mhoward29 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I really suck at finding hotel deals...It is with my wife so it has to be on the strip and middle class to high end but I will check out any deals.I found flights from PDX to Vegas for $99 there each and $79 each back at southwest airlines (anyone know better deals??)I went to lasvegas.com and looked at hotel deals but they all seemed really high to me. Anyone know of that spectacular deal or website to get good savings? usually someone knows something!!Sorry for the new thread, I opened one earlier about Reno.I would prefer Vegas cuz I play low limits at home (4-8, 10-20 LHE. 1-2, 2-5 NLHE) but when I go to Vegas I like to play bigger. Reno just doesnt seem like it would offer anything bigger than my normal games here... but I have never been so I dont know.Any help is greatly appriciated. i will do a trip report if I get some help. I play semi big limits live game when traveling so a trip report might be a good read from me. Also my wife makes me take her to a show, we have seen all the Circ de olay (sp) that was there last year, any new shows any good that people have seen??edit: Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites

mhoward29 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 FTWynnFTWifeYou won't regret this extra money if you can play big limits.I know that the Wynn has big limits but I dont play huge. Im talking $30-60, $40-80 and if i have a big win in those games i will play $80-160 LHE ( I have played that twice).What does FT mean?edit: And yes I know what you mean, the best higher limit games are at the Wynn. Lots of rich fish. Link to post Share on other sites
mhoward29 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Dont you guys go to Vegas??? By what means do you buy your tickets and hotel?? Someone has to know a good deal! Link to post Share on other sites
FourFlusher 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The guy is talking about playing $40-$80, or $80-$160, and crying about the flight and a nice room for his wife costing 4-8 big blinds. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Are you serious, you think that 30/60 and a few levels up don't count as big limits?You're worried about the Wynn being too high for you?You must have never been there huh?and if you really play those limits, I think you can stop worrying about pinching pennies on a hotel.

We use regular money for traveling and what not. I have poker money that is used only for poker. This is known as a bank roll or, BR.And FYI, you dont get well off by spending money, you get rich by getting good deals and saving... Like I said I only like to go all out playing poker when I travel to somewhere that actually has these games. I mostly play 30-60 but I have played 40-80 and 80-160 a couple of times cuz I killed the 30-60 and wanted to try the limits. I didnt consider them high cuz they were by far not the biggest games in the room. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm enlightened.But I think you can spare an extra hundred or two, whether it's from BR or real money and not have to keep asking everyone where the best deals are. There isn't some magical deal thing that people who go regularly know and you don't. You have access to all the same things that everyone else has, and I doubt someone wants to do the searching for you. Link to post Share on other sites

Or a $50 food vocher for a diner in their casino or something like that?? Maybe something that isnt advertised? There are lots of deals out there that arent talked about unless asked.I think you highly doubt the term "word of mouth". Im wasnt asking anyone to search for me, I was asking to hear about any deals that people know about, thanks bud. But if you arent going to contribute to the title of the thread why even post except just to be a jackass? Dont they do that at the NWP site??And again, Im glad that you know my financial situation and that I can "spare a hundred or two". You are really ceasing to amaze me with your knowitallism.

You are really ceasing to amaze me with your knowitallism.If you can play 30/60 comfortably, then yes, you can spare a couple hundred.I don't have to know it all, to know that.and there aren't as many of these special deals as you think there are. If there are any, they're usually based on the specific person who was given the offer and don't apply to everyone.http://www.fatwallet.com/c/63/That's as good as you're gonna find for deals that aren't always advertised. Most of the time though, they are only on certain days, and plenty of times, not everyone qualifies. Link to post Share on other sites
