After you select "Stay" at the bottom, it'll provide a list of hotels. Then select "Rates from $$$>" under any hotel and it'll bring up a page for that hotel. At the top left, touch the hamburger (the 3 horizontal lines) and you'll see that one of the options is for "Flights + Hotels".

Good luck!

Got 4 nights at the Horseshoe for 90 bucks total and no resort fees. Booked on their website and I have diamond.

Got curious and looked at the rio, it was 33 dollars ***OFFICIAL 2023 WSOP THREAD***.

Using my frontier miles for free flights. Cheapest transportation for a Vegas trip I’ve had.

Looking at the Daily Mega Satellites that run May 30-July 14 ( 3pm,7pm & 10pm) I assume these are new and replacing the single table satellites?
Trying to figure out the structure and how long they will run, anyone have any inside information on those?

Is this what you are referring to ? "Daily Deep Stack tournaments will once again run every day from June 1-July 17, with buy-ins ranging from $200 to $400. In addition, Daily Mega Satellites will happen from May 31-July 14 with buy-ins starting at $135 and topping off at $250,000. "

https://www.wsop.com/2023/

If so it is HIGHLY unlikely that they won't ALSO be running single table satellites in addition to the above. Single table Satty's have been an institution ranging from $75 to $1,000 buy in paying off in Lammers since at least 2006.

The rumor is they aren’t doing single table satellites this year and no more lammers. I don’t know if that’s true but that’s what Twitter has said. I guess for the Mega Satellites, they will be crediting your account with any wins you have instead of lammers. I think they’re trying to stop people from selling them.

If all this is true, I will be very disappointed. Used to enjoy doing a bunch of cheap sit and go satellites and trying to sell my lammers to people in the registration line.

Last year I believe it was April 24th. Since the schedule was announced earlier this time than last, maybe registration will start earlier too?
I am keen on jumping on that when it does start.

If they don’t, maybe they will lower prices during low demand. But I imagine demand is fairly high right now with lots of people booking for the WSOP. Just watch the rates over time. They have a tendency to come down as the event gets closer.
Not so sure about that. I am seeing rates higher today than when I booked very early on 2/2/2023.

How does grocery delivery (Shipt, etc.) work with casino hotels? Do I have to meet them at the curb?

I did like the Single Table Satellites as well, they used to list them on the bottom of the WSOP schedule but they are absent this year. They now list the Daily Mega Satellites.

Daily Mega Satellites May 30 - July 14
$240 Buy-In at 3 PM (net prize pool = multiples of $2,000 paid in Tournament Buy-In Credit)
$580 Buy-In at 7 PM (net prize pool = multiples of $5,000 paid in Tournament Buy-In Credit or $1,100 Buy-In (net prize pool = multiples of $10,000 paid in Tournament Buy-In Credit). $135 Buy-In at 10 PM (net prize pool = multiples of $1,000 paid in Tournament Buy-In Credit)

I'm not inherently against the megas as they tend to be a little less variance heavy with slower structures than the single tables. They just eat up more of your time. I think the tradeoff for more playability over time is worth it and rewards better play over luck.

I will be darned from Kevin M it sure sounds like Lammers are history so I guess that means no single table sats after all.

Not sure that will be a positive for the attendance - certainly there were lots of locals and regulars that specialized and just played the single tables to sell lammers but it was a cheap shot for pure rec's to get into events. Maybe the Mega's will have the same effect .............. regardless it will be interesting.

My favorites are Dailey Deep-stacks, and they pay cash . I hope they didn’t changed that !

Very disappointing. WSOP won't be the same. I liked the early $65 ones to warm up on, since I can't play anywhere near where I live.

There’s been a crackdown on a lot of tax-related aspects of the gaming industry, especially poker. IRS gotta get theirs.

The satellite situation is disappointing for sure, but since it looks like they are crediting your account will you be able to use money won in the mega-sat's to buy into higher mega-satellites?
***OFFICIAL 2023 WSOP THREAD*** Quote

I think that's a safe assumption, particularly since many of the mega satellites are structured in steps.

What "account" is this? Do we have to open accounts now?

You need a Caesar’s rewards card to participate in the WSOP, but I believe the Account they are referring to is the “Tournament Account” whereby players can deposit funds and use them throughout the series by registering through the bravo poker app and printing seat assignment and receipts at kiosks as opposed to the cages. All that requires a bit of overhead to set up, so who knows exactly how they will handle it, unless they just do it the first time you win a satellite.

In any case, I’m not sure what other “account” they could be talking about depositing winnings into.

I said that assuming there is an account associated with "Tournament Buy-in Credit" referenced in the schedule pdf:
