I was watching and talking to some people playing this in Nov. Looks harder than it is and the dealer they had was very helpful if they were pairing up their hands wrong. Might be brave and try it myself next trip

Its actually a very easy game (as long as you understand poker scoring) and quite a nice relaxing game, last time I played I was with my mate who is high roller he was playing $1k per hand and I was allowed on the same table at $25 per hand

The Fremont street experience

Anyone know why they spit the 2008 world series of poker into 2?

They get down to the final 9- then they had a 117 day break and played the final table in Nov.

Also if you do know why- are they planning on doing it this year?

It's not Vegas...but 2 nights for $20 (yes, so $10/night) seems crazy...Laughlin isn't somewhere I would necessarily want to stay 2 nights...but still.

Better TV and media coverage of the final table.

Thanks for this, the Luxor offer saves me $50 but I now have to cancel my existing booking. Does anyone know the best way to do this, they say to ring them, is it a freephone number from the UK and is it quite straightforward.

Use Martin's site to find the number for cheap calls to the US.

http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/

The number for the Luxor is 001 702 262 4000 and remember the 8 hour time difference.

Or if you got an email confirmation there may be an email address you could use, but I prefer to phone.
