Las Vegas weekly hold 'em tourneys. Which ones are best?

I'm only there a couple days but I'll definitely give the Orleans a try.

there are lots of regular tourneys on the strip.

10 AM daily is Mandalay bay is $30, max 3 tables, so it only takes about 1-2 hours. And then right after that u can walk over to luxor next door for their daily Noon $25 tourney, also limited to 3 tables i believe.

In the evening there are usually as many as 4-5 different tourneys going on in different places on any given night.

The best choices here are the orleans, which usually start at 7 pm. They are anywhere from 35 to 60 dollars, with anywhere from 80 to 120 entrants, and these tourneys are very well run IMO.....they also feature bounties.

The other is the nightly mirage tourneys (all week except fri and sat i believe). these buyins are either 60 or 100, with some rebuy and addons. there are ususally about 45-65 entrants, but if you make it into money it is definitely worth it.

Good Luck.

BTW, i only go to vegas once a year, and last year i won the $100 No limit mirage tourney the first time i entered. Walked away with over $4100.....great night.

Heading out next week for a couple days, hopefully will have time to check out both the Orleans tourney and the Mirage. Thanks again.
