Re: best downtown vegas tourneys?
When I was down there Binion's had a great one. After rebuy and stuff it was like 100 buy in maybe, but the structure was great. The blind levels were 30 min. and blinds were at 25/25 and had antes later on instead of the usual doubling of the blinds.
Great tourney for the money. Don't know if they still have it or not, it was a few months ago. |

I believe that Plaza, Binions and Golden Nugget are the only three downtown to have tournaments. Binions has 10am, 2pm, and 8pm tournaments. Plaza has multiple tournaments daily. I played one and if I remember correctly it was 30 minute levels. With rebuys it came to like $100 or so. Only problem I had was there were several loose aggressive players and I was not catching any hands at all, with not enough chips to attempt much of a move. |

Re: best downtown vegas tourneys?
30 minute levels sounds not too bad. I saw somewhere that the juice on the binions was pretty bad, particularly because 2% of the prize pool is held back for a TOC for monthly 1st place finishers prize pool (which won't do me any good). GN's look a little high entry for me (they all seem to be rebuy), so I guess it will be the plaza. May try to enter one GN one just to play there and check it out.
I'm staying at the plaza anyway. I'll post a wrap up here for anyone elese intersted. |

Re: best downtown vegas tourneys?
What are the buy-ins for the Binions tourneys? Are they all rebuy tourneys?
