Higher buy-in tourneys in vegas

gjpure · #1 04-05-2007, 03:28 PM

I am approaching my second vegas trip during the first week of May and am considering playing in a couple higher buy-in tourneys (300-1k). I would like to know what people know about the tourneys at Bellagio, Venetian and Wynn. What is the typical field size, how many get paid, structure, etc.? Any other imformation regarding these tournaments would be helpful in deciding which to play. Thanks.

In the top of this forum is a thread labeled "Classic B&M Threads"

In that thread is a link to a threads that I wrote that has a list of the best tournies, and a link to all their pertinent info, including avg player pools and structures.

Caesars has recently added a Saturday $330, starting at 330. It might be worth a look. Also, the WSOPC will be there through May 2.

I was recently in Vegas and on Friday, the Belaggio $1080 onnly had 50 players, don't recall how many they paid, but I'd assume 3-5, most likely 3. I also played in the $550 Venetian on Saturday, which ended up with 72 players. When I played the $330 Ceasers on the previous Saturday, it drew over 100 players and paid top 9. I did not play the Wynn, so I can't comment.

Out of all of them, I like the Venetian the best...room, staff, structure, etc. Next would be Caesars. Have a good trip!
