Nevada state law forbids hotels with casinos to let people under 21 years old to put rooms in their names. If you're not 21, and/or not traveling with someone 21+, you can't get a room in a hotel that has a casino on site.

I'd be with my 23 year old brother. But, if this were the case why should I be screwed over and not the website, they didn't say anything about this and obviously the tournament came across as open to everyone, which it was.

Your 23-year-old brother didn't win. You did. The room would be in your name, not his. Otherwise, you'd be transferring the prize, which apparently you're not allowed to do.

Also, the purpose of the trip is to compete in a tournament, which you would also not be allowed to do, and neither would your brother. The travel expenses are incidental to the main prize, which is the tournament entry.

Since you didn't post the site, it's impossible for us to know what the T&C says, but I'd be surprised if they completely skipped over the age requirement. That's rather fundamental.

Without knowing all the details, the $1K may or may not be a good deal. In any event, you should have carefully read the T&C and asked questions before entering if there was any doubt.
