First Vegas Trip - Advice Please

$100 and under tournies -- i like the orleans more than the sahara b/c the blind progression is slower.

the sahara is good too but it keeps doubling after like level 5 or 6....but hey for $62, what can u expect?

i heard PH's tournies are good for under $100 as well.


my fav tourney is the nightly venetian. it's $130 for 2,500 in chips and $50 for 2K add-on. so $180 for 4,500 in chips. 30 min blinds and it has a much favorable blind progression.

if u can shell out $330, wynn is good with 45 min blinds and pretty gradual as well.

the caesars changed their buy ins but i believe it is $150 at 7pm (4K or 4500 in chips, 40 min blinds, but quicker progression compared to V) the 11pm is $120 and they have Fri/Sat tournies too...just check out their website.

i pretty much stick to orleans if i want <$100 and play at Caesars or Venetian for under 200.

another word of advice which has helped me out a ton since i moved here....store all the poker room numbers in your cell....call them 45 mins or so bfore u re gonna head out and see what the wait situation is....it took about a week or 2 of going to bellagio only to be stuck on a 30 name wait list bfore my [censored] caught on to just call them bfore.
