WSOP / WPT / EPT DiscussionThis section is for discussing major online poker tournaments such as the WSOP, EPT, WPT, WSOPE, LAPT, APPT and any others you can think of. Planning to go or looking for satellites online of offline? Discuss here.
now that i have confirmed going down to the WSOP i just want to prepare the minimal cost of stay and max for play. last year when i went during february my total expense in CAD was $430 for return flights and accommodation (7 night stay at imperial). this time around it will be more for sure but i'd like to get advice on saving $$.
is there any hotel that has free wifi? is there a way to get free meals when booking your hotel (like 3 free breakfasts)? i plan on staying a while so my costs will run high but if anyone needs to split a room here we can do it...cut the costs in half. not a creeper or anything but pretty much all my friends have work and or can't make it b/c of school during june 10-19. i'm going to book the flight as soon as i get a cheap deal and hotel im going wait b/c harrahs is offering two nights free during some period of stay up till may for now. so im hoping the june offers will come out next month.
and besides imperial what's the cheapest hotel to stay in with a fridge lol. i didnt even get a fridge last time around which was a pain!
Bump, I may have the chance to go to vegas, looking at 1st week of May if I can get some time off work which probably is slim to none but any tips where to look for flights and hotel?
I would prefer direct flights which I know are going to be more money, so far I just checked out lasvegas.com which shows good flights but for quite a bit more money.

Rapz4lyfe, If you don't want to stay at IP, then your next cheapest Harrah's property on the strip will probably be the Flamingo. With your total rewards card, you should get some room offers there for $40 or so... and Yes, the June hotel room offers should start in early March.
If you are into buffets and want to save some $$, although your stomach would not want to do this more than a couple of times, Harrah's has the "Buffet of Buffets" pass that allows you a full 24 hours to eat at any of their buffets for $45. So, if you buy it at say 7pm one night, you can get dinner, breakfast, lunch and squeeze in a second dinner at any, or all, of the Rio, Caesars, PH, Paris, IP, Harrahs and Flamingo. Not a bad deal, but you gotta go slightly off hours when the lines are not huge.
I booked my flights this past weekend through Expedia for June 16 - 23, so I am definitely going at that time.

Crazykoby and myself, as well as another buddy or 2 will be down there from the 17th to 24th'ish
We have our room booked at Rio for the whole stay. Crazykoby got us the room for $90 for the whole week.(comps are awesome)
I have booked a 1 way ticket, so I can stay or leave as early as I want. Flights home last minute are cheap if you don't mind the red eye and a stop over

I was in vegas staying at IP and playing Venetian's Deepstack Events at the beginning of February this year. So at Venetian sitting at the poker table I searched for WIFI on my iPhone, and it asked me to accept the terms, I did. Did not ask me for any hotel info like room number or my credit card number.
And I was connected to their WIFI. Checked my email, twitter, facebook, and this forum without any problems

That is an amazing rate for a week at the Rio!
I am going down solo again, so I would be glad to connect for some drinks/poker sometime during the week and we will probably be in a few of the same events/DSEs. We can start a "Who's going down thread" as it gets closer.
omg i need a deal like the one steve kerr just got....is there any chance of me getting it? lol.....man its so nice to here that venetian is where i can get the wifi......i will be there for sure to sneak in some internet time......i mean if the casinos can offer free drinks wifi should be there as well.......
