creativeinsomnia 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'm a long time lurker here on the boards, just looking for some quick tips.I'm going to Vegas in a few days, i dont have a lot of money, but i want to play a few NL tournaments. I play online a lot, $10-$50 SNG's usually, never play cash games though. So do you poker nuts have any suggestions about where i can find a $20-$50 NL tournament this week in Vegas? I'll be staying at the Golden Nugget...and thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyMcCatcher 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 There's like a 60 dollar buy in @ the Nugget every day. hink there is an add on though. Binins has SNGS all day too. They also have like 3 mtts daily. In fact try the Plaza too. MOst of the small buy in tourneys are downtown. Link to post Share on other sites
yeffy 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Mirage and Bellagio both run sattelites for their weekly tournaments during the day. Might be worth playing a couple of single tables to take a shot at the bigger prize pool MTT's. Link to post Share on other sites
RyanM 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 There are daily MTT's at the Flamingo (I believe actually M-Th), Luxor, Sahara, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

murmar 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'll be going at the end of August for the first time, from Vancouver. The best deal I've found is $399 CDN for air and hotel at the Imperial Palace. Any reviews? Second choice is the Stratosphere for $429. My parents liked the Aladin, $589.

PestoSauce 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 15 hours of play during the week will get you into a freeroll. Don't know what day it is. Call for more info. 866-642-3120. Link to post Share on other sites

My parents liked the Aladin, $589.I've only seen the casinos, not the hotel rooms, so take this with a grain of salt......Aladdin looks beautiful and right in the middle of the strip, it would be my choice. Imperial Palace.....kind of a pit compared to many of the hotels, but has a great free bet coupon book, still near the center of the strip and hey...$ saved on the room can be used for gambling. Strat lookd nice comp to Imperial Palace, but at far end of strip (on way to downtown). Normally I enjoy walking, but not in 110 degree heat ! Have a ball. Link to post Share on other sites
RyanM 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Aladdin also has a great poker room, IMO...Imperial Palace is cool to stay at, so long as you don't stay in the motel style rooms. I won $500 at the video poker bar there too...:)Also IP has great comps. Link to post Share on other sites
poker_bull 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I heard, through the grapevine, that there's a freeroll at the Wynn over the weekend. Check it out. Tell 'em ur FCP, ask for Dan...u'll be golden. Link to post Share on other sites

My parents liked the Aladin, $589.Since it's your first time, I wouldn't recommend the Strat.It's WAAAY at the North end of the strip, nearest casino is Sahara, anything beyond that is quite a hike. Monorail stop at the Sahara though.Imperial Palace is a decent mid-strip location, Venetian, Harrahs, Flamingo all in easy reach on that side, Caesars, Mirage & TI across the street. Imperial Palace has a monorail station.Aladdin is in a decent location more towards the South end. Paris & Bally's next door, MGM a bit South. Bellagio, Monte Carlo & NYNY across the street. And a bit to the South, Excalibur, Luxor, & Mandalay Bay.I've personally stayed at MGM Grand, TI, Venetian (one night, it was the cheapest place I'd want to stay at for a Saturday night), Bellagio (got a great rate in July with a free lakeview upgrade), Monte Carlo, & Golden Nugget.Stayed at TI most frequently, usually get a good rate from there with an upgrade to the "tower deluxe" room with a good view of the strip. A couple of weeks ago they weren't offering decent rates when I wanted to go, & think one day they weren't even taking reservations, so I tried Monte Carlo. OK, but a bit of a step down from TI IMHO.As far as poker, played most frequently at Mirage. Played a couple of days at Wynn on the last trip, up $150 the first day, down that + $50 the second. Also played one day at Monte Carlo since I was staying there. Decent 2/4 game, one blind which was nice. Link to post Share on other sites
