But if it is marked on the agreement and it costs less, then as this site is all about moneysaving isnt that the best way forward?

Depends on how much they would beat it by. Its its sizeable ,then of course you use the third party, if its a pittance then I'd use the main company direct every time.

Also, Poker. I take it there are places that do buy in tournaments not just cash poker stuff? Where can we find these? I'd quite like a 6 hour marathon someday but would like a decent sized field at a reasonable buy-in. Any ideas? Some of the guys want to do cash poker too.

Is it mainly texas holdem or is there some stud?

cheers again

Ones Ive played.......

Caesars is fab poker room, $70 entry, max 50 people, four times a day, 3pm fills up early, take passport of Players Club for ID.

TI is a dump of a poker room, three times a day $65 entry, get 20-30 people at the 2pm.

Mirage has SNG till all hours, $70 from memory.

Luxor has cheap entry, maybe $40, were refurbing the Poker room, had quite a few entrys.

PH also cheap entry, relatively small like TI.

Venetian and Wynn I didnt play as high entry, but both rooms looked lovey.

allvegaspoker has all the times etc. Some you need to get there early to register.

I agree - but found that Carhire3000 beat booking direct by well over £100 for our rental picking up at LAX and dropping off at LAS (savings based on Carhire3000 vs. Thrifty's website direct)...I always, always book with dollar.com as I don't need the insurance waivers, but in this case it didn't make sense...booking direct with Dollar US would have cost me about £140 more without any insurance waivers than booking with Carhire3000

I'm very scared to use a 3rd party I have to say, but it was enough of a savings to justify trying it...enough here have used them without issues that I'm having 3rd party faith...worst part for me is our (internal) flight is due to land at LAX at 1:30pm...so exactly 30 minutes before CH3000's telephone lines close...worries me in case I need to yell at them.

ferf, trets, sew, many thanks for your replies! :T

trets - The unofficial guide to Vegas? Is that a book or online site?

Whats this chicken raunch?!

you can find the link for anything related to poker in Vegas on the guide . it includes a list of all tourneys with buy ins and times.

The Unoffical guide to Vegas is a guide book. Amazon sell it

Brothels are illegal in Clark County ( i.e the strip and surrounding area) but legal in Nye county . Pahrump is your best bet i would say after driving through it on the way to Vegas from Death Valley
