    I guess it also depends on what buy ins you are looking to play.

    Im headed to veagas on Wed, cant f'n wait. If your lookin for lower buy in games it looks like Binnions is the place to be. They have 4 or 5 daily tournys, only downside is it's off the strip. There's a couple other places that have good tourny strusture and some that suck. allvegaspoker.com is a good resource. good luck at the tables

    I am also interested in getting some info on vegas tournies. I have been to allvegaspoker.com and looked at their tourney listings, but it seems incomplete.

    I don't see any listings for Caesar's Palace there, so I went to Caesar's website and found a pdf file that says there is a noon 80+50R game, and a 7pm 120+100R game. But that is _all_ that the pdf says. I assume these are daily tournies? Is there only a single rebuy allowed, or is it unlimited? Are there any other tournies offered there?

    Also, I am a bit confused about the listing for the Wynn. Allvegaspoker has the Friday Wynn tourney at 3:00pm - but Wynn's website says all tournies are at noon. Which is it? Also, the smaller buyin tournies listed for the Wynn - are they just sat's into the bigger buyin tourney?

    Finally, I don't see any big ($100+) tournies listed for Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Are there any, or do the poker rooms just mostly run cash games on the weekends? I see some listings for Sunday night at the Mirage and MGM Grand, but I'm planning to fly out Sunday night, so I don't think I'll have time to play those.

    I am planning a trip for May 26th - 28th.

    Thanks for any input.

    Well i am headed out on the 18th I don't care to much on the buyin even though i guess i prefer the lower end of the food chain. I have looked at all vegas but it is very incomplete. I am thinking about some of the tournies at The Orleans becuase the have hi/lo but need to find a few more to play. I also dont want to get into a rebuy fest . I hear the 1-3 cash game at the Wynn is nice as is the 2-5 at the Bellagio if you get there early.

    Unless it changed in the last month or so the Wynn tournaments start at noon Mon through Friday. I highly recommend the Wynn tourney. Ceasars is decent as well for a bit lower buy in.

    The Wynn $330 on Thursday at Noon is awesome 3000 chips 25/25 blinds to start 45 min levels anywhere from 50 to 90 people. Not sure about start time Friday I know it's a $540 same chips, blinds, and level time.

    I played a daily tourney at the Stratosphere a few months back. Buy in was 50 bucks. You get 2500 in chips to start. Structure was nice. Had 1 optional rebuy for 50. It was like 50 players. Paid out four places. And in true AFINK93 fashion. I finished 5th. Didnt get one hand better than A6 suited and pocket 77. Thats it. But played tight and hung around. Not a pro-level tourney. But a nice one anyway.

    Wynn has the best structure for their tournaments. Friday's starts at Noon too. With the long blind levels be prepared to play for 8 or 9 hours.

    Wynn has best daily tournament starting at noon with satellites starting at 8am. Structure is awesome, FT concludes about 8-9pm or so. You might check the venetia nas well since they just opend a pretty big room.

    Caesers 80+50 is best low buy in tourney in vegas. Every day at noon

    80 buy in gets you 1500 in chips
    50 re-buy (which you should take to start) gets you 3000 additional chips
    40 minute levels (the best for a low buy in vegas)

    You can start with 4500 chips with 40 minute levels with the blinds starting at 25/50.

    Cant get much better than this for 130 bucks. The 7:00 125+100 is the same structure and is obviously also a great tourney.

    Good Luck

    Is the Ceasers tournament a multiple. rebuy tourny. I kinda want to stay away from mutiple rebuys, but if it is the best maybe i should play. I have a decent backroll not huge. couldnt afford to put 500 into a rebuy to play it the right way.

    The Sahara's one that someone had mentioned was my favorite tourney when i went there... theres 2 maybe even 3 of them a day... i know for sure one starts at 11 PM.

    lowest rake for sure... 42 buy in 20 1 add on only, If you lose you can buy in as another person. Normally they get over 100 people and its pretty bad ass.

    2000 chips start
    1500 for the add on
    Start at 25/25 blinds go up every 20 mins

    For lower limit this is the best one... cheap and decent pot.

    I didnt know about the ceasers one or i would have tried that out... sounds like a great structure.

    Good luck man!!! hope u have a good time.

    The biggest fish are at GVR( Green Valley Ranch) for cash games. It doesnt seem to matter what limit you play they come there in droves. They see the show AMERICAN CASINO on T.V. and they migrate to the tables and play some of the worst poker you will ever see. The play is worse than a .10 turbo or a 3-5 rebuy.
    Its easy to get to its in Henderson right off of 215. If you dont mind leaving the strip then its worth it!
