Default Re: Best daily Vegas tournament for low rollers?? (under 70.00 entry fee)

I made my first trip to Vegas back in September and after researching all of the daily tourneys, PH seemd to have the best structured tourney for a low roller like myself. I played it and enjoyed it. The entry fee was $60 I believe.

The Orleans $80 events are not unplayable structures, though there is that nasty more than 2x jump from 50/100 to 100/200/25 in there. Not on the strip, though, and you don't want to walk it.

All 3 of these are decent so based on your location on the strip each day hit one or more of these:

South Strip - Planet Hollywood
Mid Strip - Treasure Island
North Strip - Sahara

Has anyone checked out the Stratosphere lately? I guess they have 4 60.00 buy in tournaments a day and the structure is ok..

The IP has a daily noon for 60 and you get 3000 in chips. Then at 8pm they have a 80 with $10 bountys.3000 starting chips as well. Usually 40 players for both tourneys on fri,sat, and sunday. 20-30 on weekdays. Really cool tourney. Very beatable.Mostly all tourist. Not saying tourist are bad players. You no what i Mean.

Stratosphere gets my vote, I've played in two of them, chopped 3 way once and placed the 3rd in another. The Sunday night one I played had 45 people, but the Saturday afternoon one only had 27, didn't make sense to me.

The structure is decent (4K in chips, 20 min rounds), fields are weak and they take less juice when compared to PH and Sahara.

Have fun,
-Ron

I played this tournament, but it only had 10 people both times I played. The players were horrible. I played it twice, bubbled once after getting sucked out twice by the same guy. The second one, I was down to 1500 chips with 4 left (2 paid), and 500/1000 blinds and UTG. Two guys had about 7k each and another guy had like 3500. The idiots all got all in, and the donk with the biggest stack sucked out against both of them. I managed to come back and win being down 19000 to 1000. It was pretty bad, and if you just want to screw around and be done in 2 hours its a decent tournament.

From my experience Sahara generally has more players/tourney than PH and TI so you stand to win more, but I've always experienced better floor/dealers at PH/TI as well as better rooms, which as a low stakes recreational player, goes a long way in my decision making.
