Vegas 2011

My flight leaves in less than 10 hours, and I'm ready to go. I'll keep this short otherwise I'll be up all night...
The flight lands at 2:15 or so, and I'm meeting up with some relatives between 5 and 6 PM, followed by a possible poker session at the Rio to warm up. There are a lot of PLO and PLO8 tournaments during my stay, and I'll play 5 or 6 of them including on of the WSOP PLO events. Sprinkle in a couple of NL tournaments and it will be a pretty full schedule.
While the tournment choices will be straightforward, the harder decision will be which cash games to play: NL, PLO, PLO8 etc. PLO has pretty high variance, but that can be good when it is on the winning side. PLO8 has less risk since there are a lot of split pots. On the other hand, I've been playing NL fairly well lately, so that is probably the best place to start.
