Ship!!!!! Sat'ed into the the $700 qualifier earlier this week in the evening $80 on my 2nd try (got my $80 back on the first try). Won my package to NAPT Main Event tonight in the $700. The Wife and I are really pumped about this trip!

Now rinse and repeat for T$

[SteelWheel]

Any word back from 'Stars on awarding cash equivalent (heck, even T$) in lieu of hotel? Just won a qualifier myself--I do have a place I can stay at while in town, although I might choose the hotel anyway, just for the sake of convenience--or maybe 'Stars will let me transfer it?

When you guys said that winning a second qualifier pays in T$: Does that mean the whole $7K, or some combination of cash and T$?

GL everybody, see you in Feb at the V.

Hello Matt,

Thank you for your email.

I am sorry to inform you that the hotel rooms are pre-booked and pre-paid
so we cannot refund the value of the hotel accommodation included in the
package.

We appreciate your understanding.

I got the same email. Even if I did need a place to stay, I wouldn't want that package. $900 is a pretty sweet deal for them, I wouldn't want to give $t either...

I'm just going to skip it and ship the ironman.

It would be pretty awesome if they gave some type of credit to use at the venetian for food or something even.

And not $1R. Or $3R. Or $5R.

There are barely any reasonable sats to the $700 except the $80 and the $27R/$11R which run once every 12 hours or something.

PLEASE!!!

If you look at the lobby its all $8 and $11 sats to the $33R, lol. I don't get it.

Exactly, I don't get it either. Please add more sat's in the range of $20-50 FO's and 11R (non-turbo's) to $700 imo.

From stars on the 12th:

You will soon be receiving an email detailing the online registration system for qualifiers that will complete your hotel booking as well giving us important information to complete your registration into the main event.
Please ensure that you complete the online registration form at your earliest convenience.

Nothing yet. I also heard that rooms werent worked out yet between the 2 parties, so how are they already prepaid? I dont care either way cause I am staying there, but this just seems like stars' way of simplifying everything.

[Dantes]

it seems clear that they have a deal with venetian to pay $900 for each qualifier or they wouldn't care if we took $T instead of the room. Hell, they'd want us to take the $T...

[Kramerica]

Venetian is nice though, just enjoy your room ffs

yea but there's no place like home

[FatalError]

if you live in vegas i'd just find some friends you like an offer them x free nights at venetian, that being said i'm done playing sats for this now until seat only is available

[charder30]

guess im going to this now, and then snap leaving for
LA as soon as i bust.

[ZBTHorton]

I'm probably leaving for LV the second I get out of the 1K LAPC Event(18th), then driving back to LA for the Main Event and whatever else I can play. If anyone is interested in riding with, just PM me.

[shaundeeb]

guys who live in vegas and are going to play this direct buyin first with no hotel then play sats and you should be fine I think.
