Default Best Vegas Daily MTT\'s ?

Gonna be in town from a Thursday night to Sunday morning. Just curious where the best daily NL Hold'em MTT's are in Vegas in terms of blind structure, organization, vig, etc. Preferably $50-$250 range.

Here's what I got so far as possibilities. Dunno if I'm missing any or if I should specifically avoid any of these.






thanks

Don't forget Caesar's - although I haven't been since late Oct, when I was there it had a MTT that started at noon on Sat with a 40 minute blind structure - the tourney can take 5 to 6 hours to complete with that structure, but it allows for some play instead of an "all in" fest

Ceasers has by far the best daily tournaments on the strip. The daily noon tournament is a $80+50 with 40 minute levels, 4500 chips total, starting at 25-50. Nightly 7 p.m. tourneys are $120+100, with the same structure. They also have an 11 p.m. tournament that is $70. This tourney has 30 minute levels, and only 2000 chips, but still better than most of the other rooms. Tournaments last around 6-8 hours.

alright thanks for the input, but is the entry fee seriously over half of the buyin?

That list is horrible. I see 3 or 4 incorrect listing in there.

please check the www.allvegaspoker.com and use their tournament database as it's more up to date.

There is no Flamingo Hilton in Vegas. That joint is in Laughlin. The Aladdin doesn't have a 93+17 tournament. Orleans tournament is incorrect as they overhauled their schedule last month. Other info is out of date in there as well.

Actually, that's misleading. That's the rebuy fee. If I recall correctly, you get 1500 chips for the $80, and for $50 more you get 3000 chips. I know it's insane, but just plan to spend the $130 total for 4500 chips. You can take the rebuy anytime until the break. I played in this tourney this year, and cashed. It was the only tourney I played the whole time in Vegas that didn't have 15 minutes blinds, and was actually worth playing.

My personal choices for daily MTT's are:

Caesars Noon... hands down, best bang for the buck.
Wynn Noon... Best bang for 330 bucks.
Venetian 8pm or Caesars 7pm... Best evening bangs for 180 or 220 bucks.
Sahara 7pm or 11pm... Best bangs for 62 bucks.

On your way out, you can get the second best "bang" of your trip for another 200. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But with Ceasars tourney you will have to pay taxes if you win over $600. I think this really negates the excellent structure.

You have to pay taxes no matter how much you win at any casino. It's just that Harrah's has different reporting requirements. But the amount of tax you will end up paying, assuming you do your taxes honestly, will be the same.
