Default FIRST TIME GOING TO VEGAS WHAT CAN I PLAY FOR CHEAP FUN

I consider myself to be an excellent holdem player shorthanded. Haven't played 10 handed in I'd say a year now. I am going to vegas dec.14-18 and don't want to get handed my ass there. I'm taking 700+. Is there any very cheap tournaments I can enter...I DON'T WANT any rebuy crap..im not looking to invest 200+ in a tourney. Also on a side tangent..should I go into a 10 handed holdem game of 3-6 or try my luck at a 2 deck bj shoe at binions or I hear theres a one deck shoe at caesears with diff rules? Any info on which would be cheaper thanks?

Mandalay Bay and Luxor have 30-max (or 29-max) tourneys with no rebuys every weekday. Mandalay Bay's tourney starts at 10:00am. Luxor starts at noon.

How much does it cost to enter these tourneys? Also is luxor in the old strip or new strip? I assume mandalay is in the new strip?

Buyins are around 30 bucks. Check cardplayer.com for the tourney trail. Both Mandalay and the Luxor are way south on the strip. Mandalay is the furthest south.

But then there is no pun. Who would Jason be? Why is he kidding? Vorhees wasn't much of a joker. Are there any other famous Jasons? Why do I spend so much time thinking about these things?

Palms and Binions has a $2-$4 hodem game. I watched the one at Binions for a while why I was waiting for the $10-$20 to make. These might be good games with minimal risk to try out. From what I saw a trained monkey could beat these games.
