What time will the tournament begin? I’m still trying to book my flight. Thanks.
Pool Play begins that friday
You think it starts in the afternoon? I guess I’ll book a morning flight.
Uh I kinda got blown up with people asking about the room so I’ll say give me a few days. Please don’t bank on being in my room, either. If things line up, it’ll be around $350 and I’m looking for people staying Thursday through Tuesday ideally. Flights leaving Monday are brutal for me.
General pool play starts in the morning…the schedules won’t be sorted until after registration ends.
anyone looking for a roommate? I’m going to arrive on Thursday and leave on Tuesday. I would prefer to stay in Caesar’s Palace since that is where the venue is. I can pay CASH upon arrival and I GUARANTEE that I will be there. I didn’t just cough up $220 for flight/registration for nothing. Please, help a brother out. Shoot me a PM
I got a room at Treasure Island for $80 a night. Pretty good price for a 4-star hotel and easily walkable to Caesar’s.
im willing to go to evo too but things are a bit harder for me since im just 17 … i need a roommate in order to stay in a hotel…
so if there is a chance you might stay with me please send a private message…
i wish evo could provide that kind of service…
Booked 4 nights in Augustus Tower Deluxe suite and was only charged around $200 to my card even though the total is supposed to be about $900 with taxes. This was using the link for Evo Group discount. So what is up with that? are my rooms booked for sure?
This is just the hotel’s “Placeholding” charge on your card, but yeah, ur room is booked. This charge is in place just so they can charge u for the first night if u cancel within 72 hr of your first Night, and this charge will count toward the final total as well, so don’t worry. Check your e-mail for confirmation, they should send one to you already.
Also, as a friendly reminder to everyone booking a flight into Las Vegas: Please book the flight so that you arrive on the ***5th (THURSDAY before tourny start)***. EVO Starts their first pool on FRIDAY (6th) at 8AM, DO NOT ASSUME your pool starts at 10 and try to arrive by 9am, FLYING never works like that. Trust me, its better to pay extra to arrive one night early than to discover your flight won’t land til 9am and your pool start at 8 (the pool do start that early, and they won’t release the start time until registration is closed). Beside, that way you are fully rested up and ready to go in case your game starts on Friday Morning.
P.S. PACK your stick in your CARRY ON bag, taht way you won’t lose it when you’re flying. Just put the stick in the security bin when you’re going through Security checkpoint and send it through X-ray machine, nothing will happen to it.
Sorry to ask but you said " If you got plane tickets, make sure you arrive by 2-3pm LV time", why is that. I booked my flight for Thursday evening, is that a bad idea? Should I change it to the morning flight?
I’m not sure if this has been confirmed, but are the rooms in caesar’s console ready? I definitely know that MGM rooms are console ready because I returned from there a few weeks ago. Anyway, would I be better off booking at caesar’s?
I booked my room at Ceasar’s last Sunday. I’ve been checking the link for EVO room booking everyday and today my room is now $55 more. FYI for people looking to stay at Ceasar’s to book pronto because its still 2 months away but the prices will probably rise again.
As for TV’s when I stayed at Palazzo a few times over the year’s its a real pain trying to get the HDMI cable connected since they wall mount and the clearance is really small. Luckily I have smaller hands but it took me 30 minutes and a lot of cursing to get my PS3 connected on my last trip. I suspect Ceasar’s will be a similar experience. Either way I’m bringing a monitor with me since I plan on having 1 or more setups for casuals.
I think you shouldbe fine, I’m arriving at around 7:30pm that night meaning I’m going to have enough to time to sleep
Rooms went up again. Augustus Tower rooms were $219 about an hour ago now they are $283 a night. Crazy high
Fuck…looks like I’m going to have to scout nearby hotels.
hell the classic rooms were 150 dollars just a week ago (I know because I made reservations) now they are 236. Always do your shit early!
EDIT: checked again now they are 216. Still a crazy jump.
Yeah…I should’ve anticipated that they would go this early.
Oh its just that since it will take u about an hour or 2 to actually go from airport to the hotel + check-in time (it took me an hour to check in last year at Rio, and I see Daigo waiting in line too.) so that way by the time u are done its around 4 to 5pm, that way u can drop ur stuff in the room and go eat right away. But as long as u get in the night before (thursday Night) you should be fine. Just don’t pull a MarlinPie and become JetLag Pie (for details, Marlin missed his flight to Shadowloo and forced to play right after he arrive to Australia, so don’t risk it and just arrive a day early)
There will be like one of the best UFG fights ever on Jul 07 on top of EVO, so I’d hurry about hotels since the price will skyrocket because of UFC.
