18 of us going for a bachelor. Will any casino run a 2-table tourney for us? Maybe like $50 buy-in. Would they run a $40+10 or something similar for us if we ask?

Poker room is still there. However, today I am making the walk to Aria, Bellagio and Caesars rather than play here at Ballys.

ETA: I was incorrectly given a diamond players card rather than my platinum, should I be excited?

(I am going to try google right now)

A quick google search tells me the card is swiped during the diamond lounge check in process? If so, wouldnt they realize I am not diamond?

I guess worst case secenerio is I am denied entry and the card gets confiscated. I am probably going to try and enter one today.

For 18 person bachelor is it good idea to get an agent or concierge or whatever that can hook us up with club passes and stuff?

Best way to get a fridge in your room at PH/Bally's?

A) Pay for it
B) Make a makeshift cooler out of ice, a garbage can, and a plastic bag
C) call reservations and tell them you have a medical condition
D) $20 trick

Don't do C. Not cool taking advantage of something they do for people with legit medical problems.

yeah that was a joke.

I honestly don't know how much a fridge runs, but since I'm doing a 5 day solo grind I'd love to have one so I can keep some healthy food in my room and avoid eating out all the time.

With regards to (B) I would instead pack a foldable cooler they are cheap and I would be surprised if you did not already own one. If not you should get one to use on other travels. (I keep forgetting one and I think I have 6 of various shapes now.) You can probably pick one up at Walgreens up by the venetian. But what do you need if for anyway? You get plenty of "free" drinks at the tables anyway.

Yes, but they are also probably not staying in PH/Bally's as is PoppaLarge (See post #10384.)

Basically, not exercising and eating out all the time makes me feel like crap.

Feeling like crap is EV-----

So I scored super cheap with PH and Bally's and wasn't even thinking since this return trip is on a whim, but making sure I get decent rest, some exercise, and have decent food around at least to snack on is huge. Then if I drink too much I at least have some equilibrium.
