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.
