Ended up getting $1750.
Very happy about this considering that the company could have just shafted me as previously stated. I'd like to thank you all for your time and help! Hopefully I'll get eventually get to Vegas! Thanks again!

Well done, nicely played.

And to those saying the OP was an idiot, I think his behavior was quite reasonable. He was offered an opportunity to play this tournament, and pointed out that as he wasn't 21 he couldn't take full advantage of winning. He was told, That's true, but you're still eligible for a partial prize, that being an ultra-cool trip to Vegas. He decided that was worth his time and participated in the promotion. I have no quibble with anybody deciding jhow, and for what reward, they want to spend their time and effort.

At what point, in the process was he an idiot -- when he didn't assume that what he was being told by a site representative about being able to go on the trip was simply false information?
