It's gonna cost me about £600 ($1100) to get to Vegas. So I was thinking about some options closer to home.

The prices go down a lot (about $650) as soon as you get out of peak season (mid sept). But my new job starts in September.

So basically I have 6 weeks until I start work and I want to go and play poker somewhere interesting. But I don't want to spend a fortune getting there.

I have my online poker bankroll of about $4k, plus another $9k that I could use if I felt I was not seriously outclassed at the table.

I am getting about $20k of signon bonus spread over the next 2years of my new job so I am not too worried if the holiday doesn't pay for itself. But having said that I would be upset if I couldn't at least break even at the table.

So I was wondering what the stakes and games are like in Monte Carlo as I can get there very cheaply (probably under $130).

Thanks for any info.
