I think there are just too many conflicts with the PLO/PLO8:
6/21- Day 1 of WSOP 1.5k PLO and a 570 PLO @ GN
6/22- Aria 465 PLO8
6/23- Day 1 of WSOP 1.5k PLO8
That's a lot of potential runners missing.

I know it'll be tough to move a 2 starting flight, 2-day event but if you want to reconsider, 6/14, 6/18, and 6/20 are the three dates still empty of PLO or PLO8 events in Las Vegas, if you can work any magic around those dates (though be warned of the WSOP 1500 PLO on the 21st). And 6/17 if you're like me and are too lazy to go downtown to Binion's.
As AllInTheDark suggested, I'd also strongly recommend 6/17-6/19 or 6/18-6/20 (but please not 6/19-6/21 because of the WSOP 1500 PLO). If you don't have the room/consecutive dates available, it's also not out of the question to make it a one starting flight, two day event.... (There is a Venetian $600 PLO Bounty on the 19th which is why I recommend 6/17-6/19 over 6/18-6/20).
I'm not against a single starting flight (that might open up 6/14 & 15, e.g.), although that would also likely result in a smaller GTD.
I don't think the DSE 600 PLO Bounty is that bad of a conflict, esp. if PH goes with early start times on those days. It's also a 2 day MTT, but has only 50k GTD. There would be some conflict for either 6/17-19 or 6/18-20:
6/17- Day 2 of WSOP 1.5k Mixed O8, day 2 of Bin 585 PLO, 360 Bin PLO
6/18- GN 360 FLO8 (rather minor)
6/19- Day 1 of DSE 600 PLO Bounty
6/20- Day 2 of DSE 600 PLO Bounty
I recommended 6/18-20 as more ideal, because it seems like less of a conflict IMO. O8 players could play FLO8 @ GN on 6/18, then play a day 1 flight of PLO/PLO8 on 6/19, with no O8 conflicts on day 2. PLO players could play a day 1 flight of PLO/PLO8 on 6/18. PH would still have the much higher GTD (and superior structure) than DSE 600 PLO Bounty.
