Players need to band together in some way at the WSOP to show support for legalizing online poker. In a perfect world, players could boycott events, but that would never work, as good players could clean up against weaker fields. I'm thinking a grassroots effort involving shirts could help our cause. These events are going to be streamed live on ESPN.com, covered by PokerNews, etc. If you'll be playing events regardless, this is a free opportunity to generate visibility.

I'm issuing a challenge for someone to design a better shirt! (shouldn't be too hard)

like

I will literally buy 10 and wear one everyday during the WSOP. I don't care about fashion, and I'm too fat to wear hoodies. Someone get something going.

Can't be arsed to MS paint or photoshop,but this sprung to mind immediately:



and either put a PS/FTP/Cereus logo as Nixons face, or a prominent/famous poker player.

*used this pic just for the pose Nixon is in, I think it's the most fitting.

in if shirt matches my shoes.

You can buy what is called a "named non-owner" policy from most car insurance companies. Basically it covers you when you rent a car (so this exact situation). Rates vary a lot by company though, so go through an independent agent who represents multiple companies and can do a quote to see who is the most competitive.

Your rate will depend on your credit score (depending on what state you're in) and age primarily.

Sigh...I just signed up for 8 nights in Rio for the prelims in June...and after reading the thread the memories from past Rio stays are coming back. I think I made a mistake

Totally staying elsewhere for the main event. One of the previous years I had a free room at Rio from a poker site, and still got a room at a diff hotel just so that I wouldn't have to deal with Rio's food offerings.

I predict Mickey will hate his Las Vegas experience

yeah probably =/

Oh yeah by the way I'm going big time this year

Since this is the FAQ-thread: Would you mind giving some suggestions for changing € to $ close to exchange rate? unfortunaly don't really know 2p2er who are selling
anyone has experience with bankwire?

Looking as though we have 1 spot open in a 5 bedroom house 15mins drive to the Rio.

House is booked from May 30th, through till July 18th (49 nights).

No freaks or weird dudes, PM me if you're interested/have any questions.

Apologies if this post is inappropriate.

Seems likely without a car. :/

Mickey should just ride around vegas on a horse.


A very tall white horse.

Maybe he should ride around on a.....

i forget what company i rented my car from last year, but the daily insurance cost was def. over $30/day...and that might even be a low number, and i was 25. Def not worth it.

they allow giraffes in vegas?

He should make all his reservations (if he hasn't already) directly with the hotel(s). That way, if after a few days he decides he will go insane in the place, he can move to another hotel and not have to pay for the rest of his stay where he is. Who knows? He may bink a nice cash early on and rather stay in Palms Place or City Center, or wherever.

Only the dwarf giraffes, but since they are only two feet tall, they are too small to ride.

what a silly post

FYP

Got a good rate on a couple Vdara suites...http://www.vdara.com/suites/deluxe-suite.aspx...PM me if you want details, I know there's still some units. Also, know a good rate for palms place (~3200 for 6 weeks). The lady I've been dealing with is very helpful, let me know if you want her contact info, room info etc.
As for the car, I stayed at SKY condos last year, just north of the wynn, and was debating getting a car or not. It is SO worth it. The convenience (or rather just extreme inconvenience of having to get cabs) of it is huge, It basically works out to the same price if you're getting 2 cabs a day anyway. I'm going to hold out this year and see what its like without one for the first week or so from citycenter. But I would say me, s_dot and flush_entity end up splitting one even from as close as citycenter. Literally the most tilting thing after busting a tourney is waiting in the crazy heat in a massive line for an expensive cab. If you ever need to run back to your place for anything atleast you know you can. Also , on dinner breaks you can get away from the RIO for a bit, etc.

Cliffs: cheap rates on nice places, PM me if you want info. Car is goooood

meh, vegas sucks. im surprised anyone likes being there for more than a day or two.

and yeah yeah yeah, i know its way different off the strip people, thanks.

For anyone thinking about skipping a rental car and taking cabs (for off-strip housing), think again! Stayed in Henderson the last couple years and shared rental cars. Having rides about half the time I still spent around 800 on cabs for the month. 25-30 with tip, each way, Rio to Henderson (about 15 min. drive). Having your own rental car is extremely worth it.

I hope you do, just going with my gut
