.50 cent a Dollar hand dealt two deck BJ (Frontier had single deck but even money Black Jack 😀

LOL and aren't you glad those days are "pleasant" memories.

akashenk BTW, I see your Westward Ho and raise you the LV youth hostel… a place I stayed in one night almost 30 years ago. Not for the faint of heart. But I was a kid back then and $12/nt on a holiday weekend hit my budget’s sweet spot.

Okay since we've semi hijacked the thread -I've been trumped. I was 32 and a bit old for hostels. Lots of properties have vanished in 40 years but at least in that day I never had a bit of concern about walking that area of the strip. Partly age, partly society change, partly lack of organized crime (say what you want about places like the Stardust but they didn't want THEIR suckers fleeced by anyone but THEM.

Great, thx friend

Does anyone know if you can walk directly from Ellis Island into the back of the Horseshoe, or do you have to walk around to the side or the front of the Shoe?

How about the Oyo Hotel & Casino across the street from MGM? Is that an ok place for a female to stay on her own? There is a good price on Airbnb there.

Make sure that the fees are included on AirBnB, as I tried booking on there, only to find out that the casino fees actually doubled the announced, which sure is a thing in Vegas, but not on AirBnB.

I played the $1100 Razz last year and actually sattied into the $10k. We finished around 1:30-2 iirc. That said, they have changed everything this year with these "landmark" satellites where like you said, you get a seat once you 10x your stack which is totally different than what I played. We got like 60-ish entries and top 6 got a seat like a normal satellite. I honestly don't know how this new structure will affect the rate of play, or what the optimal strategy for this type of thing is. I will really have to think about it before I head out (probably playing the $10k 2-7 NL SD satty.)

My recollection is that the afternoon $1ks take maybe 6-8 hours to play down to the payouts. They are relatively turbo-y.

Guessing the 7 pm offerings will also move quickly. Payouts by 1-2 AM probably?

Ellis to Horseshoe is an easy walk if you are moderately fit.

Half block along Koval. Hang a left on Flamingo. After another half block, walk in to the Horsehoe using the sliding doors by the Johnny Rockets.

I stayed at Ellis for a few nights during the last WSOP and it was fine. Rooms are fine. Nothing notable, but you won't fear for your life.

Walk is quick. 10 minutes from door to door maybe? In the 100+ degree weather it's still an unpleasant trek, but mercifully short.

Though, I am staying at Horseshoe thx to Diamond + (11days @ $286 Total).

But if not I would have stayed at either Gold Coast or Rio.

From the price you were quoted I would definitely select Gold Coast.

Harrah's, Flamingo, LINQ are actually walkable. If you have to spend 15-20 bucks each way for cabs/uber your savings are going to disappear. Weekends are much more expensive than weekdays. A shorter 5 day trip will be a lot cheaper than a 7 day, but flying all the way from Europe, a 5 day trip would suck.

Thank you so much, you savd me 500 bucks for my stay at the flmingo fab room <3
If you are in Vegas 07/04-07/12 drinks on me.

Short question:
Are there running ME qualifier the whole week? twice a day?
Coming to Vegas at 07/04 at 2pm thinking about jumping into a 1k qualifier same day.

Also try Cromwell !

Just across the Flamingo blvd. Less than 5 minutes walk

I would be kind of surprised if Cromwell were less expensive than Horseshoe, Paris or PH, all of which are in the same vicinity. But it never hurts to check.

Oh , I just checked my reservation. I am in Paris not in horseshoe !!

I have never stayed in Paris!

Any idea how far will be WSOP Main event room from Bordeaux Tower Paris ?

Any response appreciated .

Thx

Congratulations!
Paris is the nicer hotel, imo.

Is the ME only played on the Horseshoe side? I thought some played in Paris, also.

Paris and HS are connected. Where the convention center hallway meets the parking garage escalators and main path to casino, there's a walkway that takes you to the HS side. Look up the Floorplan for each property and you'll see the path. From the elevator location in Paris to sitting at your table in HS will take less than 10 minutes.

Parallax - Fwiw - found an article about Landmark/Milestone satellites. Think they left out a word in the cheating section - should be "does NOT appear"

Also saw somewhere that this approach was used last year with Main Event sattys.

I would think they would move along faster but get weird at the end - especially if they remove all of a qualifier's chips - really shrinks the remaining chip pool

Scroll down to the last page. It gives info on satellite offerings.

Great bro, happy to hear it That said, I was just asking the question myself, but cool that it helped you out regardless!!!

As far as I am concerned, I will be sticking with Rio Hotel, I guess, as Flamingo is significant more expensive (even with Caesar's reward system) and I prefer staying in a hotel with gym, pools and restaurants as opposed to staying in an off the strip AirBnB at half the price... Any suggestions would be welcomed, thx all!

I should of mentioned that the reason I chose the Rio Hotel, was to save about of monies (as opposed to booking Paris, Flamingo etc.), but wanted to be on the strip regardless/within walking distance (at times...), but mainly access to the commodities of a hotel. So saving monies is somewhat important, but not to the extent of being off the strip in a cheap hotel (definitely not) or an AirBnB (okayish option, but still no). So yeah, if anyone has any recommendations/comments/criticism on my plans, please chime in.

I would definitely not call Rio on the strip or within any reasonable walking distance especially in the summer or late at night.

Thx for your comment friend Not safe at night to walk, you say???

In other news, I had booked Rio a month+ ago and upon doing a search today, I saw that I could get at for $400 cheaper, imagine that!!! So yeah, am booking for 19 days and am revisiting hotels on strip on options and AirBnBs off strip...

I agree with Black Aces. I did the walk once, with a friend, and didn't feel too safe in the early evening. You walk up (and maybe down) an on-ramp, and through a couple of sketchy parking lots. Was very deserted.
