Live Poker Trip Planning

After a lot of preparation, I have finally figured out my MTT schedule. Logistics (lodging/rental car) are still pending.
In retrospect, if I had planned my vacation a little better, I would have preferred to be in LA for 2 different simultaneous tournament series (NAPT - LA at the Bike & Commerce Casino - LA Poker Open) or possibly USPC - Atlantic City.

It's an interesting schedule for various reasons:
1. PLO8! (enough said)
2. I've never played a live rebuy tourney with a decent structure. They are offering an NLHE version too, but I'm probably only going to play the 6-max NLHE.
3. A couple of my friends will be out in AC as well. Some will get there before me, but I should see all of them and/or play some MTTs together. 


I really wanted to play WSOP-Circuit AC's LO8 MTT ($350 LO8 on 12/10), but the "2 day" format of most of the MTTs in NO (specifically 7 game mix on 12/8) would have caused a very undesirable time crunch to get to AC by 12/10.
7 game mix > LO8 > NLHE
