However, it also takes almost 8 hours to get there.

I guess if you're playing Cash, 8 hours of playing time isn't too bad. It states on their website the bus departs San Antonio at 5:30 am and arrives at Winstar at 1:00 pm, and then leaves again at 9:30 pm. I suppose the only thing I'm really worried about is time constraints. I'm also down in San Antonio and have been looking at taking this bus to Winstar. There is often 1-2 4/8 limit hi/lo split with a half kill omaha tables running, 1-2 1/2/5 pot limit omaha games and, from time to time, a 10/20 limit omaha game. There are generally 4-5 4/8 limit tables also spreading holdem. If you are at Winstar on the weekends, there are many 1/2 no limit tables running (10+), 5+ 2/5 no limit, a couple of 5/10 no limit tables all spreading holdem. They aren't particularly comfortable if you are big, but they are cheap especially if you carefully manage your free play. I chat with folks who come from other places and all the buses seem to be pretty much as advertised. I ride the bus from Dallas several times a week.

I read about the bus that leaves every friday/sat for winstar, but is it worth it? The casino reps claimed there was no transportation going to the casino. Every effort will be made to operate tours as planned, but alterations may occur after the itinerary has been published.I'm down in san antonio tx, which means I have two realistic options for a day of poker: Winstar, 5 hour drive, or lucky eagle casino, 2.5 hour drive and not really nice. **Itineraries and arranged sightseeing are subject to change at any time due to circumstances beyond our control.
