I will be in Vegas between 5/20 an 5/24. I've been trying to get into the WSOP via online qualifiers and if I don't make it there (I've come very close five different times), I'll try to get in via a super or two at Binion's. davidross is also going to be in town at the same time and I will be hooking up with him during the trip as he has the same goals re WSOP.

We're trying to find a good time to get together with any 2+2ers who will be in town (or live there) that weekend before the Big One. Thur and Fri we plan on playing satellites unless we get in online, so maybe after a late Friday satellite. Of course, chances are we don't make the WSOP so we'll probably have time on Saturday and Sunday for a get together.

We're also going to be hitting the Mirage and/or Bellagio for poker and was wondering from the locals just how crazy the wait lists are this time of year with every poker player in the world in town? Can you phone ahead to get your name on the list?

Also, is there a list online anywhere of the regular weekly lower buyin tourneys that go on in town, or maybe someone could give a link to a post or list themselves the major ones in the $50-500 buyin range.

Thanks, and hope to meet some of you next week.
