Re: Partys WSOP Package
nice going. congrats.
party will get back to you somewhere before 2008 with the details I'm sure. some people have talked about it here. I don't remember which hotel...maybe the MGM?? I think you get $1500 cash for travel. The details might be somewhere on their site. I'm sure someone here will be able to provide better details. There was a big thread last week about the exaggeratedness of the hotel-fee. (they are taking $2k of the package to pay for your hotel...but you aren't really getting $2k worth of hotel was the basic argument). |

Re: Partys WSOP Package
Maybe they're hooking you up with a nice room at the MGM.
I don't know if rooms are going for a premium around the ME, but I was looking to go to Vegas around June 10th-ish and MGM was $200 a night. Figure they're putting you up 7 or 8 nights at least and 2k sounds about right. |

Re: Partys WSOP Package
well then maybe it's not MGM (I know diddly-squat about Vegas for the most part) and is some other place. Because in the thread last week the dude was insisting that the hotel-value was definitely NOT $2k worth.
To answer your other question...those in the B&M forum who are from Vegas say that a few thousand people showing up for the WSOP is nothing by Vegas standards and that they have MUCH bigger conventions there all the time. Since it's such a small blip they don't really expect hotels to be booked or hotel-rates to be affected too badly. |

Re: Partys WSOP Package
Also, July is a slower time of year for Vegas (as compared to the April/May time when the WSOP was held in the past). So, off-season + no other major conventions = minor blip on the radar for Vegas.

details
It is 9 nights (originally was 10) at the MGM, commencing on July 6, and $1,700 deposited into your PP account (originally was $1,500, bumped up by $200 in lieu of the 10th night of hotel).
After 5 nights, you have the option to check out and receive $800 in lieu of the last 4 nights of hotel. This offer is good only after 5 nights--according to their email, if you check out on any other day, you do not get a refund. I received the email with the details a few weeks after I won my seat (Step 6). I would guess you'll receive yours sooner than that. I was told that they are going to buy everyone into the tournament in June. I *assume* at that time you'll receive your seating assignment and find out what day you are starting on. I do not believe the MGM is worth $200/night (which is what Party deducted from the prizepool I won). On the MGM website, you can book a room for $149/night for the same nights. Congratulations. |
