Title: Vegas Info Post by: claypole on March 29, 2006, 03:44:04 PM Just got back from a quick trip and just thought Id post some info for any blondeutes going - its is changing so quickly!
Basically, the Caesars Palace card room is quality. Two tournaments a day with a fantastic structure. 12 noon, $80 + one $50 add on. Effectively becomes a 4500 chip, $130 freezout as rebuy is 3000 so you have got to have it. 40 minute clock - yes 40-mins and 60-100 runners. 7pm, same structure but $100 plus $120, so effectively a $220 freezout. Both great chances to play poker with a fantastic structure, made all the better if you win one and batter some yanks as I managed to do :-) Ceasars are also mirroring EVERY WSOP event in the summer with an exact 10% copy of the tourne the day before e.g. main event $1000 instead of $10000 - allowing practice at a reasonbale price. I think alot of us that went last year played the Palms mini festival - this looks like it will present some great options to eithger a) practice or b) enjoy the WSOP experioence at a bit less cost lol Also, a $300 at the Wynn Tues-Thru Thurs at 12, with $500 Sat and Sun at 12 - again great structure and a slightly cheaper alternative to the Bellagio. Its only 8 months since my last visit, and from a poker persepctive it just keeps getting better - although Spearmint Jhinos gone down hill a bit ha ha Title: Re: Vegas Info Post by: Claw75 on March 29, 2006, 08:47:00 PM Thanks for the info Claypole - I'm off to Vegas in four weeks. Staying at Caesars and was hoping I wouldn't have to look too far for $100ish buy in tournaments - so Bob's my uncle!
