How long you stay has nothing to do with tax requirements.

Check the Poker Legislation forum there is a sticky for how to handle taxes internationally.

Any Brits watching this Trevor McDonald documentary about Vegas? Been pretty entertaining watching even if it's obviously aimed at an audience of non-gamblers.

Part 2 was a lot better. Still only mediocre, but a lot better than part 1.

Always baffled me why there wasn't an In n Out on the Strip.

In-N-Out is pretty overrated IMO. It is a decent burger, but that's about it.

If it is overrated or not doesn't matter. It is a big deal. Until they oversaturate the market like Krispy Kreme did in the early 2000s.

I like in n out. But not crazy. but I don't think the one on strip charge $3.20 for double double.
To me, in n out is a healthy affordable burger place.
Many states don't have in n out, and probably tourists will eat that place up lol

They're extremely picky about their locations, they don't franchise, and lean heavily toward spots that have drive thrus or at least parking and can fit a pre-existing, stand-alone design model. There are only a handful that don't fit those criteria, and this will be another. So it's likely a matter of being patient until exactly the right opportunity came along. It's not like they ever would have opened one in some hotel's food court.

There must be one already within a mile west of the strip, you can see the sign from I-15.

Yes, that one on Tropicana has been there for years. It's overrun, too, since it's right by the Strip.

hi 2+2 community. we would like to visit Vegas in the next year during the WSOP. Can you tell me if budget 1.6-1.8k will be enough to find some nice 2 bedroom house/flat for +/- month. can you recommend some website with short term property renting? if we are looking something for 5-7 weeks what kind of additional cost we should expected e.g. electricity etc.

Have a few questions about live sng during the WSOP. How often SNG's start and where is the best place to play live sng's (including 1 or 2 tables satelites). We're looking for sng's with BI between 50$-200$.

Whole ton of WSOP housing posts/threads around here.

Only place for satellites will be the Rio.

vrbo.com is what I use for vacations, not sure if it is as good for longer than a week (never used it in Vegas), but all rentals would love to be booked up solid for 5-7 weeks if possible.

The wife and I are coming back into town in a week, and staying until January 5th or so. Wondering if there are any indoor pools. We'ld like to spend some pool time, but it's too chilly to be outside in one. Preferably at a Caesars property, since that is where we're staying and have high level cards, but anywhere on the strip or downtown would do.

Neither one of us can recall seeing an indoor pool anywhere in Vegas, just outdoor ones.

Thanks in advance,

Lee
