Don't forget that the WSOP finale will be shown on ESPN on Tuesday.
The WSOP site will have a live AUDIO broadcast of the final table action this Sunday starting at 1 PM ET.
Note that when I tried to withdraw US dollars today for the trip, I was told that I have to give notice first and have to come back next week. The banks and some businesses are closed on Tuesday, Remembrance Day.

Yeah bank told me there has been a real run on US cash. Main BMO branch of Cambridge had only a single $100 bill. Give me break. Gave me traveller's checks for free though because they had so little cash.

How much did you need? I was told before my trip this past July that anything over $1K you should give them 3 business days or so to prepare

Yikes, what ghetto ass bank was that? Also, if you are with TD you can request the foreign currency online and then choose a bank to pick it up at..
Ok for real drunk ass poker, how about giving the Excaliber daily tournies at the electronic tables.... Not much rake but should be good or a laugh to at least say we tried them... I can't wait to see what Blondefish's evaluation of them would be...
9am: $18+$2 tournament
1pm: $25 + $5 tournament
Plus a $2500 freeroll tournament per month for most frequent players. I guess they couldn't afford the $500 per day!
Wheelspin is back but for aces full or better (and not for cracked aces)
Bad beat jackpot is back
It was TD! I asked on Friday if I needed to give notice to withdraw from my U$ account, and they said I have to wait until Monday for more than a couple of thousand. I didn't have this problem in June when I withdrew more than that, so moose is probably right that there has been a run on US dollars.

Sucks-calibur's f*cking electronic tables are for "douchebags, nitty fags & retards."
It's +EV for the forumers at Las Vegas to be playing at separate tables and places anyway, so have fun at Excalibur.

If I can propose an alternate.. rather than it being a 'run' on the USD.. I'll bet that the credit crunch caused TD to reduce the amount of cash it has physically sitting at each branch..

Boys - I'm still in Chicago, getting back in tmr at around noon.
I'll give Mark/Jeff a text after we land to see where they're at and we'll hook up or something - either we can wait til the Mooses arrive to go to Todai together, or we can do brunch at Bellagio or something.
Shannon - PM me your flight #, and we'll meet up with you at your designated baggage claim area.
I only understand Celsius, so I looked up the temperatures as ranging from 9°C-26°C in Las Vegas. Remember to bring some warm clothing as the low will be around 0°C on Tuesday morning flying out of Buffalo/Detroit and possibly upon return. It can also be freezing sitting in the air-conditioned casinos, so I will bring a jacket and long-sleeve shirts. DrTyore may not want to go pant-less on this trip.
Here is my plan so we have an idea of where everybody is.
Tuesday
- westside8 & I arrive at Las Vegas ~10 AM. Meet up with stpboy to take taxi or shuttle bus.
- Do $20 trick at IP to upgrade to Deluxe Room with quiet pool view and ESPN HD; get casino safe.
- Try to play the Mega Stack $235 by noon.
- 8-11 PM, watch WSOP final table on ESPN HD.
Daily
- 8 AM everyday, walk to Venetian or Caesars Palace to sign up for satellites.
- 11 AM - 2:30 PM, free buffet daily at Venetian.
- Noon, play in DSE or Mega Stack event
- After each event, sign up for satellites.
- Try to join any forumer for dinner.

Agreed!! I have a US$ account and so far I've had no problems with it getting money, but I've never gotten anything over 1K.

Apparently the Mirage has a pretty consistent 10/20 lhe game in the afternoons.
I should point out that those sandwiches are nothing to get too excited about.
