2024 World Series of Poker May 28th to July 17th ***No Spoilers***
The 2024 WSOP will take place at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas from May 28 to July 17, 2024, with the Main Event running from July 3 to July 17. The Main Event – poker’s undisputed freezeout world championship – will have four starting days, beginning on Wednesday, July 3. Players may also register directly on Day 2.
Some good ideas in here. If I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying keep the room I already have booked for $1600 for eight nights. As long as the diamond status is activated by the end of my trip, they won’t charge me the resort fees. Is that correct? Even that would be worth the annual fee, let alone the meal credit and the ability to jump the cash lines at Caesars properties.
Yes, the resort fee of $45 a day will be free. Definitely keep trying to book online regardless of your status. Pricing constantly changes. You can always rebook and then cancel the original reservation. Personally I also always call the casino direct they also might be able to find a better deal for your stay.
Yea, years ago Platinum would waive the resort fee and I was staying for a week at Bally's and they confirmed that as long as I made Platinum by the time I checked out(I was basic card) then no resort fees for the entire stay, I knew I needed X amount of hours playing poker to make it, so that gave me extra incentive to make sure to get it and not pay resort fees. lol
No resort fees for Platinum? Those were the days. You pretty much can earn Platinum by sneezing in the direction of a slot machine.

i first came to vegas in 2005 and nobody had resort fees that I ever heard of back then. Maybe around 2010 they started with them. For a year or two Caesars didn't have them at all and even ran anti resort fee ads. Then they caved and added them. For the first year or so they waived them for diamond.
A couple years ago, I'm sure I posted about it here somewhere, I had no status, no table play, no rating, nothing but playing a few dozen hours of poker, but I was still able to book online, then call the hotel, I think it was Caesars, and tell them I noticed a rate decrease online and I wanted to know if they could adjust my rates. They said cancel and rebook. I said I have a players card, is there someone I can talk to who deals with promotions, and they transferred me to someone who immediately, without any persuasion from me, said she was canceling my reservation and rebooking it at the best rate available - $10/night (plus resort fees). So whatever Diamond / 7 Star gets you, and however they usually calculate promos and discounts, as of a couple years ago there were still loopholes and manual overrides. If only I didn't always lose all my money at the WSOP, I'd actually be eager to try this again...
Chance to play a $1k tournament, min cash, and win $1m is just absolutely absurd. With two $1m bounties last year and first place being around $1m as well, the value is just incredible.
That combined with the pretty cool concept of going to the middle of the room and getting announced when you pull a chest creates a different experience for new people coming into poker other than the hoodie and sunglasses vibe.
I get how some people find the constant audio of the bounties ringing annoying on day 2, but well worth it for the positives honestly.
Or you could just play on GG.
Yeah let me and the thousands of other US WSOP players just log into GG, my mistake.
I had to call them a few times when I first got it last year. I can’t remember what the issue was but they wanted to talk to me via phone. I don’t know if they just wanted to make sure I was legit or what.
In my case, it seems they need me to send in a copy of a utility bill to prove my business address. Easy peasy.
Also regarding the Wyndham Business card to Caesars Diamond match: if you do a little internet sleuthing, you'll see that some people have used Diamond to get free or heavily reduced cruises in recent years. Now, this could have just been the cruise industry in the post-COVID era trying to right their ships (yes, pun intended) so YMMV.
so the ToC isn't being played at the wsop and is last minute announced in LA?
seems scammy

Yeah this is the first I heard and that is total BS.
I have zero interest in going to LA to play some lame circuit stop, and who wants to make a special trip to LA just to play what amounts to a comped $1500 tournament with a tougher than average field.
Just the cost of going to and staying in LA eats up the value of the free roll. I might as well stay in S Florida and enter a $1500 tournament with a softer field with all the money I would have wasted going to LA.

Isn’t the ToC a fairly recent addition (last five years or so)? I wonder if this is their way of gradually fading it out. Makes me think they wanted to just cut it completely this year but after people kept asking, they cobbled this together.

Yeah I figured something was up with it when it wasn't on the schedule with the rest of the WSOP.
Whether it's that or the commerce paying them off somehow for the promotion, it stinks for anyone that doesn't live in SoCal.
I was looking forward to flying to Vegas for a week or two of WSOP tournaments at the same time as the ToC. The freeroll justified the overhead. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was thinking this way.
Now needing an extra flight, rental car, room, etc. I'm questioning whether it's worth going to either the ToC or the WSOP this year. I might be better off staying in Florida and playing here while most of the pros are gone playing in Vegas.
Okay, so suppose lightning strikes, and you win a WSOP tournament.
Where do you want to take your rail to celebrate?
In considering your answer, bear in mind that sometimes final tables finish late at night, and there are fewer options open.
Anyone seen this year's wire transfer instructions on the WSOP SITE ? I'll just continue paying my banks wire fee (free for me) and the $2 event charge to use my funds (as I recall) at the buy in windows as long as that remains an option.
