Ahem ahem ahem.

After much dithering I have now just booked the flights - 14th-24th (a couple of Venetian Deepstacks to get the actual poker itch scratched before the carnage begins).

Flying on the BA flight out of Heathrow. Originally was booking for the 13th on the way out but for some reason I just decided to check if the tube was running ok that day (as most weekends are plagued by engineering work). Lo and behold - no tube to Heathrow that day.

Bah. Was all about to go back to Virgin (and the trek to Gatwick) but instead did a BA search for the Monday and found the flights were £90 cheaper! Snap booked that and so am in.

Of course I pissed about too much and have missed the tasty Harrahs deal so just need to find somewhere to stay now and I"ll be set.

Ger - stick me in for the $20 for the present.

Nice one Andrew.

I booked the Venetian for 7 nights through TravelRepublic for £430

Travelex are currently offering 1.5451 compared to the spot rate of 1.5731

The best rate guaranteed is just them comparing to the high street banks etc. i.e. not the people you"d ever get the best rate from normally anyway.

Yo dudes. Courtesy of my fellow BCPC donks  ;D I will be out there 15-22 Nov, flying from Gatwick and staying at Bally"s. Also playing the Venetian Deepstack (on 17 Nov?). Anyway, looking forward to it all. I need to read through the previous 60 pages of this thread at some point but am I right in saying the process for buying into the APAT event hasn"t been agreed yet?

At this precise moment (AFAIK) we don"t actually HAVE an APAT event having been let down by two venues who agreed and then backed out.

Tighty is on it though.

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Look at the counters everybody, we are down to days, yes ladies and gentlemen it is just days until Vegas now. No more of those annoying months.

I stole this from Adam and Julie"s diary but it really gets you in the mood.

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

  • I wish I was as good as someone better than me!
In 6 weeks time we"ll all be home!!!!!!!!!!!!!arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh >:( >:( >:(

On a more serious note, my cousin, who lives in Park City, Utah, will be coming down to Las Vegas to spend a few days with me from 13th-17th. He is also going to buy a pre-paid mobile for me which roughly gets the following.

$50/£32 approx. (max cost, not sure what the local taxes are but not more than this) including taxes for a new phone and minutes as below.

200 minutes to use over 30 days from the day of the first call. Texts are 1 minute (equiv.) each.

The phone can either be discarded when you leave or used again on your next visit, you just add additional mins when needed. I can"t really see any of us being on the phone for 3 hours but for those that want one it"s a preety cheap option.

If anyone would like to pre-prder one of these he will get as many as is required.

Once I have them in Las Vegas I will pre-assign each phone to each buyer and send the numbers to you prior to your departure from the UK so you can give it out to whomever needs to know it.

Let me know by PM asap.

At a severe loose end and just read this thread from the start (sad I know) - loving the way it started to go from nice to great to serious to epic - to stellar.

Did I mention that I am excited  8)
