Wynning - Life in the big time (WSOP 2013)


Alas, Caesars Entertainment have officially announced the dates for the World Series of Poker beginning on May 29th 2013 and set to run through to approximately 17th July. These announcements always get me in the mood to book my Vegas action and this time was no exception.

I've been carefully trawling the internet looking for any advanced deals and was actually pondering missing the WSOP this year to save money. Then I found a remarkable deal with Expedia, 10 nights + return flights with British Airways, staying at the Wynn in mid-June for an amazing £1280 per person!

I've seen a package deal this cheap for a location such as the Wynn. I reviewed the prices booking direct via the Wynn and it was something close to $4000 just for a standard room, so this Expedia deal really is something and it will be a new Vegas experience for me staying in such luxury (as opposed to Flamingo/Bally's) and being out there with my girlfriend.

It goes without saying that I'll be playing Poker, but probably considerably less than usual. This is perhaps a good thing as 2012 was a terrible year of playing and the first losing year I've had since I began playing.

I'm hoping with some renewed vigor and a fresh perspective on the Vegas vacation that this will turn out to be a trip to remember.

Roll on WSOP 2013!
