I'm off to Vegas tomorrow...what are the best MTTs to hit while there

Hey guys...which of these tourneys should I hit while I'm in Vegas? I'm only bringing about $2200 as a bankroll.

SUNDAY

I left off some tourneys, such as the Luxor tournaments (I hate that casino for several reasons, but I watched a friend of mine play in a tourney last year with like a $5 rake on a $25 buy-in...ludicrous)...but I also forgot some so feel free to weigh in with other suggestions. I don't know if the new Wynn casino is spreading any tourneys.

I get in at 9pm tomorrow night and I'm leaving around 5:30pm on Sunday.

Thanks!

I don't know about 'best', as I'm not that much of an LV regular, but I like the daily's at Sahara. IIRC, the buyin is $50 and there's one rebuy/addon. Also, I thought the daily's at IP were extremely soft (softest I have ever played).

PS - Forgot to mention - also check the B&M forum, as there will be lots of good info.

The Mirage tourney isn't taking place during the "Mirage Poker Showdown" so scratch that from your list, but there is a $1500+70 NL event there on Friday.

There is a daily 2pm at binions, something like $70 and $40 gets you an add on of 1/2 the starting chips, 1 rebuy. Usually low 100 people and 30 are gone in a blink of an eye.

i'd recommend the evening binion's one on friday and sunday, the juice is insane, but for $200 ($125+$25+$50) you get 3,500 chips and the 25 minutes levels go from 25-50, 50-100, 75-150, 100-200, 100-200/25, etc).

saturday's evening tourney at the orleans is also a good one -- basically $230 (incl the rebuy) gets you $2500 (i think) and the blinds start at 25-25.

you might also want to take a shot at a sat for one of the bellagio tourneys (sats are $130 or $240 and pay two places depending if its a $540 or $1060 tourney).
