clayton, hit me up when you're in town

The IP has stairs - no alarm. I have used them many times in the morning. If you are on a high floor, use the "going up" trick mentioned in the previous post.

yeah, this is what I did. Its pretty ****ty to have to do that, and it sucks to have to spend time stopping on every floor when the elevator is cram packed. ****ty hotel imo.

The IP is fine. Cheap rooms and great location. The main bank of elevators in the back by the shops can be very very slow. To avoid that try to get in the front tower (to use the first bank of elevators by the Keno Area) making sure to NOT get a room facing the Harrahs Carnival Court. Those rooms are very loud at night with the noise from Carnival Court. The other trick is if you have to use the back elevators, find the bank of two elevators behind the main bank. As you are heading to the elevators from the casino take a left just past the bar before the elevators and there they are. For some reason everyone ignores them and they are MUCH faster.

Thanks guys IP it is! And getting a room facing the carnival court shouldn't be that big a problem it closes at around 3 right?

Cheers - much appreciate!!

Oh one more question, can I use an ATM in the US with my neteller card? Or will it be blocked (much like trying to access a euro poker site in the US)?

gold coast is actually pretty sick, no internet afaik but i brought my own

I am thinking of staying at the Venetian. Reference a cab ride from the airport. Cabby doesnt take the strip Correct? Approx Cost?

$15-20, tell him no tunnel, and he should be taking Trop to Koval or Paradise to Flamingo to Koval. Correct, no strip.

Didn't feel like going on a search, so - do they have any 6max cash games in Vegas?

doubt it

No, never.

They do have internet but it's the typical 10-12 bucks a day.

Don't miss the $2 Heinekens or the hot dog cart in the sports book.

If you want to go down around TI, Venetian, or Wynn, take the back way down Valley Fair (I think) to Spring Mountain and avoid the Strip except maybe for a block at most.

Flying into Vegas tomorrow for the first time. Is a cab the cheapest/best way for three of us to get to the Venetian?
