I was thinking of going on the back half of june myself. I looked and a 15day stay at bally’s really wasnt terrible. It wasnt nothing fancy but a 2 bed room was like 1k-1200 for that amount of time which i didnt think was terrible.

[jim]

really…👀

[jim]

hey @Misclickdonkey 11-12 days in the end of June might be the perfect trip for me – let me know if you are looking for a bunkie for that second room! I just have to pow-wow with Mrs. BLUFFSTORINI to confirm dates.

[jim]

well well well – I can’t break any news here yet, but it looks like Friday June 24th and Saturday June 25th might be good days to be in Minnesota! 👀 If so, I might have to adjust my vegas plans to skew a little later – the tag team event starts on the 26th so you know I’ll be there for that!

I am hoping to go June 27-July 2. I am thinking about staying at Bally’s. Planning on playing the Super Seniors event and if I lose in day one, then may play the ladies event.

Nothing booked, but Mrs WebsiteMark and I might head out for part of it. My only possible targets are going to be the dailies or the lowest buy-in bracelet events.

For what it’s worth, Park MGM is a very pleasant stay (though a little bit of a walk to Bally’s/Horseshoe/Paris).

Warning: Travelodge right across from Aria is definitely not worth the modest savings under any circumstance. ::shutter::

Still a big if for me whether I go or not, but I did reserve a refundable hotel around my ideal dates: June 30-Jul 10. My intention is to play the mini-Main, Main satellites (and hopefully the Main), and maybe the mystery bounty. Lots to figure out if I go at all, but that would be the window I’d aim toward.

If I go out this year, which is looking more likely than not, I’d be out there from June 26-July 1-ish. Might be able to make the tag-team event which sounds cool. And then trying to get enough favor with GopherWifeCM to be able to stay out there for the mini-main.

[petvet]

I am booked for June 25 on a one way ticket. Will be staying at least until July 8. Hoping to play Million $ Bounty and Ladies, Mini Main and hopefully Main Event. We will definitely have to have a few RecPoker meetups!!

[fivebyfive]

I don’t want to give away all my secrets, but what the heck, for RecPoker, anything. I don’t know how many people are aware of the Platinum Hotel, but it is a stone’s throw walk from Bally’s/Paris, just off the strip. It is a little more expensive than some of the other properties, but still fairly reasonable. But the big kicker for me is that you can save a ton of money on dining because it comes with a full kitchen. I’ve stayed there the past few WSOPs and got a car to get over to the Rio and just did a big grocery shop the day I arrived. This year you wouldn’t even need to rent a car if you could figure out the grocery trip.

It could be an under-the-radar option, and my experiences there have been pretty good. There are definitely more convenient places to stay if you’re looking to be right on the strip. But it is mostly quiet, all-suites, with a well-stocked kitchen. That’s what I want for a WSOP hotel, and it just got to be a much more convenient location with the venue switch.

I’m flying in June 26th and out July 4th. Staying at the Flamingo. I plan on playing the Super Seniors (First year I’m eligible) and maybe a few of the deepstacks. Plan on also playing at the Orleans as I like their poker room.

I have flights booked from 6/20 to 6/28 – had a friend’s b-day trip to go to and decided to make a week of it. Unfortunately can’t stay for the big tourneys in late June/July but will play a lot of cards during the first part of my week there and eying one of the bracelet events that Thursday. Staying at the Westin across from Bally’s b/c I’m a Marriott person for work. Welcome any tips for how the WSOP events play, is it worth registering late? Are the cash games softer or harder? Will be my first WSOP event live and can’t wait! Would be great to catch a beer with anyone that is in town.

[taylormaas]

Pretty much booked for June 26 – July 1 for me! I say pretty much because I still don’t have a place to stay but going to be looking to split room costs with others if possible (so if that interests you, let me know).

Looking to play the Tag-team on the 26th (don’t have a partner yet) and then the $600 deepstack on the 27th. Maybe the $600 online event on the 26th or the $500 turbo online event on the 28th as well.

[gibber3]

I will be at Paris (the hotel, not France, of course) from 6/21-7/2. If whoever draws the Subscriber’s prize messes up and doesn’t pull me for “Team Jim Squared”, I’d be honored to partner up with you.

[taylormaas]

Actually its now looking like a long shot for me to play the tag team. My flight will be getting in too late for an entry. 🙁

[gibber3]

😢 understood. Safe travels!

Flying out Saturday June 25, flying home Monday July 4. Staying at my brother’s house in Vegas. I’ll start playing Sunday in the troops benefit event. After that it’s a game time decision each day. We should definitely plan a meetup(s).

[jim]

looks like a lot of buzz around the last weekend in June, what are some good places/times to plan a meetup? Tag Team day 2 (Monday 27th) starts at noon so that could be a good morning to grab a late breakfast together or something?

[monkiesystem]

I’m all in!

[monkiesystem]

It would probably be wise to plan on brunch right there on site at Bally’s Paris, even though the places might be busy. That’ll make it convenient for anyone who has an event they want to play in late morning or early afternoon. I don’t know if it’s possible to make a reservation for a group for brunch.

[jim]

let’s try to meet at Bally’s/Paris/Horseshoe on the morning of Monday June 27th – start making plans!
