Tomorrow I'm heading to Vegas for 5 nights. 1 resort I've never stayed at before (Cromwell) and 1 will be a place I've been before (4 Queens). Plans are a bit TBD. This will be my first trip during the WSOP. I'll go see what it looks like, at a minimum. There are a few ~$200 poker tournaments at different properties. If I win enough at one of those, I'll try to parlay it at the $1500 O8 WSOP. Other potential plans--go to Ka, go back to the Wynn for the first time in like 15 years, go to several buffets. I have a LVA coupon book so will be using that, plus some MyVegas match play. Gambling will be a mix of VP, craps, poker, tiles and some BJ. I'll update this thread with periodic entries.
If anyone gives you 10,000 to 1 on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude.

If you like and care about sleep, DO NOT get the top floors at Cromwell. The Drais night club will be blasting music until early morning.

Is the Cromwell actually a resort? Great location though.

I wouldn’t call it a resort. It’s a boutique hotel with limited amenities.

plus some MyVegas match play.

Just double-check the fineprint, the myVegas ones I have seen usually require a certain # of PAID nights at that property.

Really? Used to be any nights, including comps and even MyVegas nights counted.

That’s a sucky change.

I’ll check, but I’ve been able to use ParkMGM match play without staying on property. $15 and $25. Did it in December but possible it has changed. Also got a 2 for 1 at the Mirage sandwich place.

Ooops, I double-checked myVegas and it looks like the MATCH PLAYS do not require a minimum stay.

BUT the FREE PLAYS do, at least as far as I can tell.

Tin man, I am very much looking forward to your trip reports. They are always a fun read, and enjoyable and obviously very real.
