GaF Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll Thanks everyone! :) Does anyone who's already qualified for it, or been before, know the best (and cheapest!!!) places to stay or fly from? I'm rubbish at this kind of thing!!! Gatwick direct to Vegas is the best bet I think - anything else and you have to change....... Is with Virgin - www.virginatlantic.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll Remember - if you qualify for main event, you'll have to stay out there longer ....... so make sure you get a flexible ticket For hotels - you can book at www.expedia.co.uk or www.ebookers.co.uk - their rates are usually ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll My advice is get to vegas, and check out the hotel offers that day at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll Very well done fella, Gaz. :ok A bit weird to turn up in Las Vegas just for a STT though. :\ Looks like $2,000 is gonna burn a hole alright. It could cost anything up to $1,000 to get there (and back?) and up to $250 a night for a decent hotel room! :$ :eek Have a look at these links: http://www.vegas.com/resorts/index.html http://www.cheapovegas.com/vegas_cheapo_sleep.php#cheapest EDIT: If you flying to Las Vegas with Virgin Atlantic, you can get points just for flying out. It's a bit of bother just to sign up and what not but it all adds up. http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/frequentflyer/earnmiles/index.jsp?WT.mc_id=uk_mmmJun06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB80 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll Thanks for the help folks! :ok It is a bit wierd that I'm only going for a STT, but hopefully it's worth it! :hope I was telling someone yesterday I really needed a week off work, so I'll treat it more as a holiday than anything.

GaF Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll My advice is get to vegas' date=' and check out the hotel offers that day at the airport.[/quote'] I think you have to have at least your first nights accommodation booked or they won't let you into the country!! (Vaguely seem to recall reading that post 9/11 they are enforcing this and sending people straight back to where they came from if they don't have first night booked) Also wondering - is there a shortage of accommodation during WSOP? (I've no idea - but imagine it's a possibility!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: WSOP 1k Sat For Main Event Freeroll no shortage of accom, just highly inflated prices managed to get a flight for gaz for 480 from mytravel and from manchester too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
