Hey Guys,
I cannot believe that I will be in Vegas in less that 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to catching up with everyone again. As I will be there for 8 weeks I am going to get into the Vegas spirit. The Vegas spirit to me (aside from all the cocktails) would be to see some shows.
MGM Grand has Fleetwood Mac, David Copperfield, KA Cirque du Soleil, Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood.
Mandalay Bay has The Lion King, UFC, Il Divo, Keith Urban and Pat Benatar.
Caesars Palace has Elton John and Bette Middler
Bellagio has “O” Cirque du Soleil
Venetian has Phantom, Wayne Brady
Mirage has Jay Leno, Love Cirque du Soleil, Ray Romano & Brad Garrett
Palms has Cheech & Chong, The Offspring, Duran Duran, New Kids on the Block
There quite a few options and I am sure there will be a few more hidden gems that I haven’t discovered. On one of my last trips to Vegas I got taken to see Air Supply (I would have had to be taken!), Hootie and the Blowfish (they were great) and Brooks & Dunn (not a country girl, but had an awesome time and was pleasantly surprised). Make the time to see a show, it is a great Vegas experience.
Another Vegas experience that you have to do is go to a Vegas club, words do not describe it. My birthday falls during the WSOP and I am thinking I will start off having beverages at Fix at Bellagio, they do the best passionfruit mojitos and then move to Pure and get a cabana outside
I love having choices and this is definitely the town to offer plenty.
See you there and the countdown has begun.
Cheers,
Miss C

Hey All,
I need to let you all know there has been a slight change of plans since last weeks blog…the big news being that we will be having a “Phil Hellmuth” suite at Bellagio. This will be the one stop place where you pick up your swag, sign up for UltimateBet’s 10th Anniversary $10,000,000 promotion and go into the draw to win an Aruba Poker Classic Package. All you need to do is come to the front desk at Bellagio, find the house phone and ask to be put through to “Phil Hellmuth” and we will come down and get you.
The WSOP for UltimateBet in 2009 and will be all about you. We have secured great rates at the MGM Grand, to get these all you need to do is call is +702 891 1111 and say “UB“. You will get 15% off West Wing/Deluxe Standard/ Bungalow Suite/ Celebrity Spa Suite/ Hollywood Suite/ Glamour Suite. If you want something a little more comfortable the same will apply for the Signature by MGM for a Junior Suite or a 1 Bedroom Suite. We will have a shuttle service running from the MGM to the Bellagio and then from Bellagio to the Rio and then return. You wont be able to miss it, it will have Phil’s face on it.
As it is out 10th Anniversary and also 20 years since Phil won his first WSOP bracelet, we will be celebrating in style and we would love for you to join us. Keep the 29th of June free, we will be partying at Studio 54. You will be able get your invites from the Phil Hellmuth suite at Bellagio when you come and see us. Just before you enter the party you can sign up to go into a draw to win an Aruba Poker Classic package and entry into Phil’s VIP party in Aruba, this package will be given away at the party by Phil himself.
There is only 3 weeks till I get to Vegas and I can’t wait. I look forward to meeting you.
Good Luck and see you in Sin City.
Cheers,
Miss C

Hey All,
The craziness continues! Ever since I went to PokerNews Alpine Cup in Austria I haven’t stopped. Now I am coming to you live from Aruba!
There are some really good things planned for the APC 2009. As I have said previously, there will be 3 parties, lots of pros and some pretty good POKER! The schedule will be pretty similar to last year, which was so player friendly. If you wanted to play throughout the night it wasn’t at a scheduled tournament here at the Aruba Poker Classic. This year we have added in a 6 handed 2k No Limit Holdem and that is scheduled for Friday the 9th of October.
My next stop on the calendar was meant to be home – Australia and I wanted to head home the 1st week of May and since that is next week I can’t realistically see it happening! Seriously, where is this year going? It is hard to believe that I will be in Vegas within 3 weeks. On the Upside, our home in Vegas will be the MGM Grand. Come by, pick up your swag, register for the numerous promotions and have a drink. Go to the front desk and ask for the “Phil Hellmuth” Skyloft suite.
We will be having weekly happy hours in the “Phil Hellmuth” Skyloft, more details to follow shortly. Also the MGM have given us a great discount to off our players and we will send out that information in an email. To help you get back and forth from the Rio we will have a shuttle service. 2009 is going to be a great year at the WSOP for us and you.
See you there!
Cheers,
Miss C

Hello Everyone,
I am coming to you live from Las Vegas. I arrived last night and this city still takes my breath away, I swear to God my heart stopped beating for just a second when I saw that skyline. I was lucky enough to land at night time and I do think it is the best time to see the city…all those lights. I cannot believe I have not been here in 3 years. Guessing I will make up for that during the WSOP. I love this city!
This time round I have done something totally out of the ordinary and I am staying at the Signature Suites at the MGM Grand and I have to say they are a bit special. Every room is a suite and included is room internet (very important as the daily rate at most big hotels is hideous), gym (if you are here for a long time, you need to clear your head) and kitchen (nothing like a home cooked meal). If you are here for longer than a week, definitely look at staying here.
UB is having drinks and nibbles for their WPT satellite winners at Fix in the Bellagio. It is a great chance for you to mingle with our Pros. Quite a few of them will be there in full force. It will be a great time to ask some questions or even just have a chat. From experience I can tell you they are very social and I guarantee they will make you laugh.
Today is going to be a great day…I am planning on catching up on all the emails I missed over Easter and I also get to catch up with Scotty Nguyen, I haven’t had a drink with him or heard that familiar Scotty trademark “Baby” in a year and a bit. I can’t wait to get to Bellagio and see the other notable faces. Such an awesome city, makes life so convenient:) Then there is the drinks with the qualifiers and pros, all in all a great day!
Fingers crossed some of our qualifiers will get into the 25K WPT and make the money. I will be cheering from the rails. If time permits and it should in a 24 hour city I would like to play some poker. Lately, I have been playing a few sit and gos with friends and I have so got a feeling for it. Wish me luck! Let’s put it in perspective, the more I win, the more I can add to my purchases.
Next week, I will up update you on the Vegas trip and let you know all the plans for UB in Vegas during the WSOP.
Cheers,
Miss C
