I'm going to vegas in 13 weeks now :) Was the TI tourney unlimited rebuys? im not keen on rebuys, gonna go in the $130 freeze out at the mirage though :)

If anyone recommends anywhere to play. let me know

Cheeeeers big ears

TI have $60 tourneys at 11am and 6pm, rebuys for the first 4 levels. plus 5$ addon after lvl 4 for an extra 1000 chips.

Luxor is the same, but $35 buy in, with 24/7 $65 SNG's.

I liked the look of the MGM room, its massive, but didnt get a chance to play in there.

cool, im gonna check out the MGM, im in vegas for 9 days on a poker holiday so i'll probably be there

Don't play in the $60 tourney at the MGM which starts at 11 am, the structure is too fast, but the $125 that starts at 6 pm is good 3000 chips 30 min levels. I got back yesterday after 8 days of playing $2/$4 limit and drinking vanilla stolli & coke, I miss it already. ;D

VANILLA STOLLI IS THE S**T, most wetherspoons sell it but no-one knows what it is :) i used to have one after work when i worked at spoons.

I'll probably check out the $125 tourney, where else do you recommend?

I like the Venetian... superb room... weekday midday & 8pm tournies... $110 + $15 (I think... $125 anyway) for T1500 chips + $5 (dealers bonus) for T1000 chips + 1 x $50 re-buy for T1500 chips... so $180 total, T4000 chips and either 30 or 40 min clock (July seems so long ago now!!).

35 to 40 runners for the midday tourney when I was there... I believe  they get more for the evening one.

I managed to win at the $1/$2 NL games as well... and I don't consider myself much of a cash game player!

Back again in March 07... can't wait.  ;D

I love that avatar.

cool dog

was there last week, this is the best cheap comp in Vegas.

The $125 in the MGM is a horrible structure and the 25 is the juice!

I agree


I was there at the beginning of the month and intended to play Tourneys and SnG's.
However the structures were terrible. The $60 dollar Sng's at the MGM were a lottery
and a tourney I played at Bally's was just as bad. I ended up playing $1/$2 at the MGM
which went really well in the end. I'm not normally a cash player but after a few losing sessions
I got the hang of it and doubled up on my last two.

I would agree that the tourneys at Ballys are poor, but the $1/2 NLHE cash games are very yummy. As the room is just off the casino floor (near the craps tables) it seems to attract the inebriated who have the urge to just keep chucking $100's down and making rash moves out of position, while they order their next cocktail!

Im going in march too!!!!!!!! what date you going?

Sounds about right, some of the poorest play around is found in vegas. The A 3 a classic example, they just love rag aces over there and cant put them down.

Cant wait till I go again in April.

Lots of the tourneys in Vegas allow EITHER 1 rebuy OR a top up. These build the prize pool and give you another chance if you get outdrawn early on. They are good if you dont like standard rebuy tourneys.
Have to look out for the juice though. Most places there just charge a fee, then take the juice off it rather than asking for 10%. In some places they cream as much as 30% off the top. Makes it difficult to come out in profit.

Don't go to vegas if you are going to be a sad git and try to eke a profit out of the small comps, just go there and enjoy yourself, yes the juice is high but look around you! Make sure you get enough of the free drinks!

If you want to play for profit then just stay at home!

March 19th (or 20th) til 27th (or 28th)

I'm also going to Vegas Feb 27-mar 9,2007.

I've not been before, cos of the dialysis i need, but now i'm biting the bullet and payiing for private treatment i'm away for my 50th......ca'nt wait.

nearer the time i'll be quizzing you experts on what to do,out there. Aspades

Hey, I never said there wasn't profit to be had, just need a little bit of selection ;)
Plenty of time for poker and the attractions of Vegas.
The other Vegas ritual of course - forget sleep, there's too much to do/see!!!!
