Default Should I stay at Ceasers, MGM, or Wynn at these rates

I'm planning on coming in Mon-Thursdays nights and got the following quotes, which would you pick?

Ceasers $400 total with 8hrs/day of play in poker room
MGM $400 total w 4hrs/day in room (no diff for more hours)
Wynn No one answered in their poker room, but base rate would be $1100 for the 4 days, but yikes what a beautiful place.

I plan on playing at a few locations, esp bellagio etc so I like that MGM gives me more flexibility, but what do you think of overall choices plus any possible extras I could get? Thanks all in advance

Call the Wynn again during business hours.

Stay there. It's be about the same as the others and is nicer. And has better game selection.

Yeah. That's what I heard about the Bellagio too.

After you first time there they don't care any more and you don't need to clock-in or anything.
Thinking of getting the room-rate for a couple days there just so I can have it whenever I want.


Wynn should have a better rate than $1100. They DO have a poker-rate.


Part of this question depends not JUST on what kind of room you want but also what kind of games you are willing to play.
If you take Caesar's or MGM you might be playing quite a bit of 3/6 limit or 1/2 NL just to get in the hours (because they might not be spreading anything else...especially in day-time).
Note - I'm only guessing on this as it's been awhile for me in those rooms. But does MGM even consistently spread a 6/12 game in the day-time (much less a 10/20)??


For that kind of rate I wouldn't mind donking it up at 3/6 for a few hours on my LV trip.
But others might not be interested in playing that low.

I'm half-tempted to try to get a cheap rate at Mandalay or Luxor and spend some hours in the 2/4 or 4/8 limit games there.


At Wynn you'll be able to play 8/16 or 15/30 of course.

the 4/8 half kill at mgm is worth 4 hrs a day of your time and the hotel is nice and within easy walking distance of Bellagio as well as having the monorail stop which can take you down to wynnn...
the 700 dollar difference is a lot of bets if wynn won't come down from that rate

The Wynn is $129/night ($516 for your trip) on the weekdays with a 6 hour average per day play requirement. The average is nice because you can put in a long session then take the next day and play elsewhere, if you wanted to.

Depending on limits, of course. If you're playing 15/30 >, go for the Wynn. The room is worth the extra $116 for the span of your trip. REMOTE CONTROLLED CURTAINS!!!

I think the Wynn's rate was based on 6 hours a day. It was $129 on weekdays and $189 on weekends. If you are sharing the room the hours can be split.

What games are you planning on playing. If you looking for limit above 4-8 or 6-12 the Wynn is you best bet. I think all the rooms have baby no limit.


Does anyone know if tournaments count towords the daily limit?

Default Finally Got Wynn\'s rate

Yea I called during their daytime hours and got the 129/day rate, which I dont think anyone can beat for a hotel that beautiful. I'm planning on taking $1500 for my stay on the trip, so I figure 1-3NL for a while, try to build up $500 more to sit in the 10-20 HORSE+2-7 game, if I go on a crazy run then I think I'll go to the NL2-5(200) at the Bellagio, I played in the 10/20NL there once, enough to get my heart pounding haha. Thanks for the advice guys, hopefully Katie or Denicia will call me back soon from Wynn...
