    lowest cash would be $1/2 at most of them cheapest torneys are $30 in the luxor and mandalay  bay but blinds a bit steep but they are very friendly and you will get a good game  average players are about 30 so in with a good chance play only what u can aford have a good time  im out there in the summer

    Lowest buy in tourney I found on the strip was $40 at O'Sheas, and a few $50 also, downtown casinos can be cheaper also.

    All Vegas tourneys and buys in can be found at this site

    I am 53 days away!!

    as a regular in vegas

    the cheaper tournys are osheas the imperial palace  the sahra is cheap
    plus a great buffet there

    the stratosphere is good value

    harrahs is medium value but a good number off entrants every afternoon

    evern the rio is not to expensive

    all casinos run tournements every day

    hope this helps

    Melvyn - the website Solar Posted is perfect.

    Try & play a few different rooms to properly sample Vegas. If you can afford to play at Ceasars or The Venetian, do try, they are both excellent.

    Avoid The Rio at all costs, though.

    Also, go downtown & play at Binions to taste the olde-world Vegas. The WSOP was held there, amazingly, until a few years back.

    Do NOT go "off-strip" at nights, it's the second most dangerous poker City on earth if you wander off-strip at night.

    Enjoy.

    Have fun, I went in October and had a blast!

    Pretty much every casino has 2-3 tourneys a day.

    I played a few at the stratosphere where I was staying but twas a bit bingo.  I bubbled both times!

    Play at Caesers Palace....best value for money for sure! Tis a great poker room!

    Barcelona - it's "no contest"! If you cash, you get mugged. Been like that for years.

    Good Luck in Vegas. I can't imagine for one moment that you are the sort of chap who would venture off-strip. Hardly.

    Nicest card room - Probably Wynn or Ceasars (buy ins can be a bit steep though)
    Softest - Tropicana (very soft cash tables, smells a bit of wee though)

    I wish to place on record that it's been some years since I visited or played at The Tropicana.

    hi mere  novice . just an update from our  chat on vegas tournaments, well I took 260  dollers and managed 11 tournaments, they were at the LUXOR and with a buy in of $35, I won the first and managed a 2nd ,3rd,4th 5th 7th and 9th only missing the final table 3 times and won my last one . winning 250 105 and 200 dollers . what an experience  I played all but 1 at LUXOR but tried 1 at EXCALIBUR, didnt like that 1 because of the amount of rebuys,  40 starters and over 28 rebuys . LUXOR games are freezouts  which I enjoy  because it encourages sensible play  . once again thanks for your help , cheers and good luck.
