Was there another year the WSOP put out a press release at the beginning of the year saying the TOC would occur in Vegas during the WSOP, then switched the location at the last minute?

It’s totally fine if they want to have a $200 daily tournament. But just advertise it that way, rather than as some sort of special “festival”.

RW just wants that carry over cash game traffic, the low tourney price point is the bait.

You'd think a professional publication would get the subject/verb agreement right.

What is the best way to find out what the rake is on the tournaments this summer. I called the Golden Golden Nugget poker room. They had released their schedule several days earlier. I asked for the rake on the $400 Senior tournament. I got transferred twice after inquiring then waited 20 minutes on hold. Frustrated, I hung up and called back. After only a 10 minute wait I was told "the rake has not been set and to call back in a week or two". Nuts!!! you'd think if you were in the market to buy something, the merchant would tell you how much it cost ... arg.

I'm not even a tournament guy at all but I looked at that list and started laughing. It's a complete joke. The Orleans dailies are bigger. The buy ins are barely higher than their blackjack minimums on the weekend.

I, in addition, as well scoffed at such petulant, arrogant, impoverished attempts at desiring the spending of pecuniary amounts of my enormous collections of wealth for such petty and low gaming adventure hosting entities.

'Tis beneath me.

[Turns up nose and confidently walks away.]

Not sure why all the fuss, it’s basically just a Daily Deepstack schedule of 1-Day tournaments. The LOL to me is the $400 4-day event!

It's more so them acting like this is some great series than needed a big announcement when it's really just small daily tournaments. It is strange to run a bunch of 200s in a nice new casino that tries to attract higher end players.

400 dollar 4 day is pretty funny.

How far in advance can you register for an event/flight? And I think I saw registration is open 24/7 during the series?

Look at the structure sheet. All structure sheets have the rake at the bottom in the fine print

I don’t think they’ve published the structures for the Golden Nugget series yet.
You can find structures for past GN tournaments, but the price points on this series seem a little different than their past tournaments, so you can’t infer the rake from those.

The buy in for the Senior, Super Senior, and Senior Championships are the same as last year. The $400 buy in Rake was 17.5% and the $600 was 15% in 2023.

wtf

Pretty standard.

Thats 330+70. Been that rake for years at the 400 buyin at a lot of stops.

First I should have said IF the rake is the same as 2023.

Second those are the same rakes used by the WSOP for those $$$ buy ins.... very standard rake levels really.

You need to be pretty good to beat that EV as a player. 100k of yourself in buy-ins with 20% ROI and you would need bankroll of millions to fire that, sickk

Where’s the best places to stay that are close? Budget pricing but don’t want to die. Haven’t been to Vegas since 2004.

Tuscany is fine.

Well I got my answer and I can't say I like it

Hello XXX,  
      We are sorry for any inconvenience this my cause. Paris Las Vegas Operating Company, LLC will no longer accept wire transfers. However, you can do a cashier's check in advance. When doing a cashier's check before your arrival in Las Vegas, email a copy of the check to our credit department for verification. The credit department email is CZRCredit@Caesars.com and it must include your first and last name, Caesars Reward Number, and state that it is going to be used at the Paris Las Vegas for WSOP. If you use a cashier's check and send it to our credit department ahead it would save a few days before you come. You will still need to bring the original check with you to the Paris cashier cage in the Convention Center.

Thanks again
