WSOP- 2017 ? - Page 17 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

You can't look at it in terms of prize pool I think. Second place in colossus is much less than first place in 888. And so on. Chances of min cashing in 888 are the same (or arguably higher for the more skilled player) as in the colossus, and chances of final tabling either are much higher in the 888 since they have significantly less players.

I guess we'll just agree to disagree. There are lots of factors that go into determining which tourney someone will choose over another (schedule being the biggest one, perhaps). But everything else being equal, and if one is dead set on playing a WSOP bracelet event, then I don't see the value in spending 60% more on the 8-8-8, over the Colossus, given its relatively small advantage in structure. There are tournaments one can make a legitimate case to "stretch" for. The 8-8-8 (and the Colossus, too) are not those kinds of tournaments, IMO.

convenience is a factor for me...if I have to go at odd hours to have no line, that is NOT convenience.

I was just comparing them from a theoretical point of view I guess. If someone only can fire 1 bullet they'll probably choose the colossus I'd think just because of the price difference.

Nice! I'm pretty novice and I don't know how much you check everything but I'm pretty much a crazy person and have been checking rates every day for the last month. I've gotten pretty lucky with TR properties. Initially, I had the rio booked for like ~550 and then slowly went through lower rates at Harrahs and the Flamingo. Just checked today and now I've got 7 nights at the Linq for $388. I barely played any table games last time I was out there so I think I'm just getting the general rewards offer but figured I'd throw it out there in case you're still comparing. Good luck!

Arriving 6/28 with checkout 7/5. It's weird. Whenever I apply the WSOP promo code to my search, the rooms end up costing more than whatever rate is initially offered. Sometimes they have 20% off sales and only a portion of my stay applies. If you have a TR card, going on their website can be really helpful if you have the time. I was amazed at the options and pricing. I'm ultra cheap fyi so these may not be exactly what you're looking for haha.

Confirmed. I just logged in to my Bravo account and can register for the Monster Stack for a $47.5 Visa fee or $62.25 if I choose AmEx. Only $3 for international or domestic wire transfer or cashier's check.

It is also wise to check 'flexible' dates. I managed to get 4 days comped at the RIO and pricing for the rest. However, I decided to book the 4 days comped, and then moving downtown for the weekend ending of my trip.

Main Street had a decent rate for a few days, no resort fee, and I had a friend say she stayed there, so figured I would give it a try.

Use your T/R card to check to see if you have comped rooms.

Don't know if this is has already been covered somewhere in this or another thread, but it looks like Caesars is getting on board the parking fee train...

https://www.caesars.com/parking

Its kind of hard to tell if it really applies to the Rio, but for those staying or parking at other Caesars properties... be aware. Parking is no longer free unless you have TR rating platinum and higher.

I'm a little surprised more people aren't commenting that they are registered and excited for the tournaments they'll be in. Is there a different WSOP thread I'm missing? If I recall correctly, last year there seemed to be a lot more excitement from people.

It's actually kinda easy to tell

It's free at the Rio for everyone.

2+2 Fantasy league sounds like a fun idea. I cant wait to play a few live tournaments since I don't get the opportunity to do so often

Well, it mentions Valet parking. Not sure why they didn't include a bit about self-parking too.

Does the line/wait to register for monster stack get long close to the start of the event?

I am considering a flight that would arrive in Vegas 9am Sunday morning and going straight to Rio.
