2024 WSOP!

I suggest windex and an ophthalmologist exam unless I can figure out a way to start winning the critical flips at WSOP events. 😡

All the jokes aside, I was Jealous about your statement “… like to play both events when possible. Probably comes down to how many WSOP Senior and Super Sr bullets I fire ….”

But from bottom of my heart I wish someone from 2+2 community makes FT in Sr. Or Super Sr.

I can plan only 1 bullet in Mystery Million!!

Sr. Or Super Sr. is questionable even conflicting schedules or not .

This senior needs 2/3 days rest between 2 tournaments to get back my mental and physical strength 😮 !!

Anyway I salute you and many others who has that kind of strength to play many events and fire multiple bullets !!!!

And may be 2 bullets of Gladiators

What's the qualifier format? An ordinary mega?

Does anyone has a link for the Structure Sheets for the Landmark Satellites?

Step 1
We could have lots of fun.

Can we merge this and https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne... that one?

The WSOP silence regarding the online bracelet schedule is strange.

I'd guess WSOP is attempting to jump from their software to the GGPoker software, but Nevada law has complications that WSOP is hoping get sorted before June. Weird.

So I am already planning my trip out. I am aiming to be in Vegas a long time for this trip. I am going to be about a week and a half by myself and then another 6 days with family (no kids), but cousins, etc. The question I am having trouble is, where to stay this trip.

Right now my choices are
1. Aria - Good PLO games and not too far from WSOP events. I like the food options. Haven't had their new food court
2. Horseshoe - Kind of a **** hole, but close to WSOP events. A bit cheaper than Aria. Food options suck
3. Paris - Nicer than Horseshoe. Close to cash games (never stayed there before).

My main game at the moment is PLO 5/5 w Rock. But I am going to play a lot of small WSOP events leading up to the Main Event. (Might play some tournaments at the Wynn).

What would you do in my spot?

Will be moving to Bellagio when family comes.

Should be out after the super circuit series around the 22nd of April.

Stay at Horseshoe.
Walk over to Ellis Island for food.

Why do you think food options suck? You have Sbarros and fine dining, and everything in between in the vicinity. I can imagine what you thought of the Rio.

Haven't been on this forum in year's but attending my first ever wsop in June and wanted to confirm some things. I am staying at Horseshoe (decent price/close to action/convenience of being close to room between breaks, etc). Main question and I have read a lot of what everyone was talking about in the forum is regarding registration. If I do not wish to use credit cards for buying in. My plan is to use cash for buy ing in which obviously you can do one event a time this way. What I haven't been able to confirm is if I can still utilize all of the pre-reg/loading of bravo account but with cash? For example I arrive on the on the night of the 6th and was hoping to load my account with my est. $ buyins for the trip in cash and then use the app and kiosks? I know there is a 3 dollar fee for using the kiosks to print your tickets, but what I haven't been able to deduce is if you can avoid the 3% credit card fee for loading your account by using cash? Thanks for any tips or advice for a WSOP first timer.

My tips would be as follows

1. Pre-register the night before for small events. Things like the Mini Main Event and The small buy-in Mystery Bounty events, etc. will have 2 or 3 hour lines the morning of the event and you will get in super late.
2. If you can bring a sweater or dress in clothing that won't be an issue if the room is hotter or colder. Because some of the rooms have cold spots and hot spots. It's weird how it can vary.
3. Plan ahead for dinner breaks on big events. IF you are with a friends or if you have a significant other, it's good if they can get a table ahead of time. It can be a zoo.

If I recall, the Kiosk fee was $30 which is nuts. Not a huge issue for a $3K event, but it's a fortune on a $400 event.

Sbarros is kind of meh. What are your top 2 food picks at Horseshoe?

I haven't tried Jack Binion's Steakhouse. But The Burger place has a small menu and is mediocre.

Binion's is top flight not cheap $100-$200 but excellent steaks. Also try the French Restaurant at Paris Mon Ami Gabi more moderately priced but excellent food also French Onion soup is tremendous. If you want a burger go just outside to Wahlberger.

The kiosk fee is $3. At least it has been since kiosks became a thing.

I wasn’t really promoting any particular place. I was just saying there are tons of options in a relatively small area at all sorts of price points.

My favorite spots in the vicinity are Dave’s Hot Chicken in the Grand Bazaar and GR Steak in Paris.

Go to the payout room when you arrive and load up your TBIC account with cash. It’s free. Just remember you can load your account as many times as you want, but you can only withdraw once.

Then you can use these funds to buy into and re enter events and get your table assignments at kiosks. Be aware, that re-entry usually means having to wait in a line to get your seat assignment. So while it’s faster to use the kiosk than waiting in a line to pay, you still won’t necessarily get another seat real quick, especially for crazy day 1 events, like those under $1000.

Thank you that's what I was assuming and hoping was the case but wanted to make sure. Yeah my first WSOP event ever being the gladiator will be a zoo I am sure. I will be happy if I can make day 2 on 6 bullets or less lol.

Just walk out the front of Shoe and you have Giordanos and Wahlburgers, nashville chicken for quick places.

Are you wanting wait staff every meal?

My recollection from last year was that Gladiators was run pretty smoothly. It wasn’t till they lost a bunch of dealers the second half of the series and had a number of low buy in events stacked up on top of each other that things got super crazy. But of course, the usual advice to register as soon as you can and not wait till the day of still holds, especially for later flights.

Thank you! I'll be patiently waiting.......

Does anyone have a solution to get around the paid parking at the Horseshoe? (I stay off strip)

Last year you could get a Caesars Visa which would give you the tier status required for free parking but it seems this isn't an option this year.....I wish Caesar points didn't reset every year.

If you served in the military, they offer the Caesars Rewards Salute card that gives you Platinum status which gives you free parking and valet in Vegas.

Well I have been trying to find out how to wire transfer funds to the WSOP as I have done in years past. They are using BRAVO exclusively it seems ,

Hello XXX

Thanks for your interest in the 2024 WSOP. Everything is being filtered by Bravo Poker Live now. If you have not done so already you will have to open an account with Bravopokerlive.com with your total rewards number. Bravo Poker Live website will allow you register events online. You will be able to fund the account with wire transfer and credit cards. Online registration will be open on Bravo Poker Live mid to the end of April. Bravo Poker Live will be taking wires thru the app called PayFiniti

After looking into Payfiniti (they don't even have a MOBILE APP out yet ) and realizing I would have to provide to PAYFINITI my Bank account information and allow them Assess to my Account I balked and tried again with WSOP support. I HATE to provide any unknown app that kind of information and access considering the level of security breaches we have seen from established brokerage firms for example.

The only other option directly with Paris / WSOP appears to be a Cashiers Check.

Hello xxx  
      We are sorry for any inconvenience this my cause. Paris Las Vegas Operating Company, LLC will no longer accept wire transfers. However, you can do a cashier's check in advance. When doing a cashier's check before your arrival in Las Vegas, email a copy of the check to our credit department for verification. The credit department email is [email]CZRCredit@Caesars.com[/email] and it must include your first and last name, Caesars Reward Number, and state that it is going to be used at the Paris Las Vegas for WSOP. If you use a cashier's check and send it to our credit department ahead it would save a few days before you come. You will still need to bring the original check with you to the Paris cashier cage in the Convention Center.

Thanks again

How does GR Steak compare to a typical U.S. steak place? Is it cooked differently?

Dang I somehow did not know this at all! Thank you for pointing this out. I have a basic level card at my local Caesars property so I have been missing out on platinum. Definitely going to get that upgraded. Also shout out to any of the other vet's on here! Since I don't play that much I never really looked into benefits of platinum. As far as as WSOP what is main benefits?
