Online vs B&M Tourneys (Friday at Bellagio)

I was wondering the difference in play between the 2. I do well in lower lever SNGs on Stars and was thinking about entering the weekly tourney at the Bellagio this Friday. Its a $1000 buyin with $200 sats. I would assume that its much tighter. Any insight? anyone play in any of these?

I would suggest posting this in the MTT forum.

If you normally play lower limit SNGs why jump to a $1K MTT for your first (presumably) live tournament? Ceasars has lower buyin MTTs that supposedly have a good structure ($100 - $300 range i believe) and Wynn has a $500 tournaments on Fridays with 40 or 45 minute levels. I played in this once and got to the final 6 and chopped. I play alot of MTTs online and some live and found the quality of play to be not quite as good as the higher buyin MTTs online ($100+). Only played it once though.

I will be in Vegas starting tomorrow (yipee) and may play the Friday tournament at the Wynn and/or the Friday evening tournament at Ceasars.
