tournaments at Binions Horseshoe, Imperial Palace
 

I'm looking to play in a couple low buy in tourneys while in Vegas next week.

I want to play in three total tourneys, one Sunday early afternoon, one Saturday early afternoon and one Saturday evening. I don't want to spend more than $300 - $400 total if I don't cash in any of them.

After reading the stuff at allvegaspoker.com, it seems to me that the best tourneys for my game (I like to start with a big chip stack and slowly rising blinds) might be at Imperial Palace for the Sunday 1pm tourney and Binions 2pm Saturday, and maybe the Saturday 8pm Binions.

Any opinions of the quality of competition and the structures of these games?

Any other suggestions for tournaments on Sunday afternoon and Saturday afternoon and evening (low buy in tourneys)?

I placed in that Sun. Imperial Palace tourney first time I played it -

It's pretty soft - last time though the prize pool was flatter then others I've seen, but then they paid 10 players for a 60 player tourney.

The word on the street is that the Imperial Palace tourneys are very soft -- just like the cash games.

I played in an IP midnight rebuy tourney. It was pretty much a crapshoot. I was the button on the first hand. We played 11 or 12 handed on their monstrous homemade tables, and the blinds went up before they got around to me. I rebought once and added on, but everyone was short-stacked pretty fast. It was over around 3:30, when the three remaining players (myself, a Mandalay dealer, and a kid whining about having to get up to go to work at Home Depot or something at 6 am) each had 40K in chips with the blinds at 5K/10K. Bottom line, many Vegas tourneys are crapshoots.

Is there anyplace that has a list of all the tournaments going on this weekend (May 20-22)?
