Vegas November 2019

Planning
Last Updated: 2019-11-20 21:35:56
I booked Park MGM for Thursday through Wednesday just before Thanksgiving.
Plan is drive out Thursday morning, get there in time for dinner (probably at Tom's Urban 'cause that's what I do...) then play in the 7pm at Aria.
Every day after that it'll be an early tournament at either Planet Hollywood or Aria, and if the early tournament goes poorly or ends in time then the 7pm at Aria.
Sleep, eat, play poker, maybe eat, play poker, late night snack, sleep, rinse, repeat.
There's a WSOP Circuit Event at PH, I will definitely play in the Senior's Event on Friday at 10AM.
Saturday will be the 11am at Aria.
For football Sunday it'll be the 11am again, Packers are a 1:25 start so I'll have to try and watch some of that while I play. The Eagles are on SNF so if the 11am doesn't go well (or doesn't last that long) I'll find a spot to watch that while I eat dinner and late reg for the 7pm.
UPDATE: Packers/Niners moved to SNF, Iggles/'Hawks moved to 10 am local...that's not super convenient, but I may do one 10am Black and Tan, watch the first half and late reg
Monday and Tuesday it'll probably be the 1pm at Aria and the 7pm if necessary. Any of those could be replaced by another Circuit Event tourney if things are going especially well since most of their buyins are higher than Aria.
Then drive home Wednesday morning and cook our turkey Thursday morning. The bad news is that Joann has to work Thanksgiving, but the good news is that this year she got the morning "setup" shift so we get a Thanksgiving dinner at dinner time instead of lunch time this year!
I learned last year that in spite of the day before Thanksgiving being one of the worst travel days of the year it's not so bad driving through southern Utah and western Colorado that day so I expect a pretty smooth trip home.
I was hoping to do something non-Hold'Em this trip, but so far all I could find were some mixed games at Orleans that are on Wednesday's, the only day of the week I'm not playing at either end of the trip.
