VEGAS: who is going this year?
There seems to be a quite a few people thinking about going to Vegas this year judging by some of the posts over the last couple of weeks.
I am also thinking of going around the end of May/Start of June - start of WSOP. Probably for 10 days /2weeks. Dates can change though - I dont have my heart set on anything. Hotel will be on the cheaper side (think $30-$40 a day)
I havent been before, but judging by the other posts, and my research, £2k would cover everything except your poker. That includes flights, 2 weeks in a hotel, living expenses including a bit of partying.
I dont know about everyone else, but my circle of mate includes those that are not interested in poker, and those that have a vague interest (occasional home games etc). Going to Vegas for 1-2 weeks to mostly play poker wouldnt interest them. There is one who would be interested...but he has a gambling problem...probably best I dont mention it.
This got me thinking...Surely there are others in the same boat..
sooo...is any one else is interested in going as a small group with other sky players?
if you are interested, post below, and say when you would like to go as well as any other preferences you have.

Maybe not play poker every single day though, and do some trips 1 or 2 days.
Hopefully Sky run the Vegas packages, and then that would be an absolute ideal time to go, when 7 - 12 sky regs would be out there playing.
Far too early in the year for me to make plans though as I'm currently in the process of job hunting and need to wait until all that is sorted out first :-)
Probably Mrs P's idea of hell so wont be happening this year - she deserves a good holiday after what she has been through.
Now maybe Aruba - fantastic beaches and she might actually believe I never knew they had casinos there ;-)
mayb create an FB group
My plan is to be in Vegas for a couple of weeks in the Summer, not sure on details yet though.
Very good from the rotund one.
It's a matter of personal taste, Charles.
Generally, when lads go together, they like doing the villa thing, as they are all together, & there is a sort of fun atmo in the house.
But it is not to everyone's taste.
I did the villa thing one year, with Jon Kalmar (the year he finalled the WSOP Main), Paul Jackson, Marc Goodwin, Dave Colclough, & that crowd. The villa was lovely - swimming pool, the whole lot - but I did not enjoy cooking my meals, as I don't go to Vegas to cook food. Usually, the shops are a goodly way from the Villa, too.
Worse still, by definition, the Villas are a goodly way off-strip, usually a 10 or 15 minute drive. That means either you all travel to & fro to the Strip together, which is a bind, as we want to come & go as & when we please. Busting out of a Tourney & then waiting 5 hours for the geezer with the car keys sucks. And if we want to go play a Tourney earlier, or later, than the others, it all gets awkward.
Taxis then? No way! We often had to wait 2 hours for a cab to arrive, it was horrendous, we all got tetchy because we were missing the start of play, that sort of thing.
For me, it's a Hotel every time, not even close, but yes, others enjoy renting a sick villa. Note, all Vegas villas HAVE to be described as sick, apparently. I also like the fact that I can get fast food - or a sit-down meal - in the Casino, on my way back to the room at night.
Ryan & Co often rent a Villa, & I think they love it.
Each to their own personal taste, really.
Fancy swapping with me?
