Phoenix, AZ has good poker choices and isn't too terribly far from Laughlin or Vegas. The summer heat is a killer though. As an Arizona near native I could sit and stare at the river in Laughlin all day because water is so scarce here. Just went to see Crystal Gayle in concert a couple months ago at the Riverside, it was perfectly fine and the dinner at the Prime Rib place was fantastic, we love Laughlin!

Pretty sure Excalibur has a hot tub next to their pool - most other places you'll have to shell out for the spa to get into a hot tub

MGM Grand has an awesome pool area with a hot tub
I remember sitting in there with a bunch of old black guys last year

Park MGM has a nice hot tub, I chilled in there last November when it was chilly out

+2

Love going to El charro on the other side of the river.. hiking ,
There is a Culver's close by .

My gf who is 25 also loves going once a year or so..

Thoughts on the monorail? Booked at Harrahs for mid June WSOP. Will be at Shoe/Paris for WSOP but also cash at Venetian and maybe Wynn or resorts world if mood strikes me. Mostly hotel to WSOP and the other variants.

Booked at harrahs for 5 nights for $500 total. MGM is $340 all in. I don’t need much other than clean/quiet room. Have stayed at MGM and thought it was fine, location being a negative. Never stayed harrahs and while locale is better, not so sure on quiet and quality.

Worth it to switch to mgm and combo of walk, monorail, uber? Is monorail a super pain to get to at each stop (MGM, Paris, Harrahs seem ideal, just not sure how easy to access the rail stops thru casino).

Pretty easy walk Harrah's -> P/Shoe IMO. You are barely outside if you do it right. Cross over into Linq, exit southside mid-casino, cross Linq Promenade to Flamingo, walk thru Flamingo, exit at southwest corner, cross alley and jump into Cromwell, exit by the Valet (east side). Cross Flamingo Blvd at light to Horseshoe, enter at rideshare entrance away from Strip.

I did Park MGM -> P/Shoe two years ago. Walking there in the morning for WSOP was no issue. Monorail seems convenient, but I've never done it. All of the monorail stations are far removed from the Strip, on the backside of the properties. For WSOP, this seems convenient, but I have no experience.

Uber'ing from either property to/from WSOP seems like it would be less convenient than walking 10-20 minutes, but I don't fear walking in the heat.

I'm staying at Ellis Island this year for my brief WSOP stay. Should be a hoot!

Can't add this pic to my response...

Az,

Thanks - uber reserved mostly for longer stretch late at night or in dead heat (ie, Venetian to MGM). Not afraid of walking some, actually feels good after sitting at poker table. East side of LV Blvd shaded in morning so walk to WSOP from Harrahs or MGM not bad. I sweat pretty easily so prefer to avoid swamp ass without being able to change.

It's been a pretty long time since I've stayed at Harrahs, so I'm not even sure there still is such a thing, but if there is, and you want quiet, don't get a room facing Carnival Court.

Harrah’s is just fine. Also the casino is more active and funner. Monorail is a joke, if at MGM one heck of a walk to get on, may as well walk 5 more minutes. Stay at Harrah’s is playing at Venitian and Wynn, thank me later. I like Horseshoe best, but I play at Bellagio

Oops wrong quoted guy!

you getting those prices du to comps or just how rates are? they seems super low for just flat our rate that you can get,.

either way good deal

also maybe my 2p2 is bugged but I was looking for hotel review thread and its gone? I cant even see a page 2? is anyone else able to view or post it?

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/108/l...

It looks like you need to use the search function to find threads not on the first page.

thanks its sad we don havea page 2 i wonder if it just wipes threads from pages after a year or something like that

Siap but I will be out there for five days in June, as I always am, and want to play online. How easy is it to put cash on and play, what sorts of tournament buy ins are there, and can it be done with the wsop+ app??

Thanks for any info.

Scroll down, and you'll see this:

No idea why it is "Last 75 Days" by default.

Just using Caesars Rewards app, no comp or status. Those rates included resort fees. MGM rates for places not fancy (MGM Grand, Park, Excalibur, etc) all < $100 per day incl resort fees & tax - I have basic level (Sapphire) on MGM app

thank you had no clue about this. thats weird for default

As far as wsop you can add to an established account at any ceaser property cage..

20$ bill for early checkout would work or no? it says check in at 4 but i wont arrive till 11

Huh?

Early checkout is never a problem, but that's not what you're describing.

Seems like you are asking about late checkin. Normally the time given for that means the earliest time you can check in. Sometimes the latest check in time is also given, but there is no way it would be as early as 4pm.

If you're going to be late enough that you're worried they won't hold your reservation, just call them early in the day to ask them to please hold your room until late. 99% chance they'll say yes, and you won't need to bribe anyone to do it.

My bad I meant I’d my checkin is at 4 and I want to get in earlier. Would the 20$ trick work if I say is there any way I can check in earlier

How did that become "I won't arrive until 11"?

Anyway though, I have checked in early lots of times, and occasionally been denied. Never have offered money, I just asked nicely.

A few places may allow it if a fee is paid. But mostly it's up to the employee, and usually they will let you check in early (for free) if there are rooms cleaned and vacant of the standard you have booked.

If no rooms are ready, most hotels are willing to keep your bag there while you go gamble or eat. Generally no fee for that, but a small tip when picking up your bags later is customary.
