after much deliberation and peer pressure (not that it was needed ofc) i booked tickets to LV

never even been to america let alone vegas and i cant wait to get out there. i plan on railing scotty and co during the ME but also playing the venetian deepstacks, hopefully last longer in them than the deepstacks over here :)

i also aim to play other tournies and sample a variety of casinos, everyone seems to have their own different favourite. as a newbie what places can experienced vegas visitors reccomend for me. shows to see, restaurants to sample, tournaments to play etc etc

a very excited Hurst05

    Have a good time Hursty and run golden (like normal!)

    Not sure about any deepstacks out there, but look out for any with the name Anthony Kendal on the list of runners and get registered ! (plenty of value in those) :))

    have a great time mate ,

    it is a very special place indeed, as for poker rooms my favourite is caesars,mainly due to the fact that it is the only one that has a sepertae card room,so not at smokey and not to much noise.the best card rooms for the structure of tourneys i found is the venetian,althhough most of the big boys are very good,to make money play the 1/2 no limit game it plays like 5p/10p over here,im not a good player and i found them easy.

    also for nights out go to lax nightclub and try to stop your eyes popping out, try to stay clear of blackjack and roulette as they are not +ev and arent that much fun..

    You'll have a great time,if you get the chance have a go at the craps tables with mates for a laugh, and pai gow (which i'm sure james hartigan can tell /show you how to play)if in any doubt.Try to get to the all day buffet at the wynne, and nearly any cirque de soleil show is worth the price.Oh and be lucky and run good!!!

    Think I have said this already Jamie but these are good ones

    Aria - 1pm $230 15k stack 30 min levels
    Aria - 7pm $120 8k stack 30 min levels

    Binions Classic series is still on when you are going (NLHE $160 - 12k stack 35 mins)

    Caesars Megastack (NLHE $130 - 15k stack 30 mins)

    For a quicker game, MGM Grand at 11.05am and 7.05pm has for $80 6k chips 20 min levels, I won $450 in 3 hours here when we wanted a faster game!

    Caesars/Bellagio/Venetian/Aria all good for poker

    i dislike the rio, pretty impersonnal, vast & corridors that go on forever,
    venetian & caesars are good for mid-stake comps but tbh it's all down to personnal pref so i'd check out as many as poss if i were you ))
    binions have a pretty good schedule with events pitched at 10% of the cost of the WSOP, i played the 1k main there last year & it was well run/grt structure.
    gl!
