Leaving in a couple days, staying at the Sahara. Any last minute advice?
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites.

If you have a car, go to Binion's. They just reopened. Just to say you played there.
Bring cash. Lots of it.
Go to a show. So that you can say you left with a better memory than a bad beat. (I'd say go to one of the showgirl shows... lemme' know if you go to one... I'm definitely game for that.)
Email me if you have any questions... i live here.

follow sals advice.......Vegas isnt all about gambling.....see everything your first time, gamble your second visit.
Dont sleep, you can do that when you get home!!

Sahara runs a $40 buy-in NL tournament at 7 PM a few days a week. Play in that; however (as Sal and I found out), make sure you sign up at 4 when they start taking names.
Yes, see a show; I recommend Blue Man Group.
Go to Binion's and give us a scouting report on the satellites, if you don't actually play in one.

Thanks all for the advice. This will be my 2nd visit, but the first in 5 years, when I played Black Jack all the time. It'll be my first "poker" trip to Vegas. I've been playin a while (about 3 years regularly), have done the home games both big and small. Been to smaller local and crappy B&Ms, and played a ton online, of course. But never a Hold em run in Vegas. Should be a fun learning experience!
See you at the Wed nite NL tourney at the Sahara.
I'll report when I return....

My advice is put all your money on Red. If you lose go home.
I dont actually have any real advise since ive never been to Vegas, but i do plan on going this summer.

I played at the Saharra, Stardust, mandolay bay and of course Binions. .
.You have to go to Binions. . .If you dont have a car just take the bus
downtown it's like 15 minutes from the Saharra. I won 400$ at Saharra in
2 days so I liked playing there. But Stardust is my favorite simply
because alot of locals played there. In the week that I played at the
Stardust I got to know some people pretty well.
