Vegas Weekly Tournaments, donrhem, 13. Jun 2003 07:45

We are headed to Vegas next week.

I have a list of the weekly tournaments but was wondering if anyone has played them and which ones would be the best.

I want to play some NL HE and maybe PL HE.

Thanks,
Don

I like the single rebuy tournaments at the Orleans.

Specifically, the Friday Night and the Sunday noon no-limit hold'em.

The single re-buy no-limits at the Mirage are also good.

Hey Paul-

What are the buy-ins on those? Might be worth a drive after work today...

Hey Moz-

We will be there 6/19 - 6/23. Let me know if you are going to play.

It would be fun to hook up with someone fromt he UPF board.

Good luck when ever you play!

I have to hit Vegas on weekends when I don't have my kids... that means tonight, if I go. The kids will be home with me next weekend... (we alternate weekends). Perhaps next time?

Sounds good!

Our "kid" is now 21, still living at home, so we don't have to worry about that.

I will let you know the next time I am in town.

Good luck again.

Paul,

Thanks for the quick response!

We are staying at Harrah's so the Mirage will be great. I was thinking about the Orlean's tournaments so your info makes it seem like a good idea.

Although I haven't played in these tournaments, the Mirage spreads several NL HE tournaments on a weekly basis.
Some of them have re-buys and the buy-ins are around $100 or so.

Good Luck and have fun.

I played in a single table satellite for the evening tournament, coming in first, and can vouch for the play being tough and dedicated. Alas, I left Vegas that night I did not have the opportunity to get my "can kicked past my ears", so I chopped for the money and second place got the entry. I love the way the tourneys are run at the Mirage, ... Very pro and the tables are comfortable.

Unless you are a "really, really big fan" of Wheel of Fortune, avoid the Monte Carlo poker room. Just outside (and I mean ten feet away from the main entrance ...) there is a slots that shouts out "WHEEL ... OF ... FORTUNE" every ten minutes. It will drive you insane. That said, the poker was nice and the people there friendly.

The Orleans tourneys are cheap. No more than $60, but as cheap as $20 with bounties.

The Mirage tourneys are either $60 or $120 buy-in.....Thursday night No Limit, Weds night limit.

Thanks again to all for your information.

If anyone from UPF is going to be in Vegas 6/19 on let me know. I would love to chat and compare notes.
