas they tend to either be crapshoot affairs in the morning or eveing tourneys. Not many run in the arvie. At your buyin level they are raked to fk too 30-40% off the top will be the norm

[Simon Galloway]

[Biddy 62]

Vegaslover- What would you suggest. 30/40% sounds shit crapshoot sounds shit.

[Delboy]

Vegaslover- What would you suggest. 30/40% sounds shit crapshoot sounds shit.

Ah yes, but the players are also shit so they are +ev

Vegaslover- What would you suggest. 30/40% sounds shit crapshoot sounds shit.

As has been mentioned - a couple of $100+ tournaments instead of a few really cheap ones should be much more satisfying.

I didn't play them but the Aria $125's have been highly rated by everyone I know who played them

[Simon Galloway]

Grinding those full time would be a mistake.  But playing 2 on holiday... totally fine.  Relatively inexpensive buyin, sensible structure (a fair balance between having to row for home from level 1 and having too much of a marathon on your hands)
