I played the Caesars mid week 1pm $110 buyin. these also have a $5k gtee. a few times.
Overlay was for real. Only 25 players, I came in numbe 6. and second time 35 players, I came in 8.
Was definitely worth a couple of bucks.
I am with you about the rebuys. That seems to constantly change.
I played at the Aria a few times. 100 plus 25. I know that the $25 is high.
Levels are 30 minutes, $10k chips. No gtee, but the smallest field was 70 players.
A lot of out of towners mixed with locals. They print out a list of the winners from the previuos days tourny, and where they are from. The few times I looked, the winners were from very diverse locations,
not the concentration of locals I expected.
I played the Venetian 7pm once. That game had a different feel to it. More intense. The Aria games that I played were friendlier. Obviously a limited sample here, but these are all good rooms.
I did play at the Wynn once. I would like to play there again, but the daily tourneys were very small
the few times I was there. Once I made it to the final table out of 35 players. I had the definite feeling that a group of young players at that table knew each other a little too well. BTW, they were locals and talked openly about being "pros".
