Please note that you MUST be 21 or over when due to attend Las Vegas. Players who will not be 21 by the package dates should not enter, as their place cannot be taken by someone else.
Packages are NOT transferable, cannot be sold, & no cash alternative is available. If you cannot attend, please don't enter.
You may only win ONE Viva Las Vegas package, no matter what route you choose. So if you win a package in, say, a Satellite, you cannot win a package in MISSION or LEAGUES.
You CAN win a £4,000 & an £11,600 package of course, as they are separate, & on different dates.
The VIVA LAS VEGAS SATELLITES start today, Sunday March 5th.
The Satellite page is HERE
To find Viva Las Vegas Satellites in the Lobby, easiest means is to use the VEGAS tab.
The very first satellite is at 11.50 this morning, & costs £2.25. Various Satellites will run all day, leading to a Quarter Final at 2045 tonight.
Finals for the £4,000 package will take place on;
Sunday 2nd April
Sunday 30th April
Sunday 28th May
5 packages are Guaranteed in each of those Finals.
For the £11,600 package, the Final, with 5 seats Guaranteed, will take place on Sunday May 28th.
Please read the T & C's BEFORE entering.
MISSION LAS VEGAS starts tomorrow, Monday March 6th.
Please note, you MUST OPT IN.
The MISSION LAS VEGAS page is HERE
The Missions for Week 1 are on that Landing Page. Please be aware that for each of the 4 separate weeks, the Missions may change.
Complete the Mission, & you get entry into a Freeroll the following Saturday @ 20.30.
Each of the 4 MISSION LAS VEGAS Freerolls carries a £6,500 Prize Pool, comprised of a £4,000 Viva Las Vegas package for the winner, & £2,500 in cash prizes.
Total prizes on offer in MISSION LAS VEGAS are £26,000.
Please note Prio Players are NOT eligible to enter MISSION LAS VEGAS.
VIVA LAS VEGAS LEAGUES start tomorrow, Monday 6th March.
The landing page is HERE
There are separate Leagues for cash players, and SNG's.
The Leagues run for 4 separate weeks.
A £4,000 package will be awarded to each League Winner each week, for both Cash, & SNG's. So that's 8 x £4,000 Packages.
In addition, the top 99 in each League each week (top 100 excluding the winner) will get entry into a Freeroll the following week, which will have a maximum of 198 (2 x 99 max) runners.
Each of these 4 Freerolls carries a prize pool of £9,000, being a £4,000 Las Vegas package, & £5,000 in cash.
Total prize pools in Viva Las Vegas Leagues amount to £68,000 & includes 12 packages plus £20,000 in cash prizes.
So that's it for now, will add more news as & when. Please keep an eye on the Promotions Page, as there may be some other surprises in store along the way.
Any questions, fire away.
I notice there are only satellites to the £4000 package opened at the moment. Is this intentional? When will the £11,600 package sattys open?
PS - well done on qualifying for the semi-final at the first attempt.

Apologies Tommy, I confused you with Mr Bates.
There is a £60 Qtr Final for the £11,600 Viva Las Vegas package at 20.15 this evening (Monday). 2 seats are Guaranteed into this Sunday's Semi-Final.
Plenty of Micros feed into it all afternoon & early evening, at £6.60 or £13.20.
Viva Las Vegas, Baby.
A little VLV Blog is now up, HERE
The first Semi Final for the £4,000 package is this Saturday, & it has 10 seats Guaranteed to the first £4,000 Package on Sunday 2nd April. The 2nd April Final will send FIVE players to Las Vegas.
For this Sunday, 16 players are already qualified as follows:
Meanwhile, this Sunday is the first Semi Final for the £11,600 Package, & it guarantees FOUR x £1,260 seats into the Big Final on Sunday May 28th.
4 players have booked their seat for this Sunday so far;
Note, one player is already qualified for BOTH of those Semi Finals.
Come on boys, do keep up.
The last I heard the data was just being assembled.
I did consider Opting In, just to "test" how it all works, but decided against it in the end, in case folks got uppity with me. I play a fair few SNG's here, so I'd likely be on the Leaderboard somewhere, but it's probably best if I swerve it.
