No they don't. Only during their summer tourney series.

Aladdin runs them on Sundays, but that's it for SnG's in town now.

Pretty much everyone has your basic low buy in, fast structure tourneys during the weekdays except for the Mirage and Bellagio. Both are above 200 for buy ins, (check their websites for details) and have something like 30 minute blind levels.

I've played the Golden Nuggeta cuppla times pretty weak players which is good but it is not a very big tourney, 3-4 tables at best

The nugget one is fair at best. The size of the fields are quiet small. 40 players average. As for the other 2 that I mentioned, well the higher buy in tourneys will attract tougher crowds.

It's a $225 buyin with a $200 rebuy (if I remember correctly). It's my favorite because I've done so well at it. 2 final tables out of 5 tries. 1 8th place for roughly $1200, and one 1st place for $8047. The 8th place tournament was also the first NL tournament I ever played in Vegas (2 years ago). I couldn't believe my luck.

Don't quote me, but I believe it's 30 minute levels (slow, but not too slow), and with the rebuy it gives everyone enough chips to really get some "skilled" plays in. Usually the Thursday fields get pretty large (60+) and they typically pay the top 9.

Also, they hold $50 satellites before the tourney starts so that's an easy way to get in too (top 2 get the buyin).
