As long as you sit at the NL tables. Don't even think of sitting at the limit tables. You will have to be committed to the insane asylum before the night is over. STUPID people playing those tables.

My thing with the poker tourneys out there is that if you win, you have to sign a w2G, DRIVES ME F'N NUTS

Nice, I plan on playing in a few poker tourneys at the Excalibur this weekend. Going to Vegas for the first time, but mostly for business. Staying at the Luxor on Saturday night and the Palms Sunday and Monday nights.

Yeah, last minute notice on the trip, so I just booked a room in a hotel that looked cool. Now I've been reading reviews and it doesn't seem so great.

$35 buy-in at 9AM, 11AM, 1PM (or at least that's what they were the last 2 years). Get there an hour early to register. Most end up with 3-4 tables, except for 2 tables sometimes on weekdays for the early one and you want to get there early, as you do not want to be an alternate. They also pay a good number of places (2 per table).

Mandalay and Monte Carlo are $50 and that's what I'm going to try when I go at the end of Nov.... along with playing Excalibur once or twice.

Just got back two weeks ago...spent a week there...Didn't do a lot of gambling cuz it was the Mrs. and I, but we liked the Wynn and Mandalay from an overall casino satisfaction. Stayed at NYNY and it started off rocky, but quickly improved. We checked in at noon, went to our room, noticed it was a little warm in there but hey it's Vegas and it was 112 outside so we didn't pay much attention to it and hit the streets. The next time we came through the doors it was 4 a.m. and it was blazing in there. They had to change out the ac motor in our room and as they were doing so, there was a knock on our door and it was a bellman with the cart and the keys to our new room. We started with the 3rd level room and got bumped literally 5 levels. It was just over 1500 square feet.....next time though, we'll probably stay at the Venetian.
