Re: How I made it to Vegas 5 times without the missus and how do I make it 6?
« Reply #120 on: February 28, 2010, 12:29:50 PM »


Played in Caesars last time and found it to be the best card room.

Any suggestions on others for tourneys around the $100-$200 mark?



The Aria looks nice, running a $120 at 1pm daily. 8k starting stack, 30 min blinds.



Doesn"t look like they got many players for that comp.  :D

Thanks guys, will check out the site.

Remember that a lot of card rooms change their regular schedules during the WSOP.

Binions are running their "Classic" festival again, plenty of $100 - $200 events, schedule here - http://www.allvegaspoker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11579

Also the Grand Poker Series at the Golden Nugget, schedule attached here - https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B_k2WPY27QRCM2NjYWM4NDYtODA4Zi00MTFlLWEzOWQtMTI5YWFmNmFiN2Zj&hl=en.

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

Thanks Alan, will play at least one of the Binions games for sure.

Now all I need is things to keep the missus busy whilst I play poker.
Anything that takes about an hour should be enough  :D

3/7 - Day 2 or Caesar"s - $190
4/7 - Day 3 or Binions Poker classic - $210
5/7 - Venetian - $170
6/7 - Mirage SnG - $130
7/7 - Binions Poker classic - $160

This is tantamount to theft. You asked for $1000 to be wired, paid a $30 fee and so should fully expect $1000 to arrive. Legitimate expectations.

What does your bank have to say? Complain to CS and if that gets you nowhere write to the ombudsman.

That doesn"t solve the immediate problem of getting you in the tourney, unless they agree to wire the missing $25 FOC.

Good Luck.

PS Played at the Aria - it"s a v nice and well run tourney with a good clock. But would like to know if they"ve cured the horrendous drains smell outside starbucks on the link from the Monte Carlo. You can"t miss it if they haven"t!

I agree Andy and if I had a bit more time and energy I would kick up a stink on this one.

Maybe I"ll sub contract to Ger  ;D
