Upcoming WSOP Trip
I am traveling to Las Vegas later this month -- super excited. This is my plan and I welcome any suggestions. I am looking for some input on what to play on Wed June 25 and Fri June 27 if I get bounced on day one in the multi-day events.
Mon, June 23 -- arrive, check in to hotel (Bellagio!), go to WSOP site to verify the app.
Tues, June 24 -- $1000 Super Seniors Event -- play in this 4-day event, take it down and come home with $$$
But if that doesn't go as planned, I need some back-up tournaments:
Wed, June 25 - Orleans NLH Mega Stack? WSOP Daily Deep Stack? MGM Mystery Bounty? What about Resorts World? (I have never played there and I don't know what their tournaments are like.
Thu, June 26 -- $1100 Venetian Super Seniors
Fri June 27 -- MGM "Older than Moneymaker"? WSOP Daily Deep Stack? Resorts World?

I would not recommend the WSOP daily deepstacks. They're playing 10-handed in a cramped room and they stick the absolute newest/worst dealers in that room where the less prestigious stuff takes place.
You're better off going somewhere else that has professional dealers and will provide a better player experience. All the other events you mentioned are better options.
I'm guessing you're leaving too soon to play the multi-day gladiators of poker at the WSOP on Friday? That's another option too. There's a good chance that one might also be 10-handed, but at least it's a bracelet event that will have a big payday up top.
Thanks for the head's up about the WSOP daily deep stacks. I really dislike playing 10-handed because of the lack of room.
If nothing else, RW is a nice property with a beautiful poker room. Quite a trek from the WSOP, but worth visiting. Their dailies offer good structure, a decent competitive level (some good players, some weak players), and a more realistic chance to make a final table run than the all-or-nothing WSOP branded events. Definitely a good option to fill a slot on an open day.
Thanks for the advice. I may check it out if I have an open day. I have never been to RW.
I made it to Day 3, which was incredibly fun and exciting. I loved the whole experience and will be back next year. Thanks for the helpful comments.
