Private Tourney in Vegas?

[WLVRYN]

We're going to be in Vegas for a bachelor party next weekend (June 9-11). The bachelor would like us to setup a private poker tourney for Saturday afternoon. There will only be 10 guys, so it would basically just be a SNG (not a huge buyin, maybe $50 a guy). Does anyone know of any casinos that would do that for us? Also, any idea what kind of rake/tourney fees we would be looking at for this? We are staying at Treasure Island, but would be willing to play nearly anyplace that would take us. TIA.

Why dont you just get chips from the cage and play in your room and save the rake?

We thought about that, but its not like Vegas rooms are built with 10 person poker tables in them. We'd be playing on the beds (or the little table in the corner), which would be pretty uncomfortable.

Any other ideas?

1) No dealer
2) No cocktail waitresses
3) No atmosphere
4) Small table if any at all
5) Only two chairs if any at all

Of course, if your post was actually a sarcastic mockery of the general nittiness of this board, then it's actually really funny and I applaud you.

I am guessing that if you call TI poker room ahead of time, they will acomodate you. Let them know a time, and how many of you there are. Let them know the type of structure you expect and ask about the rake. If they won't accomodate you, Mirage runs SnG's quite a bit. Maybe Aladdin or Ceasars also. But because of location, TI or Mirage would probably be best. I would call the card rooms and speak with the managers.

Treasure island will happily run a sit-n-go for you. I can ask them in advance, but you probably don't need to do so just have all 10 of you show up and tell them you would like to play a sit-n-go.

The Plaza downtown has done this in the past.

Can't you all just bring your laptops and play one online?

Caesars Palace does this stuff regularly.

I've seen this done at the Wynn as well
