Las Vegas in 2009

[THEGUY84]

Hey guys just wondering, I decided to put some of my spending money for vegas on my credit card for easy use, I was just thinking do any of you know if you can pay for chips in the casino with a credit card??

Casinos don"t accept Credit Cards. You will have the opportunity to withdraw funds from an ATM using your Credit Card but that"ll cost you a fortune in interest which is added straight away.

[THEGUY84]

cool, I didnt think so. But thought I would check.

I can see it now....

Opp: I"ll raise to $100
Kenny: and I"ll re-raise a Visa and a Mastercard!

I"ve spent a wee bit of time today lookin at what I can play when in PokerTown.

I"m looking at least two $75/$125 Tourneys during my 6 day "family" holiday. I"m currently eying up;

Noon $125 + $25 Deepstack at Caesars Palace (5000 chips and 30 minute clock)

Daily 7pm $120 + $20 at The Venetian (5000 chips and 20 minute clock)

Daily 9pm $120 + $20 Bounty Tourney at Caesars Palace (2500 chips and 30 minute clock)

I also quite fancy seeing the new Poker Room at Hard Rock so might consider the $50 + $10. At 110degrees though, I hope to be found in Caesars / Hard Rock most afternoons.

I will be sure to add my rants to the "Luky and Chip" Blog ... now to convince Leigh to take a share

I like Planet Hollywood"s $80 ($60+$20 high reg fee I know but a nice tourney)

4000 chips and a 20 min clock

2pm and 7pm (or a $60 at 10am but that has 30% taken out but has the same structure)

or TI"s Head hunter $125 with $50 back for each punter you knock out

[lukybugur]

I like the look of the TI Bounty one. Cardroom doesn"t get the best reviews tho ... cramped and dark doesn"t sell it to me.

Is Michael Mizrachi not contracted to play like 5 of the evening games at PH every week too?

He certainly used to be. Dont know if "the grinder" still does this gig though...

Right Kenny, are we planning on meeting up to play some tourneys in Vegas? The only day I have something booked so far is Monday 3rd August - the Grand Canyon Tour.

Unless you can find something better, I"m gonna try plan it so that I can play in the $125+$25 ($50) Bounty at Treasure Island on Sunday night at 7pm and on Tuesday the $85+$15 noon game at Caesars with 7500 starting stack and 20min clock.

Don"t waste your time imo, we took a trip down last week and were thoroughly underwhelmed. if your playing time is limited stick to Ceasers and Venetian mate.

I like the 8pm tourney at Harrahs - $150 entry, 10,000 starting stack but 20 minute blinds. Takes about 5-6 hours depending on entries and it"s am ok room too.

Thanks Eck. Hard Rock no longer an "attraction".

Thanks Glen. It"s another one for Kenny and I to consider.
