Default Is 6 hrs/day more than it sounds like in B and M?

I'm going to Vegas in February and I got this thing from the Wynn that says they give poker rates for hotel rooms--a really good deal price-wise. However, to do this, I need to play 6 hours a day. Is this as easy as it sounds (6 hours a day for 4 days)? I've only played live a little, so I'm not really sure. I can play online for 8-10 hours/day if I want, but I have movies in the background and such. Ok thanks.

if you are going soley to play poker then 6 hrs a day is easy. but if you are going with gf/wife or boys to party than 6 hrs a day could be tough. unless you are saving some rediculous amount of money i say just go stay somewhere that you can afford without having a 6 hrs a day committment.

Curious what was the rate?

Anyhow, they have the hottest help in Vegas, if that helps.

It's a great deal, and the time flies by.

FWIW, if you share the room with someone else, or three people, or whatever, then the ROOM just has to average 6 hours a day.

Case in point: Two of my friends and I spent four nights at the Wynn under their poker room rate. We had to average six hours per day, or 24 hours total, for the rate while we were there. Well, we each played eight hours on the first day, fulfilled our obligation, got a sweet rate, and had three days to go and do what we wanted.

It's a fantastic deal. And really, the time just flies by.

The rate was $129 per night Sun-Thur and $199 Fri-Sat.

And yeah, the help is the hottest in town.

If you can pull 8-10 online with distractions, you can pull 6 at the Wynn with some music and breaks. The chairs are very comfortable, you can eat table side, and there is no problem with getting up and taking a walk.

They don't keep that close track. When I stayed there, I don't think they ever checked and I don't think we played enough either.

well, i'm going w/ 2 buddies of mine--but they're gonna try to find 5 dollar a hand blackjack tables somewhere. i agree that it seems like a great deal--and if i'm running badly, i can always buy in short at a 5/10 table er something n screw around. anyway, you confirmed my instincts that this could be awesome, so maybe i'll give it a shot.

well i can afford it no problem. in fact, i made tonight what worst-case-scenario the entire trip will cost. part of my worry is that i'll get bored/wanna hang out w/ my friends, so that's a good pt.

and go blue, holla.
