If you’re a die-hard poker fan, chances are you’ve spent much of the summer with your eyes firmly glued on the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Fierce battles around the poker tables, in every discipline you can imagine from Texas hold’em to Omaha, Stud, and H.O.R.S.E, wowed the crowds who’d converged on Las Vegas for the competition.
If you’re already getting withdrawal symptoms from the action, or you feel like you missed out on the fun by not being there in person - fear not, the next exciting stage of the competition kicks off in just 3.5 months time, when the November Nine return to compete for the number one spot, and the prize money of $8,000,000.
The November Nine, who represent the USA, Belgium, Spain, Canada, and the Czech Republic will once again battle at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in the heart of Las Vegas. This means that even when you’re not watching your poker heroes play their latest hand, you can be having the time of your life enjoying the sights and sounds of arguably the world’s most vibrant city.
Should you opt to ship in, you won’t have to travel far to start enjoying all that Las Vegas has to offer. The Rio is centrally-located, which means you’re surrounded by world-class casinos and restaurants serving up any variety of cuisine you can possibly harbour a hankering for. On site alone you’ll find steak, Mexican, seafood and Indian food, and should you want to take in a show, currently ‘Rock of Ages’, Penn & Teller, Eddie Griffin, and The Chippendales, are all dazzling guests nightly. Plus, let’s not forget the fact that the casino has everything you could possibly want to cater to all your gambling needs, including poker, table games, keno – the list goes on.
With three months to go you have plenty of time to book your tickets to be part of the action. Why not treat yourself to a winter break to Las Vegas before the competition is done and dusted, and you’re left kicking yourself for missing out on all the exciting action. Come on, don’t you think you deserve a holiday?
