    I still like Golden Nugget at 11am and quite honestly any tournament downtown is easy to play and much more fun. It's almost entirely filled withtourists and people who have no clue what they are doing, play their hands face up, or don't take the game/life all that seriously. I can't stand playing the daily at Venetian, ceasars, aria, wynn etc because those people have literally sucked the fun out of life and the game.

    About 10 years ago when the plaza had its old card room, their evening tourneys were fucking great.

    The Flamingo $60s are some of the lowest skill level poker that you will ever witness.

    Wynn has some good tourneys and have the lowest rake for the games above $100 also the Aria has two daily tourneys that get 100+ players so the prize pool gets pretty decent

    Get the Bravo poker app tells you whats is going on in most every poker room in Vegas for cash games and tourneys
    for under 100 dollar tournaments planet holly wood has a good one plus super soft cash games.

    Enjoy!

    I play maybe 1-2 daily tourneys a month when I have friends in town or just feel like doing something different.

    Downtown wise, I rarely play. Binions just closed there old poker room and opened a smaller one. It seems the GN gets the downturn tourney crowd now.

    The stratosphere still runs the old Sahara tourney. Daily at 11am, 7pm, and 11pm. $45 with an optional $20 add on. No antes. Tourney usually lasts 4-5 hours if you mske the FT.

    The Orleans has NL (and mix games tourneys) every week day at noon and at 7pm. I still think even today there Friday night tourney is the biggest bang for you buck. $125, good structure, but if you go deep, you're playing still at 5-6am. First place however is usually 7-8k though.

    Aria and V still have the monopoly the rest of the week on the $125 nightly buy in type tourneys. Not sure what numbers they get but on a recent week night, I strolled through the V poker room and they had 68 runners in there nightly.

    Places that were mentioned like Flamingo, Bally's etc probably have the most unskilled players but you most likely will be playing against 2 tables, maybe 3 on the weekends.

    The mirage has a bounty tourney on Friday and Saturday that I have played with Jeanne, Karina, Chip and other friends a few times. $100. 20 minute levels, and $25 for every player you knock out. It averages 30-40 people usually not counting those who re-enter, which you're allowed to do the first hour and 20 minutes.

    The biggest determination should be if you want to play in a small field, medium field or large field. Keep in mind all these things are raked heavily. At minimum 25% and as high as 30%. They almost always have some add on either included or optional that you have to take, and those funds go directly to the dealers. Something to consider if you cash and debate about what to tip.

    I guess if I was looking to get hammered I might do that. Shit, it would actually be a great way to go out and not have to talk to the person until the drinks hit you right. It's really a good plan honestly. Fuck being out sober. I don't even do anyone that disservice anymore. If you see me I be buzzin. If I don't look tipsy don't even try to talk to me.
