Do the Venetian's $220 Sit+go's get uploaded to HendonMob's stats. Also how long are they lasting with the 2k starting stack and short levels? Looking to try these out on next trip

Thx

there's a few golf courses literally on the strip.

the wynn golf course is the most expensive golf course per square yard in the world.

bali hai is also on the strip and will run you about $250.

there's a par three course on the strip which is a bit of a dump.

I don’t think the Wynn golf course has reopened yet?

It's a pretty rare circumstance but it does happen from time to time when the hotel misjudges demand.

Just did this at Red Rock for next weekend. Ended up saving about $150 for the three nights. They were very nice and helpful about it.

Heh. Last I checked the Wynn was $600 a round, although I'd guess 95%+ of the players are comped on.

Grunch after quick search

What's the quickest way to get from Park MGM to Aria poker room? Do you take the tram or is there a sidewalk path that's quicker. Thanks.

You walk to the Park MGM tram then follow the signs to the Aria. Do not get on the tram.

the tram that’s literally also the Aria tram and just upstairs from the poker room?

walk the hallway from Park to Aria, the entrance from Park down the escalator puts you directly in front of burgers & poker

Your best bet if you are set on walking it is Rio to Park MGM, tram to Bellagio, then go out Bellagio North Valet and walk across highway from there. Probably a good hour door to door.

please don’t walk to/from rio & strip

basically walking between rio and anywhere except GC carries a decent amount of risk with how huge and unfriendly the intersections are around there

peds are pretty big dogs in town outside of the strip

Google Maps says 43 minutes best case.

I rounded up to an hour assuming you would take the air conditioned but longer walking path through the casinos, waiting for the Tram, and waiting for the lights to cross at the freeway.

Me and my friends stayed at Monte Carlo in 2005 and did this walk a handful of times (we were in college) and I never did it since.

shouldnt be more than that if...

you check uber AND lyft before you head out and look for the lowest 'shared' ride option....youll sometimes get it for 5 bucks and most likely will have another pick up before you get to the rio OR youll be dropping off someone already in the car before you get to the rio

sometimes youll get lucky and just go straight to destination alone or the person sharing the ride is in it already and is going further than you so they will drop you off first

Walking from the Excalibur to the Rio, anytime, is beyond the pale.

That comes with a bonus risk as well. Stay at the Gold Coast or Palms Place.

If your budget is too tight for Uber rides, consider staying at Rio, Palms or Gold Coast.
