Even though I’ve been to Las Vegas dozens of times now, it still takes me a few days to adjust to the surreal nature of the city and the extravagance, in spades. And it really drives home just how amazing these live trips are with the bwin Team, even aside from the poker action itself.
Win a trip package in an online finals (with satellites and online finals currently running on bwin for the APT Macau) and not only do you get to battle it out on the felt with the world’s top poker pros, but you’ll also get to visit some of the world’s finest hotels, restaurants, and night clubs.

As if that’s not enough, many of the bwin Team members strike up friendships on these trips that last long after the trip is over, a fact mentioned by both Puggy82 and sirin-22 in their recent interviews. Past Team members including billybilliard, Wieringen, and Locstaonfire have all spent time hanging out in recent weeks here in Vegas with Puggy82 and sirin-22 (and apparently getting up to all sorts of hijinks including breaking Segways and attempting — but failing — to climb a 50-foot palm tree on the Las Vegas Strip outside Margaritaville).
If all of the above isn’t incentive enough to take a few shots at the online finals and Big Bounties that award trip packages, we don’t know what is. With satellites to the online finals running daily at all buy-in levels, it’s easier than ever to parlay that into a trip package and an experience that you’ll never forget.
