WPT Mirage Classic, online satellites for early tourneys?

Going to Vegas next week, staying ay Treasure Island. Had planned on playing cards at Mirage, not knowing the WPT Mirage Classic starts the day I arrive (May 9th). The week I am there are the smaller events, $1000 and $1500 buy-ins. Does anyone know if any online sites are running satellites for these tourneys? Might try to win a seat since I'll be there anyways.

If you'll be at TI and want to satellite into these tournaments, Mirage is holding one table satellites 24 hours 7 days a week and started May 2nd. There are 6 different one-table satellites and also every night at 7:00 p.m. they hold a $500.00 rebuy satellite into the main event.

If you play a $120.00 one-table, 1st and 2nd place both get a 500.00 tournament chip (good for any of the Mirage tournaments) and $50.00. I don't have the payout structure for all one the one-tables in front of me, but that is the general idea.

Also, if you want to strictly play tournaments and are here all week, you can shoot over at the Bellagio. The Bellagio holds $500.00 tournaments daily and a $1k tournament on Fridays.

I don't get there till the 9th. All they have by then is the $500 rebuy events I believe. No way in hell I'm doing a $500 rebuy event. That's why I was hoping there was something I could do online this week to win a seat in next week's events. Doesn't look good.
