Default SNGs in Vegas?

I have heard that the Aladdin is doing SNGs on Sundays. Can anyone confirm this? What are the stakes?

Yes, $50 buy in + $5 entry fee. Top 2 places pay. Sign up at the podium and as soon as 10 players are signed up, they run one. We've had huge turnouts for this over the past 2 sundays. It's the only place in Vegas doing this.

How long do they usually last? (turbo style?)

15 minute blind lvls. Start with T1000 and 25/50 blinds, double every 15 minutes. 1 hour is about the longest they are lasting which is only 200/400. Agressiveness pays off in these. I dealt one and watched another one and it's all, check/call massive bets and lose with bottom pair type of play. When it gets 3 handed or less, these people are folding all but pocket Aces. You can steal like crazy. I dealt to a guy that folded AK suited face up because he might not make the money when there were 3 people left.

Are these only running on weekends, or are they going during the week as well?

So if you drop a small amount early (100-300), its push or fold after 30 minutes, right?

Take it as you wish. You play your game. I don't know what to tell you about how to bet, I just deal them.

If you are good short handed or short stacked, this is a good way to make some easy money.
