Vegas trip in November?

[kenadams]

Some friends and I are planning to go to Vegas at the end of november. Why then? Basically because our flight/hotel package is cheap as hell at that time (it would be insulting NOT to go!)...

Now I was wondering... seeing as the whole deal is so cheap, is Las Vegas basically dead around that period?

We need some sun, we need a pool, we need a lot of fish and drunken tourists at the poker tables, we need women in the clubs, etc... Basically everything you'd expect during a Vegas trip. Are we likely to encounter any/all of that in november or will the city be half-empty with 1 poker table going in each room filled with regulars?

First trip I assume? You will find plenty of actions 365 days a year.

Bring your skates, you might be able to use them that time of year.

Nope, even the regulars will be visiting home for the holidays.

In Vegas, "dead" is a relative term. It'll be plenty busy for your purposes any time of year. You may find the sun/pool weather in late November leaves something to be deisred, however. If the pool if very important to you, double check that your hotel's pool will be open; many close for a part of the off season (though I think that's generally in the winter, not late fall.)

Enjoy!

I go every year the first week of December because I drive to Arizona and stop off for a day or two. Here's my definition of "dead": Midnight at Paris, playing 5-handed at the only 1/2 NL table open. Caesars at 11 am, zero limit tables open. Bellagio at the same time, one 15/30 and no other limit tables open.

Obviously you will be able to find a game somewhere, but relative to the average, that's dead.

If you can handle "shrinkage," bring your swimsuit. I'm sure the penguins will share the pool.

I am heading out just after Thanksgiving, so if you are there then, I will get drunk and you can take my money...

[kenadams]

well the pool is the least of my worries (although the penguins sound cool!), but there better be some good poker games going on ($1/$2 NL for starters)
