Hi g3r4rd0x,

It's a bit chilly at night. Something like 70 in the day and 50 in the evenings. Some light showers as well. Definitely pack a sweater and maybe a jacket.

Thanks,

Leaving in a few hours and have a few q's.

1. I noticed the currency charged for lots of things (hotels, casino, car rental) are in USD? Should I bring most of my money in that currency or use an ATM over there?
2. What is the exchange rate for USD? I am seeing anywhere from 20 to 27 UYP which is a considerable difference. I'm assuming you can pay entries with either currency?
3. Will there be a welcome 'party' for LAPT players?

See you soon!

Hey Chronic

I'm from here so let me help you.

1. If you're going to be mostly at the hotel, USD are fine. If you plan dinner/lunch outisde and other external expenses, you might want to have some Uy$.

2. Dont let them charge 27 per 1 USD. It's 20 per 1 USD.

Thanks RPH.

Hi,
I hope that you have a safe trip, I just landed and are on the transfer to the hotel. It is 1 am and raining cats and dogs, but all for Poker right?

Exchange is 20 to 1, I recommend that you change at the airport some. At the event, we can help you find local players if you are in need, just look for some one at the welcome desk of PokerStars.
There is a welcome party on Wednesday at 21:00 at the M$antra Beach Club. All info available at arrival.

Looking forward to meet you,

David

Just an fyi to all. The exchange rate at the airport is 17, while @ the casino its 20, so wait to exchange till you get here.

I just arrived this afternoon and am considering playing the satellite. Also, anyone have any bananas?

got robbed on my way back to the airpot ffs, passport + money stolen, gladly im ok and was able to get a comp flight as I couldnt get in the plane without my passport. stuck in montevideo for an entire day, any suggestions to spend time?

wow chronic how did that happened? i hope u are ok, be more carefull next time, dont trust anyone.

Was filling my tank at a gas station on my way to Carrasco Airport. Fortunately, nothing serious happened and I was able to get a new passport at the mexican embassy in Montevideo.

I'll talk to you later on skype, hope all is good with yourself.
