I am seriously thinking of just staying at the Rio and calling it good.

 

I would love to hook up with folks, I am not much of a partier, drinking guy, but I could be the designated piggy back ride for folks as I am 6'7".

You are in the same room with the bracelet events, get to start with some deeper stacks, fields are huge, and winning one of them will set you up for a good series. Level of play ranges from really bad to online pro grinders and everything in between. They are one day tournaments and do not have all the levels so you do need to chip up early. Anyway come out a day early and take a shot, get the jitters out and have fun.

Also the recommendation about gold coast is a good one. Cheap rooms, just make sure you upgrade to one above bottom of the barrel and you'll have a remodeled room with nice beds, LCD tv, etc. You can also look up the $20 trick online, I've been successful with that for many trips to Vegas to get an upgrade for a week for a $20 tip.

Enjoy your trip!

I am seriously thinking of attended the Venician Deepstack on June 23rd possibly depending on how my roll is. I am also thinking of the Gold Coast to stay. I am not familiar with Vegas other than the main strip. Is Venician pretty close to that hotel? 

Probably a 10 minute cab ride roughly.  Venetian is rrally nice, so if it is just a couple of days I would try to stay there so you can kind of hang around the strip, to to room for dinner break, etc

I may do that KB. I guess I will consider it a treat if my Bankroll can afford it. i would love to meet the TPE crew in person and hang out or even rail whichever. It would be my first Las Vegas experience for pokering. I had my first poker experience at Aria but that was when I didn't know the difference between poker and spoons. ha ha.

LOL. That is what I get for working and playing at the same time.

I would love to hook up for a drink or two though.

Looks like I will be heading there on the 3rd of July. I plan on staying at the Gold Coast. Don't mind sharing a room if you can put up with a snorer. Like I'll be sleeping much anyway. I plan on leaving the 9th unless I strike it big or hit a ME satellite. LOL

Do they have sats for the 1k?

I think they have STT sats for a bunch of different buy in levels and then you just get paid in lamers which can be used to buy into anything.

The issue is that a cooler almost definitely will burn you, and you need to at least double up by dinner but you will have some room to play.

Great advice and thanks for the tip.
