Well assuming money isnt an issue, is the lodge that much nicer? Not sure the room rate difference or convenience difference but I think I am heading down sometime next week.

Assuming money isn't an issue, stay at the lodge. It is considerably nicer in almost every aspect. Everything from more comfortable beds, better room service, more space, etc.

EDIT: It is one of my favorite hotels in the world, and I've stayed at a ****load of places.

Taking up to 650 Players for this event 258 seats are sold right now..
You can register at the box office for this event. Box office registration ends 8pm the day before each event... Day of events cash only at Tournament Reg desk.. This should be over in one day like similar event in May. I wont guarentee that obviously.

You can get room service from everything on the tower/hotel menu (even though its not listed on the lodge menu) in addition to the lodge menu. So yes you can.

I mean, I I forget exactly when it was but I know I was in someone lodge room at one of the series last year and they told us no because it would melt on the way there.

I'm like 99% sure I'm not making this up.

Wally confirm 1x?

Can you please confirm that there will be the usual 30% tax withholding on winnings by non-US residents such as Canadians? Does this 30% tax also apply if a Canadian wins in a satellite?

Wouldnt it just be easier to turn your PM's on? I got a PM from you the other day but couldnt reply. Will be checking out the room next week. Also, plan on playing in the ESHC depending upon time.
