46th World Series of Poker Questions & etc thread: May 27 - July 14 - Page 5 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

Can anyone give me some advice on where to stay for 10-14 days? I will be playing at the different venues -- PH, WSOP at Rio, Venetian. I probably will just stay in a hotel, but I was wondering if anyone has any insights about trying to rent a condo-like space at MGM Signature, Vdara or some place like that where there might be a small kitchen. Trying to find the best site or contact to rent that kind of option.

Thanks!

Are you suggesting Palms Place because of proximity to Rio or is there something else I should know about it?

ALL advertising is misleading, because it is meant to get you to buy the product, not know everything there is possible to know about the product.

My standard is that I shouldn't have to call you to find out your fee breakdown.
They don't have to put the fees in their spread in cardplayer or on marketing materials, but it should be available on structure sheets and/or schedules.

Pretty much everyone adheres to that now. There have been some occasions where fees haven't been available in writing at all. That is obviously a problem.

If anyone has any more info on special rates during the series I'd appreciate it.

I have not been able to find the daily deepstacks structures for this year. Any reason to think they may have changed from last year?

Does the Palms casino still spread $5/pt OFC?

Will there be an extra signup cage opened for the Colossus, or just a really really really long line?

Does anybody know what the payout structure for the draft kings event will be. It's a 1500 event that pays 50% of field. I'm guessing 26%-50% gets same payout like 1800.

This would seem to be different from your position.

As for the other matter, I have never seen a structure sheet that doesn't include them. But I don't play hundreds of events a year or anything. If such structure sheets exist, then it would be right for anyone to complain about missing fee information.

Lastly, what are you referring to when you ask about special rates?

Last year LVH had one as well.

Cheapest rates I've seen so far are my total rewards rates for Linq and I put in virtually no play.

Pre-Register, Pre-Register, Pre-Register...the WSOP organizers can't stress this enough.

+1. I've preregistered every year except for 1 in the last 10 years, and that 1 year of standing in line sucked. Needless to say I'll never play the wsop again without preregistering.

Going out for a week of the WSOP for the first time this year. I'm flying in the night before flight B of the Millionaire Maker so I've pre-registered for that one, but what do you guys think about needing or not needing to pre-reg for other events that week (e.g., $1k turbo, and standard $1.5k and $1k tournaments)? I was planning on picking an off peak time to register in person.

Your times work.

There are bracelets events at 12 and 4 most days, the big deepstack at 3, and a mega at 8. Just avoid those registration periods. Coincidentally, if you need to pawn off some satellite lammers, these periods present excellent business opportunities.
