Hotel to Stay at for Poker Stars Caribean Adventure

The Funky Llama · #1 11-25-2006, 10:25 PM

Ok so me and two friends just decided to go to Bahamas during this time. We're not gonna play in the tourney so we're just going for the coolness of the Bahamas...beaches/bars/etc. and maybe to meet some 2+2ers. Where should we stay? We dont really want to pay for the Atlantis. I've heard comfort suites is good? We should be on paradise island, right?

Any help would be great.

comfort suites has access to atlantis which is good and def the best option if theres no rooms in the main towers.

Of course, the best way to do it is to win a PCA satellite, and get the whole thing for free. [1]

And we've just laid on a bunch more satellites to give you even more opportunities to win.

But if none of that works out, there are a bunch of properties on Paradise Island, any of which are an easy and pleasant walk to the Atlantis. You'll be more than welcome to participate in our cash games, S&Gs, battleship tournament, and MTTs that we have going there. And it is indeed a blast to hang out with the whole PokerStars community, attach faces to names, and basically party with us. Oh - and there will be one satellite to the main event, so you can always get in that way.

For hotels, check out this Expedia link. I think most people prefer the Comfort Suites because of its proximity to the Atlantis. It's also got good Wifi.

[1] Remember, the package includes lodging for two. What arrangements you make with your buddy are your business, not mine [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Lee, very cool of you to respond + extremely helpful information

Yeah, it rules pretty hard that Lee Jones' posts are among the best in the internet and MTT forums, and 'FTPDoug"'s are among the worst.

(as far as site reps go, FTPDoug obviously isn't the worst poster in the internet forum)

Heh. Maybe I'll save it for next year. Cheers.

Lee, thanks for helping out a fellow Blue Devil.

Ahhh so with the package you don't haaaave to stay at the Atlantis... that's nice. I'd rather pocket some of that cash and stay at a cheaper place. Then again, I still have not qualified, so not an issue... but that's what I WOULD do. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm afraid there was a misunderstanding. If you win one of our statellites, you "have" to stay at the Atlantis. [1] I was pointing out the other options for people who don't win packages.
