If you don’t mind to leave Ceasars hotels after 5 days ( for atleast 48 hours) and come back . It will save you a lots of $$ for a little hassle.

I was looking 12 nights straight in either HS,Paris or Cromwell , I was quoted $390 . So I booked 5 comped nights to start with ( June 18th) and 6th & 7th night At Boyd property (Orleans also comped) and 8th -12th night back with Ceasars property (Comped)= $0.00.

Yes I will go through hassle of changing hotels twice in 12 nights but to stick to my strict budget this was the best I can do .

Anyone have issues with any structure or events?

The $3k 6max has a bad structure for a $3k. I wanted to play it but 30 min levels for a $3k? I know they got a finish it in 2 days it seems but that just seems like a meh structure for a 3k. I’ll pass. Idk 30 min levels on day 1 and then to 40 on day 2 for a $3k is just laughable. Make
It 40min on day one and play long day and then have day 2 go to 1 hr levels and play super long day to finish it out or maybe have a 3rd day for a small final
Table etc.

Idk also kinda hate how spread out some of smaller buy in events are. I might just go for monster stack and maybe $1500 shootout. I’ll focus on Venetian / Wynn prolly

I’m not sure what you consider small, but there are three mega-field events under $1000 the week of the 24th. There’s nothing spread out about that.

Argh ! I am so sorry if either Akashenk or my comments end up costing you money or have added to the hassle. Akashenk may have given you the best suggestion trying to call and reference your prior confirmation number that you cancelled and see if they will reinstate it. Other than that just keep trying online and I'd call once a week ........... it never ceases to surprise me what type of pricing pops up out of the blue on occasions. Take a look at riverph7 post as a good example of working the system. It all comes down to what minor inconveniences you are comfortable putting up with. Personally I just treat it as a game. I win when I pay the least for the level of convenience I require to fully enjoy the time I spend. LOL I honestly end up spending 5 times the amount on hotels of my 24 days it cost me in Las Vegas on the 14 days I take visiting National Parks on my drive home.....and trust me I work those rates too Best of luck to whatever you end up doing.

I've been to conventions at Caesars. Lots of space but a pain to get to. I'm glad it's not there.

There’s direct indoor access from the Linq. But yes, going to one’s room on break would be very difficult.

Thank you for your helpful replies, I have a booking June 30 to July 3, and trying to make another one June 25 to June 28 (skipping 2 nights), but I am getting a message that I already have booking during this period, and must use the normal rate. I tried June 25 to June 27, and did not get that message, so is it "skip 2 nights" or "skip 3 nights"?

It’s 2 nights as per my experience.

I just booked last week from June 18-23 & June 25-30.
Unless because my first booking is at Flamingo and 2nd at Cromwell.
Or is it depending on tier status ? Like Diamond or Diamond Plus ?

My experience has been 3 nights. Although, I can call and book. The weird thing is the rate offered is typically slightly higher than what is shown online. But it's much better than the rate if you log out and book.

I really missed having a coffee maker at the Horseshoe. The Gold Coast adjacent to Rio had this.
Here is my answer that invokes memories of my college days -- an immersion heater. I don't mind instant coffee. It's what I have at home.

Hey everybody,

playing WSOP ME this year. Coming from germany.
Played some WSOP events in the last years....but I cant remember:-)

Is it possible to walk-in on day 4, make a caesar reward card, pay cash and register?
Or do I have to do some prior registrations?

Arriving on 4th, so I dont have much time for organization.

Thx.

Well, you arriving on the 4th (day 81B) means that you could play 81C the next day or wait for 81D the day after to overcome your jet lag. I don't see a problem with you getting a reward card and registering/buying in. Good luck.

This is always goofy....I ALWAYS have this exact same issue . It should be 2 days BUT I personally have to stay away 3 when booking online. Others like River and Asa have no problem with the official 48 hour rule.
I suggest you book it online then change it with a call direct to the Property. Inconvenient but it works

So its possible to walk in and pay by cash?
No preparations?

If you have players card , sure just go to cashiers and register.

If you don’t have a player’s card , get the card and go to cashier!!

The rule is 48 hours, but who knows if the online computer system has issues or not. Their system is pretty bad. It could be that it gets confused when you make a second booking at the same property. I wonder if there would be any difference booking the first week and then trying to book the second week, instead of in reverse like you did here.

Anyhow, I almost always book through a rep because then I can pick the advantageous nights to use comps on rather than use the online system which just picks the first x nights to use comps on.

There may be a difference in the type of Rep you get based on Diamond vs Diamond+ status. I don't think this was the case prior to the El-Dorado acquisition, but it may very well be now.

If you're going to be there for a few days, Walmart also has a small microwave for 55 bucks. If you get a few day's worth of use out of it, you could probably just leave it there.

You can buy a 5 cup coffee maker from Walmart for $10 or a 6 cup Mr Coffee $20

I bring one with me.

All you need is a current reward card and $10,000 USD
So if you are traveling with Euros not USD you'd need to convert the currencies first. Other than that buying in is very simple. Cashing gets trickier due to tax laws but as I recall the rules were on the WSOP site last year.

Just got my Diamond status renewed. Was offered the same price for a room at Paris as I paid for Horseshoe. Cancelled Horseshoe and booked the Paris room for a week.

Good call on the switch or is Horseshoe being a bit closer to the action a better choice? I’ve never stayed at Paris but hear it’s better than Horseshoe as far as quality is concerned.

Paris is better quality rooms and day 1s might be in Paris anyway.

Thx for your helpful reply.
Yes, this was the way I register side events and DSE in the last years.
Registration information left me a little bit confused.
I can change eur in usd from friends coming back from vegas...so its very easy...think i still have an old reward card:-)

Yeah, cashing will be a problem. Last cash in Venetian was 2k and no problem. Hope they will have an tax agent at the wsop this year:-)

You may already have an account, but technically, Caesar’s reward status expires each year. Regardless, you will want to get a new card when you show up. You just have to go to the Caesars Rewards desk and show your id and they will print a new card. They may even have kiosks for this sort of thing now, but they probably only work with US drivers licenses.

I don’t think the WSOP will have someone there to help with taxes, but there is usually a company advertising such services in a kiosk in the hall. Don’t forget to bring a second document (like a recent utility bill with a matching address on it). I’ve seen conflicting info as to whether this is necessary, but it can’t hurt.

If you have an ITIN, I don’t think the WSOP will withhold taxes from residents of a tax-treaty country, like Germany. So you’ll probably be able to collect the full payout amounts. If you don’t have an ITIN, you can apply for one during the WSOP, but I know there have been issues in the past with obtaining one in a timely fashion. And you may have to pay the withholding tax and then apply for reimbursement. You can Google “WSOP ITIN” and find a lot more recent info.

I have a question. If you are staying at the Linq and you want to get over to the WSOP using the monorail, how long would this take including the walking and monorail time, literally hotel room to WSOP tournament section?

You are probably better off walking. I think the best route would be to walk the strip and when you get to Cromwell walk through the casino as the back end spits you out across the street from an entrance to Bally's with a cross walk across Flamingo to boot.



The green line is rough location of crosswalk.

I just stayed at the Linq and did this walk a few times to get the the poker room. From a time standpoint maybe 15 minutes.

Bonus for coffee drinkers - there are two cafe's right outside the elevators to access Linq rooms. One is a Dunkin Donuts. Download the app to avoid lines(assuming the app works at this location as I never tried it).
