A suggestion or two...

To avoid paying 10% rake on your satellite buy-in - All interested parties ship the agreed buy-in to "the organiser"... then set up private game on Stars with the minimum buy-in [freeroll if they allow them?]... organiser sends password to those who have sent their buy-in... and then ships prize to winner/s.

Even better... organiser books flight and/or hotel for winner.*

*I only suggest this as I would say there is a reasonable chance that if the winner is simply sent the money, that they will come up with some excuse not to go and to keep the cash.

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

Indirect flight from London is currently £420.

Harrahs was approx £280 for a week. These dates were 17/11/11 to 24/11/11.

If you set buy in at £100 each and had 1 in 10 there"s then a bit of spends as well.

Looked for packages for a week (indirect flights and 2 sharing can be got for 420 at cheapest then any upwards. will see if enough interest for a sat then all interested players can decide buy in package value etc etc . I think be better cheap and cheerful but need a lot of runners for that but if 10 -20 only want to play 100 quid or 25 rebuy the way forward i think.

If people up for this please let us know asap, and if anyone already going wants to play it for extra spends that is fine too. Only condition is whoever wins does go to vegas !

If people interested in this really need to put names down quickly we need at least 10 to make it viable . If not no worries

You can set up game on site that offers home games.  If not enough people register on said site you can cancel game 5mins before it is due to start.
