I'm headed to Vegas next month and I'd love to know where I can play in some smaller buy-in tournaments. By small I mean $50 or even less if they exist. Am I out of luck? Also, where can I find the smaller lower limit NL ring games? Thanks in advance.

I played in the Sahara tourney. It starts at 7pm. It was great and only about 60 bucks with the add on.

On a side note, David Williams' mom was at my table.

Go to your local poker room...get the latest copy of cardplayer magazine. there is a section that shows all the daily tournaments.

Mandalay has a $30 tourneyment at 10am every morning -- limited to 30 players. It fills every day, so get there early.

Kind of strange structure -- limit for the first hour, NL after that.

The Cannery has a $25 no re-buy 10am Saturday and Sunday.
Poker Palace has a $20 one re-buy one add-on 6pm Saturday through Wednesday.

MGM has a $65 freezeout Monday-Friday at 11am. Aladdin has 2 tourneys: I believe 10am and 1pm. Both are under $50. (Photo, Al Capone, help me out here...) I like the 1pm tournament: better structure. Stay away from Luxor, Orleans, Mandalay... Structures suck! (Limit first hour at Mandalay and Luxor, and the Orleans is a crazy rebuy tourney). Hope this helps.

Here's another site which seems to have real good information on this topic and easier to see all in one place than allvegaspoker.com.

The sahara tournament is my personal favorite, you get 3,500 chips for 62 bucks , 2k to starts and another 1500 with the add on, most chips you'll get anywhere in Vegas. Although it does become a craps shoot after the 2nd break i've consistently been able to make the final 2-3 tables 80% of the time. So the competition is pretty weak.

Most chips? Huh? Go play in the Aladdin 1pm Mon-Thurs tourney. 4k in chips with a single rebuy in the first hour.

No thanks photoc at least, the sahar has semi decent blind structures, the aladdin on the other hand is a pos.They have no respect for their customers no matter how much the tourny buy in. Hurrying along tournies because they want to get it over with for the next, in my mind is complete and utter bullshiet.

BTW the sahara tournament is everyday at 11 am,7pm and 11 pm.
