To guarantee your spot for any of the CEO Poker Tour events please purchase your seat at the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino tournament desk after 6:00pm the night before the tournament, or the morning of the event

According to the CEO website:

You don't have to be a CEO to participate in this event. It is open to all executives. Buy ins start from $500- $5,000.

So, how will anyone prove they're an executive? Anyone checking this out while in Vegas?

Edit:

The CEO POKER TOUR is open to executive participants, and does not require a participant to be a CEO, business owner, or senior executive. CEO Poker Tour uses the Webster Dictionary definition of an Executive as a means to confirm eligibility, an Executive: a person responsible for the administration of a business. A position responsible for directing or assisting in directing the overall activities of a department, autonomous agency, bureau, or equivalent. A person or group having administrative or managerial authority in an organization.

Additionally, professional poker players can play in the CEO POKER TOUR, as long as, they can prove they own their own company, poker or otherwise, and retain managerial duties and financial responsibility for that company.

To further define Executive, we have included possible titles that would enable participants to qualify as a player in the CEO Poker Tour, NOT the Chairman of Poker even. The title list is a guide and there may be additional titles submitted for consideration.

As a business owner, I qualify. Hmmm.

i asked a few days ago and they indicated to me anyone could play.

as far as i know, you can't register the night before (i believe that is what they said).

i think its 5k starting chips, anyone have info on chips and blinds?

[AZplayer]

10k starting chips, 40min rounds, decent structure, crappy start time (5pm)

Basically same structure as at Binion's, but 3 hours later. The 2pm Binion's went until about 3:30am with 261 runners. The Venetian is nicer, cleaner, auto-shufflers, etc. but the field is a bit softer at Binion's, even when you get deep.

[Dynasty]

I was just at the Venetian. They have signs up telling players that cash games may be closed down at 4:30 to accomodate the tournaments.

[DoGGz]

They are still running cash games at the start of the event. This event is getting pretty good fields at least 300, but the V poker room is big enough to hold it and cash games.
