Additional Daily Tournaments - $65- 9am / $150- 7pm / $120- 11pm.

Registration for Mega Stack Series start everyday at 10:00am.

Staff Bonus Chips are optional and must be purchased at time of registration. Three percent of total prize pool will be withheld for poker staff.

Blind Levels 50 Minutes / Mega Championship 60 Minutes. Must be 21 years or older to enter.

Blind Structures are a little more tricky to locate...I keep an eye on the All Vegas Poker Forum (http://www.allvegaspoker.com/forum/index.php)

WSOP is a GREAT time to be in Vegas.

Wow - you are certainly spoiled for choice.  I just won a main event seat on Laddies and will look to have a go at the Venetian and Caesars events too!

Staff bonus chips???

What's that about? Looks like you can buy an extra 2500 for $10. Pretty good value when it's 12500 for $500!!

Is this just a way of getting a guaranteed tip for the staff as everyone would have to be stupid not to buy them or am I reading this wrong?

Nope you are correct, the Staff/Dealer's Tip add-ons are a common feature of Vegas tournaments and DO go to the dealer staff.

See All Vegas Poker (http://www.allvegaspoker.com/) for a full list of tournaments by room
