Indeed, back to back days. So sick, so happy I got that outta the way and get to play in my first live $10k tourny for free basically.

You won't think it's free when you pay outrageous prices for food :P

The 15k package breakdown is something like:
10.3k entry 2.8k hotel 1k food credit (you don't have to use it...but if you only eat at the resort, it won't last a week) 1k for flight. As for examples of prices on the resort - - $5.5 USD for a plain bagel (nothing in it) - A slice of pizza was ~12 bucks - Dinner is typically ~$50+/plate for any place on the resort that's not fast food There is a small restaurant on the resort that won't let you use your food credit called Anthony's Grill. The food is decent there for about ~25 bucks a plate. Also a Quizno's. I highly recommend not drinking tap water from restaurants. Even the jugs of bottle water provided in the pokerroom tastes odd. I would only drink bottle water or other beverages. It's a lot cheaper if you took a taxi or ferry to downtown and buy food (or have someone go for you if you are playing). The resort is nice if you're into water activities. I think most ppl just end up drinking and going down the lazy river when they bust. |

I love Atlantis, but I'm a beach type of guy. When I'm not playing, I'd be in the pool or at the beach, or checking out the aquarium for the 10th time.
Yeah, the food was pricey, but big deal. You've got $2k cash to spend. Flight will probably cost you $2-500, depending where you are coming from, leaving you plenty for food. I flew myself and two others there for like $600 total. And the $1400 left was more than enough to cover all of our food plus give them each a little shopping spree at the resort to buy overpriced Atlantis stuff with what was left of our food credit. Sure, you won't be able to eat at the super expensive buffet every single meal, but who would want to anyway? I mean, you wouldn't be eating like that at home. Just eat reasonably and you'll be fine. And if you end up spending a couple hundred out of pocket when all is said and done somehow, big freaking deal. $200 out of pocket for a > $15k package? Yeah, not a bad deal. Go nuts. |

$15,130.
10.3k buy in, and they take care of hotel for you, and 1k in spending $, I think that's what it is. Man I am so happy I won this just b/c if I didn't I would have been sooo pissed, I was chip leader with like 15 left in 2 PCA tournys, and I misclick called 200k chips, 3/4 my stack, with K4o when I was chipleader in one and ended up busting, if I didn't win this one I'd be thinking about that way too much lol

I haven't played that many satellites, not sure if I want to go to this due to the insane prices there, and it's kind of boring there....but being the degenerate I am...I'll probably find a way to get in.
