Will be booking my flight and hotel in the next couple of weeks. Glad I waited on the hotels, because I can get a cheaper rate for my non-comped dates right now. Hopefully I get similar or better rates next week when I book it.
I'm booking a flight & room next week, should be getting to Vegas on the 12th & staying for 2weeks. If you have room, or maybe room as an alternate, I'd like to give it a shot please.
I've played poker all my life, starting when I was 5yrs. old. I took ~20yrs. off from playing but the FTP ads. on tv finally got to me & I began to play again in 2007.
I still suck after all these years but I'm working on having some fun with it.
I'll be there for Flight A on the 26th. Will need a XXL hoodie (the one I have doesn't have CC on the back of it).

PS - I'm really hoping to meeting Joe Showdown! 🙂 ("Hi Joe! ... do you remember that 4kingpoker game when we got down to HeadsUp ~10yrs. ago? I do." lol )

Looks as though there was a slight change to my flight. We will be landing Tuesday night the 25th at about 11PM. I am going to plan to play in the second day one so as to not be rushing and trying to play without the proper amount of rest.
Looks like I'll be arriving late Monday, June 24 and leaving late Friday, June 28, unless I run deep into the Colossus. If I cash real good the Colossus like in the 5 figures (doubtful but hopeful), then I'll probably stay til July 2 and play in the mini-main, but that's not likely.
I was planning on staying at the Rio, but I found out I can get all 4 nights that I plan on staying there comp'ed at The LINQ. So that's probably where I'll be staying.
Also checking out The Goliath Phamous Poker Series at Planet Hollywood. They have some attractive tourneys on Tue, June 25 and Thu, June 27 that I may enter into.

Better value this year in the colossus:

Nope. It was the time I asked you if we could skip the break as I was in a hurry to see someone off at the Greyhound station. You told me I should get my priorities straightened out, then took the break & proceeded to time down on every single hand. Final hand, you 4bai w ATo.... and I timed down, hit extra timer & then called) with AA which held ftw 😉
Just discovered I won't be able to join you guys as I'll need to be back home now on the 25th to go pick up my grandkids in the RV (we're headed to the Yukon.... one way to beat the heat!).
Good luck to all of you at WSOP!
Maybe I'll still get to see Joe before I head home... maybe in the washroom at the RIO??? lol (Watch out pencilneck!) :damnmate:

I booked my trip! YAY!!!! I'll be playing flight A. See you all there!!! GL everyone. (Amanda A/@amandaanne)
Is there usually a meet and greet dinner or lunch for the Cardschat team before the start of the Colossus? I am arriving mid afternoon on Tuesday the 25th. I would love to meet many of you who are but nicknames (and adversaries) on the poker tables for our freerolls...Look forward to meeting all of the Cardschat team.

You will pay for your entry and then show your registration to me to get the $150. Once you have met the remaining requirements you are eligible for the last longer prize. If you win you will find me to collect the money - or I can send it to you once I get home.
Everyone should ensure that they have exchanged phone numbers with me before arriving for the event - otherwise trying to find me could be a chore. 🙂
We can't all meet up before the event because everyone is entering at various times.
Even though there are so many people at the Rio - wearing the CC hoodies we all manage to find one another at some point.
Also - I will post my room, table and seat number once I have registered which will be at least the night before in the thread and in Twitter.
Yeah, some type of a meet up would be awesome. Perhaps on a day when most CCers will be there, like Wednesday. A meet up at the Rio around dinner, for those who make it that far in Day One.
Just throwing it out there. I won't be playing Day One as of right now, but, I'll be at the Rio that night to register for Day Two.

What we all need to do is go to planet hollywood and grind out cash games for 3 hours ( I think, it might be 4) and all go to the spice market buffet for free afterwards. I still have 3 vouchers for the paris buffet from my last trip (those are earned at Ballys) 😛natsgrampy said:
