Glad to see some replies, I was beginning to think no one, not even 2+2'ers went to Tunica anymore. Well we're booked for the Shoe on the weekend of July 25th, which actually coincides with the World Poker Open, which obviously isn't near as big as it used to be. Actually, considering we were able to book rooms AT the Shoe for that time period shows that the interest level in that tourney is pretty low. And I think someone mentioned it but the room prices at the Shoe are $45/$65.
The guys going with me are mostly $4/8 and $1/2 players so I'm thinking there should be plenty of action for us. The floor at the Shoe also said they should have a $3/6 O8 game going sounds donktastic! Plus who doesn't love some late night $1-$5 Stud with the geriatrics!
One thing I'll also add, is I talked to both the Shoe and GS about poker room rates. The GS was very unfriendly IMO and I was being very nice to the lady and mentioned that I stayed 5 nights with them in '07 and had a blast. I'm sure the lady is over worked but she had a very down to business attitude and acted as if she could care less if 4-5 guys came and stayed with them or not. The Shoe was totally different and was VERY friendly, telling me "not to bring money for food, cause we'll take care of that!" Seriously, they know how to treat poker players.
Hopefully everything will stay on "go" and we'll make the trip. If so, I'll be sure post a TR.
