Vegas June 2026

Planning
Last Updated: 2026-04-29 18:14:23
Plan is that I'm going to drive my Mustang Mach-E out on June 9th.
Joann is flying out June 15th, she heads home on the 24th, and I leave super early on the 26th to get home in time for a Wallflowers concert that night.
Yes, I've done some mapping and I am confident there are enough places to charge even across the desolation of Utah!
I've got a cheap room to start the trip, but we'll be in a penthouse once Joann shows up.
As far as poker, the WSOP full schedule is out. I'm missing my two favorites, 8-game and PLO8 mix, but there's a HORSE tournament the day after I arrive, then Razz, seniors and 2-7 Triple Draw within my timeframe so I have enough to choose from.
But I've been saying for a couple of years I need to focus more on more stuff around town and less WSOP so I'm looking forward to see what the other poker rooms do!
I will update as schedules are released!
UPDATE:
I've gone through all the schedules and come up with a notional day-to-day plan.
There are a lot of days where frankly there's only one option at best that I would even be interested in. That said, almost every day there is a 6pm PLO8 at MGM Grand and 7pm NLH at Aria. I'm not going to include that in my list, but almost any day even if I say it's a day off it's possible I could buy into either of those and play into the night after spending a day with Joann.
I plan to play the day Joann arrives since she's now arriving late in the day. After that, tho, it happens to work out that there's something I want to play in on all the even numbered days and either nothing that interests me or nothing I couldn't miss on all the odd days. There is a very reasonable chance I won't play any of the 17th-19th (again, at least early all-day things) so once Joann arrives I could be playing only every other day.
With that, here's the plan:
  • 6/09 Drive the Mustang to Vegas
  • 6/10 $800 NLH Aria
  • 6/11 $400 NLH MGM Grand
  • 6/12 $500 8-Game Mix Golden Nugget
  • 6/13 $500 NLH Seniors OR TORSE Nugget
  • 6/14 $500 NLH Seniors Nugget OR $300 NLH Orleans OR $800 WSOP DS
  • 6/15 $600 O8/S8 Orleans, Joann arrives
  • 6/16 $600 Mixed Limit 2-7 Orleans
  • 6/17 Cabana day with Joann
  • 6/18 $400 PLO8 Orleans
  • 6/19 Day with Joann (cabana again already?)
  • 6/20 $1500 WSOP 2-7 Triple-Draw
  • 6/21 $500 WSOP DS OR $400 6-Game (w/Badugi + 27TD) Nugget or day off
  • 6/22 $1100 11-Game Mix Orleans
  • 6/23 Probably day off Joann's last day but there is a draw mix at Orleans
  • 6/24 $400 Triple Draw Mix Nugget after dropping Joann at the airport
  • 6/25 I leave a day earlier than originally planned, nothing interesting so I'll be home for Friday poker night
That's it!
