    If anyone is (for poker!), I recommend the freeroll in the Plaza (downtown). You have to play there for 25 hours to qualify so it's not for everyone, but the last two of them 21 people qualified last time and 17 this time and the prize pool ($7000) was just split each time. That's an easy return. They also do STTs all day woots. I didn't do it because I didn't want to spend 25 hrs playing poker, but the tables seemed soft enough when I did play (though places on the strip were definitely easier).

    The 4 Queens had a $65 tournament where only $46.56 goes to the prizepool which I thought was funny after playing on the internet for so long :P

    Its not just the 4 Queens that rape the tournament prize pools, as far as I could see, all the casinos take a huge reg in house fees(min 20%) from all tournament entries.

    Oh, a handy little tip too. If you are booking hotels etc, many of the websites you'd like to use (travelocity / expedia etc) don't take Irish credit cards. If you phone your credit card company, ask them to change the billing address to an address in the UK (of a friend or something), then make your booking using the uk billing address, then phone the credit card company and get them to change it back to your Irish one. Woot.

    if you find a deal on travelocity, which are usually doing good ones, then call the UK office and let tham know what you found, they will do the same deal and you can use an Irish Card then

    its the yanks that wont take it for some bizarre reason

    have a look at shermans, orbitz or kayak, i found one this morning on orbitz going through london direct to vegas for $1,107 including taxes

    i had to call them in the UK to book it as mine is a very complicated trip with 2 different departure dates and 3 return dates for 6 of us

    get this for non customer care

    i am not allowed to book into a hotel in Vegas for longer than 30 days, but i can book for 28, they will handle an internal checkout and reinstate me for another 12 days in the same room / suite, now hows that for stupidity ??
