| It should come as no surprise to anyone that I already have our June WSOP trip booked at Aria even tho I haven't gone on this trip yet. 7.5 months ahead of time is definitely a new record. But there are reasons...
|
| For this trip, the plan is to drive out very early on the first Friday of November and return the following Wednesday. Got a ridiculously low rate at Luxor, and I actually look forward to the extra walking I'll do staying there.
|
| That gives me 4.5 poker days since I expect to easily make it there in time for the 7pm at Aria on Friday.
|
| At current gas prices driving will be cheaper than flying even doing it by myself, it means I have a car and can get my In-N-Out fix, will probably mean some cheap meals and who knows what else I can do if I end up with time to kill I don't expect. In spite of all the liquor we bought to stock the bar in June, there were some "I should have boughts" and the money I would save on some of those things will make up for some of the travel cost.
|
| It's possible that I could change my mind and fly, but driving also makes it easy for a friend to jump in with me at the last minute if any of my poker friends want to tag along and split gas. Plenty of room in the car.
|
| Hmmm...so I'm justifying driving to Vegas by touting how much money I'll save on liquor. Something about that just doesn't sound good, does it :-)
|
| As of now I expect to play every daily tournament at Aria Friday afternoon through Tuesday. There is a seniors tournament at Venetian's fall Deepstack event that Monday. Hate putting even a penny into Adelson's pocket but I did cash the last time I played a seniors event there so you never know. That looks to be the only tournament series event in Vegas while I'm there. |
