I know what you mean but this is all business... Treating myself to 2 nights in a hotel I am only sleeping in for $350 to play a tournament that costs $550 is gonna really eat into my ROI and hourly, and in comparison I'm spending £600 on 30 nights in the house so £200 seems a lot at the start of the trip for 2 nights. Sorry that's just me being a tight nit in my late 20's Wink

Could write a couple of books on this topic, but won't derail.

There's abs nothing wrong with saying that you want to keep X's down (there are diminishing returns from screwing things down below a certain point) so let's rule out Palazzo/Wynn.

Trump, TI and Harrahs are all as near as damn it equi-distant from Wynn.

Harrahs is $107 total - this includes all taxes, resort fees and everything.

TI Marky is quoting as $135, dunno if this was including RF + tax or not. (The rate I can see is $177 all in)

Obv hotels are subjective, but given your remit, if $135 includes RF and tax, then TI for $135 is better value than Harrahs for $107.  If it is $135 + RF + tax, then Harrahs is better value than TI.

Trump is $230 all in, but given your remit, maybe scratch that from the list.

I wouldn't put anyone off staying at TI, I think it's a very good hotel for the $. I also woudl stay at TI every single time if the choice was TI or Harrahs (but my remit is different to yours) But if saving money is king:

TI for $135 >> Harrahs for $107 >> TI for $177.

That'd make War & Peace look a slim tome.

A Vegas Block is definitely like 2 NY Blocks.  The heat outside is pretty intense, and definitely should not be underestimated.  Vegas virgins (still worth 1.4) forget that they would be in the middle of the Mojave desert if it wasn't for all that neon and concrete - for every group of 6 at least one of them will get sunstroke or be badly dehydrated/shits/etc from not taking on enough water.  You can easily sit at a poker table, drink 10 bottles of ice cold water in quick succession and still not need a piss.

Learning your orientation within hotels is also handy... getting the wrong exit out of Caesars for instance can add 20 mins to your walk alone.

Sorry, I hadn't counted the resort fee last night so you've got another $56 on the rate from last night. I'd probably still book that anyway if it were me, but just have one less '3 for $100' at the Rhino Smiley

You can't put a price on morale. Sampling the absolute finest life has to offer is exactly what you need to motivate you to greater success imo
