1. When are you coming to town? October 20th - 22nd
2. Why are you coming to town? To celebrate my friend's 34th birthday with some grad school buddies.
3. Where are you staying? The Luxor.
4. When is a good time to meet up? What activities did you have in mind? Not really sure about a good time. Going to see "O" on Saturday night. Will likely be clubbing on Friday night. Definitely playing some blackjack during the day on Saturday and Sunday.
Hmm ... looks like lots of us will be in town that weekend!

It looks like I'll be through LAS on 12 Oct on my drive from SAN to DEN. Don't have hotel or show plans yet. I'm leaning towards MGM and La Reve. I'm flying Mrs. Redbeard out to meet me and drive the rest of the way on 13 Oct.

Have been surfing the NET for the good oil on games and will playing at Luxor as I certainly am no good thing and it seems like a game I will be comfortable in. Was thinking of checking in to the poker room early evening Monday.
Could arrive earlier depending how thw drive goes but trying to cram a lot into the time before we arrive in Vegas. Was there 2 years ago but did not play poker then. Craps took all my play money. Leave for US 2 weeks from tomorrow

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you are an NL player DO NOT play poker at Luxor or Excalibur!!!
Both those games are stupid, totally ridiculous games, excalibur is a 1-3 with a 200 max sit down, and the luxor one is even stranger, 1-1-2 with $50 max sit down, and you can pull up another 50 the second you go even $1 below the original 50, so basically you sit down super short stacked! -and they had about 3 prop players there when i played!
If you want a soft, easy low limit 1-2 game, you could do worse then the MGM card room (though again ask if there are any dealers in the game, and NEVER play there after 3am) or just accross the street at Hooters.

Thought poker room at MGM might be too heavy for me from what I had read. Stayed at MGM 2 years ago and found it very good accomodation wise
