I believe it depends on how many people end up in the contest, because unlike the NTRA/DRF contest, you can buy your way into this one for something like $1,000 I think. It seems to attract around 700-800 people, and the top prize should I have the world's most incredibly lucky weekend, seems to usually be between $350-500K.

Now I just have to find someone to hang out with there!

On Sunday, it was $20 to buy-in and I bought two entries. I won $500 cash, and $500 to travel with which was essentially just $500 cash. So $1000 for the contest I won.

Though I'm looking at airfare and hotels, and I'm going to stay an extra day for fun, so I'm basically going to end up spending about $800 just to get there and stay to play in the contest.

It's at Orleans. It looks like I'll be staying at Imperial Palace, because I intend on having at least a little bit of fun in the days I'm there, and that place is going for about $480 for five nights, along with a $220 airfare.

Trust me, I've been scouring everything I can to try to make it cheaper. I don't make that much money, so spending almost all of my contest winnings on just getting out there is a big pain in my ass
