Little help with booking Vegas trip in January please

January 12th-16th (Tuesday-Saturday). I'm looking for a nice place to stay for 4 nights on the strip. I found some Rialto Room at the Venetian for $409 or something a night, and it sounds really nice. It's going to be me and 3 other dudes so I'd like a larger-than-normal room.

I don't mind paying $409 or whatever a night, but is there any way I can get anything comped or get a discount (via poker room or something). What's my best play? I could book for a night and haggle when we get there.

ALSO, other hotel options if any residents know of something better. I haven't stepped foot in the Venetian.

Any good lower buyin tournaments going on now?

I'm talking $100-200 range, or am I better off just playing satty's?

sunday second chance

stars obv

I'll be in Vegas from 5/15-5/17

Don't know where I'm staying yet but if any old-schoolers want to meet up for a beer or some Beat the Russki I'll be around.
