For those who are heading out to Vegas in the near future... and that don't have bottom-less pockets.
The Venetian currently have two daily tournaments, at 12.00 pm (noon) and 8.00 pm.
The buy-in is $110 + $25 for 1500 chips, plus a $5 (staff bonus) add-on for 1000 chips... so you can start with 2500 chips for $130... There is one $50 re-buy, again for 1500 chips, which can be taken any time in the first 1 1/2 hrs (3 levels)... and a 30 min clock throughout.
Usually about 60 entries (65 yesterday).
Blind schedule and full details are here -
