I have taken the liberty of having a look at some of the Downtown tournaments, I quite like the idea of having a game before going drinking and gambling. We don"t want to be playing too late so I have listed some possibles.
Binions 10am $60 6000 Chips 15 Minute Levels
Nice and cheap and likely to be finished early afternoon. 2pm latest I would say. This would be plenty early enough.
Golden Nugget 11am $65 + $40 Rebuy 4000+4000 chips
Slightly more expensive but starts an hour later which might be the ideal time as it is likely to be done mid afternoon 3pm to 4pm which again is close to ideal in my opinion. We also get free drinks during the tournament anyway. Golden Nugget is also nice.
Binions 2pm Deepstack $80 20000 chips 20 minute levels
Good looking tournament but likely to go on into the evening. If a few of us play it at least one of us is pretty much sure to run deep. Tournament likely to last about 6 hours so will finish at about 8pm. To be honest this might be fine as Binions has Pai Gow tables and The Golden Nugget is onyl across the road. On fremont street everything is pretty much in one place anyway. Depends if we are planning
Harrahs also have a 10am tournament that could be an option although I would like to go and play on Fremont street as I have never played there. I am guessing we will choose on the day as we will all surface at different times.
As an aside to this I would also like to play at least one Aria tournament whilst in Vegas, I assume that is something others also want to do maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday?
