The only SNGs on the strip that I know run are satellites to the Bellagio and Wynn tournaments. Get there weekdays between 8-10AM for both of those. I heard that the new Caesars Palace poker room wanted to get into that business, but I couldn't confirm that because their tournament room wasn't open on the first day.

Aladdin doesn't run 100-500 sng's. $55 buy in is what you'll find. They tooled around with the 110's and they couldn't get enough people to get one started, so back to the 55's they went.

Best bet is to call and find out. Not too many places run them. Aladdin was the first, and this is the first I've heard of the Luxor doing them. Harrahs tried them for about a month, got no action on them. There is just too much juice in sng's to bother playing them live. The reason being is the casino is using a poker table that would normally make double the take in an hour than a 1.5 hour SNG will make.

Play them online, seriously.

I noticed a flyer at Caesars Palace advertising SNGs.

Run, don't walk to the Mirage. I was out there a couple weeks ago and they had them going off very regularly with $100-$200 buy-in range. I played in a $100+15 and the play was comparable to a $10+1 on Party.

My Trip Report

Edit: I see the OP read the trip report already.
