Vegas (4 Viewers)

I'm supposed to be there right now. 

Right now, the dream is to get there in time to enter the Circa Million, and back in December for the opening of the Circa resort.  Hope is all I got right now.

I feel you. We were scheduled to leave in three weeks and that's not happening. I was planning on entering the Circa contest this year too.

Circa is literally the dream right now.  I think I might rather enter the Circa Survivor, if it happens.  I've won a couple of those over the years.  Circa Million/Supercontest seem impossible.

Yeah I was basically hoping to get super lucky and hit a quarterly prize but really I just like to gamble lol.

I am starting to worry about my annual trip for FFPC in September.

Let me know when you book for December.  I think I need another trip out there.

Feedback on the level of poopshow the Strip will be for Raiders home game Sundays?

No idea. We stay downtown

 

[eoMMan]

I got some free room offers for July and August at Golden Gate and The D.

I'm not going but those places are pretty run down, right?

Definitely not The D... Arguably the best place to stay downtown. It's a bit loud, but nice rooms and fun casino.

Not anymore.  Owned by Derek Stevens, who is the guy building Circa.  His influence has really increased the quality of both of those places.

4 players to a poker table?  Really?  Looks like I won't be going to Vegas any time soon.

Yup F that.  I’m a decent, winning poker player but I’m not good enough to win 4 handed.  Nice knowing you, poker!

Even before Covid, we were talking about moving the trip to New Orleans.  Now we are not sure what we all want to do.  Most are west coast with one in DC

Hopefully things return to normal in the next year or two.

Haven't read the details.  Wouldn't the next phase be eight players?

 

[Don't Noonan]

Haven't read the details.  Wouldn't the next phase be eight players?

hope so.  I just saw an article on Yahoo the other day saying that Vegas initial plans to reopen include 3 players max per blackjack table, 6 per craps table and 4 per poker table.

 

[Jobber]

I've got nothing to add to the thread other than the fact that I'm dying to get back to Vegas. The food, the booze, the atmosphere. Man, please open up soon.

 

[CR69]

Almost tempted to start researching buying a retirement home there. 

That's our plan due to the weather and no state income tax. If the Veer towers allowed Airbnb we'd already own a unit lol.

I have never done an online main event team. I may skip this year. Even a shortened season would reck the format.

we started doing online (vs live) about 4-5 years ago an love it....still do the trip to vegas and draft in someone's room instead

  pathetic.

They are all touching the same cards. What a desperation attempt to have poker rooms.

The stupid corrupt US govt needs to reinstate on line poker. I would have thought Adelson would be dead by now and we could get going again.

10 Las Vegas hotels set to host tourists sick with coronavirus

Derek Stevens bought airline tickets for 1000 people in the next 2 weeks.  Reservations all taken within like 2 hours.

And then did it again, three hours later. Gotta love the guy. I guess I better look to booking my free nights at El Cortez and Golden Gate. Although I'll probably wait a few weeks, just to see if there's a hotspot or anything.

Honestly don't think I'm ready to party in Vegas yet (and I'm on the more skeptical end of the covid thing), but if I'd heard about the offer in time I'd have definitely been tempted to try to get on board.

Not saying I'm entirely comfortable either, but if we get to the end of June and the 'rona hasn't blossomed like wildfire, I'll go. I want to enter the Circa Millions with my stimulus check.

Jealous, I'd love to do that contest too.  I'm assuming you're doing the pick 5 and not the survivor?  I'm super intrigued by the survivor.

Yeah, the pick 5. He doubled the total prize pool, which means he needs 3000 entries. There were 1800 last year, and now...the possibility exists of a fat overlay. And I'm telling myself that CV is leveling the playing field versus the pros.

Those look pretty sweet.

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

Even if I am not worried about COVID, I am not sure I want to go to Vegas with 3 max at table games and 4 max at Poker tables.

PAI GOW!

Pretty good interview with owner of The D and Golden Nugget and Circa.  There's probably more in there on sports betting than most are interested in, but I think he's a fascinating and good dude. Skip to 2:02 for the hour with Stevens. @kevzilla

1:32 of every "My Guys in the Desert" whenever he actually start broadcasting again.  Man it's not a comfortable read.  Maybe the least comfortable ever.

More casinos initially excluding resort fees for upcoming opening

 

[jvdesigns2002]

Interesting dynamic. Apparently some eateries in Vegas are charging a voluntary "Covid surcharge".   The "voluntary" part is kinda weird in that it's an awkward "voluntary".  They essentually add the surcharge on your tab and it is up to you to ask them to remove it if you don't want to "volunteer it". Lol.

Most of those changes are improvements for me. Can’t stand valets, and always decline housekeeping during hotel stays. Hope these become permanent adjustments to post-COVID life.

 

[jon_mx]

Casinos around San Diego reopened a few weeks ago.  I went to Barona casino anf it was pretty packed.  Over 80 percent of their slot machines were on and the table games were limited to three people.  Masks required at all times unless esting/drinking.  At the table games, they did touchless betting.  Only dealer allowed to touch cards or chips.  I actually liked only having three people at a blackjack table.

Can't prove it, but they're all owned by the same company.

Has anyone been to Vegas since the re-open? I tentatively booked for October but not sure I will go unless CV is somehow way down.
