Are there poker rates at the Venetian if you mention series? Otherwise, should I just stay in the cheapo deapo Bally's or something? Never really made it down that way when I went to LV....

From earlier in the thread:

Quote:

Poker rates are still available. You need to reference group code CP02L1 (that's a zero before the 2) when you book your room. This will qualify you for a rate of $119 wkdy and $159 wknd as long as you play, at least, one event (or average of 6 hours/day of cash games). A $15 resort fee will be added to all reservations. The resort fee entitles you to free internet access, newspaper, local and 800 phone calls, and access to the gym.

How will cashes be paid? Cash, direct to PokerStars account, wire, etc?

Cashes in the $5k? They will be paid in casino chips which you can cash at the cage. If you're referring to satellite cashes, you will have to refer to Stars.

i am going to play a bunch of sats for this. i think it's great that this tour is starting. any idea what kind of turnout is to be expected? i've never even played a tourney at Venetian so have no clue (not to mention one endorsed by PokerStars).

Quote:

ME over the summer got almost 250 without stars sat'ing people in. That was a 5k as well. I'm definitely planning on trying to get to this.

This. If I had to make a professional guesstimate I would say 500+.

Today 03:27 PM

It is just before the ME. I'm not sure of the exact day, but I should know soon.

Thanks, Kev, for the answer regarding room rates.

The NAPT will be added to the ESPN roster and we have some amazing ideas that will make the NAPT very special, and very successful."

pretty sure this is still a -EV move on your part, even though I too will be pissed if they don't credit hotel for T$ like they do for the WSOP. Just keep sending angry emails.

They should always separate the buy-in from other expenses (hotel, etc.)...this way people can get an apt. with a bunch of friends, stay at a different hotel, or sleep in their ****&^ car and save the money, if they want.

ATTN POKERSTARS!

Please add some more satellites into the $700 Qualifier.

And not $1R. Or $3R. Or $5R.

There are barely any reasonable sats to the $700 except the $80 and the $27R/$11R which run once every 12 hours or something.

PLEASE!!!

If you look at the lobby its all $8 and $11 sats to the $33R, lol. I don't get it.
