World Series of Poker 2009 Lodging Specials

It's that time of year again! The WSOP is coming to Las Vegas full force. Even with an economy in limbo, the number of participants and prize money is expected to set records. Who doesn't want a chance to get their hands on a piece of the multiple hundreds of millions of dollars in prizes? The WSOP is a huge draw to Las Vegas for players and spectators alike. A trend among players is sharing lodging with other participants. This actually ends up working out to everyone's advantage. They go through vacation rental companies that cater towards WSOP players like Zen Getaways, that offer special pricing for players. Hotels are cramped, expensive, and extremely busy during this event. WSOP rental homes are private homes, located minutes from the venue. These homes have multiple bedrooms, private pools and spas, BBQs, big screen TVs, and full kitchens. It works out great for players too, because instead of having to eat out every night in high-priced restaurants, they can cook their own food and save tons of money. It ends up being especially useful for players who end up making it the farthest in the competition.

WSOP brings a number of returning participants each year to Las Vegas. Many of the players become friends during the course of the tournament and can reunite and hang out with their friends while staying in a vacation home. Private homes are ideal for regrouping your playing strategies, and going over the games of the day without all of the hustle and bustle of hotels. If you haven't stayed in a WSOP rental home for previous tournaments, I highly recommend that you give it a try. My brother comes from Hawaii and has stayed in a vacation home every year since a friend of his had rented one. Now he shares it with a couple of friends from the east coast that reunite at WSOP each year. He booked through a couple different places, and ended up using Zen Getaways again and again. They always get him the best house and also get him discounts on rental cars. If you are looking for lodging, you'd better hurry! Most WSOP players reserve the year before, but they always have last minute specials for procrastinators!
