N1 Wayne. If you wanna meet up with Charlie "janc" and I, we"re still trying to arrange a game and meeting place for the night of Tuesday 20th - the day after I get married out there.

Below is part of the last email I sent him yesterday morning;

The 7pm game at Golden Nugget ($65 + $19 & one $40 ReBuy) would suit me fine.

As would the 8pm at Binions ($70 + $20 & one $40 ReBuy).

If you"d prefer to play earlier than 7pm and / or prefer a FreezeOut, MGM Grand do a $125 + $25 on Tuesday night at 6pm. I noticed that the % return was higher than the other two at 80% (stats got from a Tourney comparison website I"ll PM you if you"re interested).

I see that Imperial Palace run a $80 + $15 Freezout on Tuesday night with an 81% return. I"ll happily play there if you two want to. You"ll have to enlighten me on the venue though as I hadn"t even heard of it until last month!

We should maybe start another better-named thread about this ... Vegas in November 2007 perhaps.

Neil/Wayne,

I would highly recommend the game at Ceaser"s Palace. When I was last there I think it was about $110, twice per day. 40mins blinds and 100-300 entrants.

I played at many other venues and many were crapshoots, best to check the structure first before signing up. Avoid Luxor at all costs. (IMHO).

Thanks for that Stuart.

I have Ceaser"s and MGM Grand (where I"m staying) bookmarked for at least one tourney each. Then, if I was able to grab a drink and a tourney with both Charlie on Tues and Wayne on Wed night, one or two other tourneys elsewhere.

I"m going by recommendations at http://www.pokerplayermagazine.co.uk/poker/features/2618/get_everything_you_need_from_poker.html
and I"m using a tournament schedule that can be found by Googling "las vegas poker tournament schedule" - it"s the 2nd one down.

The daily Freezouts - 7pm, 5,000 chips, 40 min blinds are $150 + $25 and
11pm, 4,000 chips, 30 min blinds, $120 + $30 only average 80 players apparently.
I"m def going to do the 7pm one on the Sunday night in the hope that it tops 120/150 players and I"m off now to mention it to Charlie ...

Hi Charlie, was just gonna PM you ...

Whadday you think of the above as well as / instead of Tuesday night? (I updated at 22:22)

I started a new post so that everyone who wanted updated on Sat night"s tourney isn"t having to listen to us rubbing it in - http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=580.msg8978#msg8978

[lukybugur]

Can I move the chat from your congratulations email at http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=569.msg8977#new to here ... ?

If anyone else is out there and wants to meet up or can recommend a tourney, get posting.

[APAT]

Good call Neil.  Good luck to you all in Vegas, we"re looking forward to the updates!  

[lukybugur]

WOW, THAT WAS QUICK DES! Many thanks.

News will obviously be posted back ...

Replying to the following PM:

The 7pm game at Golden Nugget ($65 + $19 & 1 $40 ReBuy) would suit me fine.
if you"r ok with it i would prefer this one as its our last night ( not far to bed after a good celebration drink)

Good call. Golden Nugget, 7pm Tues night it is.

Register from 5pm, 2,500 chips, 20 min levels, 1 Rebuy it averages just 30 players so it"s finished just after 10pm - perfect!

Now to pick a pub to meet in ...

sounds good to me on the sunday night, but  don"t you get married on theMonday?

[monkeyman]

://www.allvegaspoker.com/ has a full list of tourney times,structures,payouts and field sizes. I was out there in March/April last year and managed a first and 2 final tables finishes at Ballys. It doesn"t mean I was any good, just that the competition is notoriously soft there. Treasure Island is supposed to be very good and Planet Hollywood has recently been improved. Michael Mizrachi hosts a tournament at the latter 3 times a week with a $300 bounty on his head proceded by a question and answer session. I"m sure he"s quaking in his boots knowing I"m coming for him in 3 weeks

Yep, gettin" married on Monday night, 7pm. The ceremony only takes 7.5 minutes apparently   - even if I"m tired I should be able to keep my eyes open for 10 mins (including the short two-legged commute to and from the limo)  

Sorry Simon, forgot to add your name to the header. Added it into the header of this post but don"t know if it will propogate throughout ...

I am hoping to play around the $100, so the Ceaser"s game that Stuart mentioned seems to be the one, especially since I am just across the road, but don't arrange anything around me. Just tell me wear you will be playing and I will try to meet you there (not over $120). I prefer to play in the day as well, as the wife will be with me and I don't want to leave her on here own at night. (And yes I am under the thumb)

Bring the wife downtown with you she can keep mine company
