home of the deep stack extravaganza the venetian is one of the premier
tournament poker rooms to visit on your trip this summer over 30 million dollars
in guarantees during the summer is deep sack extravaganza which will be held at
the Sands Convention Center to give more room for players no need for alternates
always remember to pick up your $10 food con at the front desk for every
tournament you play that's $400 or more this comp can be used at Grand Lux or
tableside dining parking is free at Venetian gamble responsibly the Amazon
room as you've never seen it before completely barren no tables no chairs no
chips shuffling no dealers no disappointment no hope no break the calm
before the storm at the Rio the Rio all suites Casino and hotel is home of the
49th annual World Series of Poker over 70 bracelet events this year a few
online and mostly right here in the convention center which I just showed
you of course it's empty now will soon be filled with hundreds and hundreds of
tables hundreds of dealers and thousands of players many great events to play I
highly recommend you play the weekend themed ones the bigger the field the
softer so the Billie maker the giant the 888 Crazy Eights 8 max
little one for one drop anything with a theme to it is gonna get thousands of
people million dollar prize pools and some of the softest competition compared
to say a Tuesday vanilla 1500 event most events will be at ten percent rate with
the exception of the daily deep sacks which are closer to 20 percent rake but
don't count amount for two hundred or two hundred and fifty dollars you're
still gonna be looking at a first-place prize of around fifty thousand dollars
huge fields used over a thousand people in these events every day
so although the Rio might not be the most luxurious place to play it
definitely gets the biggest field sizes and softest competition based upon the
World Series of Poker brand this brand is known worldwide and brings players
from all across the country and Europe to the Rio to play for weeks at a time
sometimes they'll just play an event or two and usually those events are gonna
be the special events like I said the class is the millionaire maker the
monster stack little one for one drop Crazy Eights these are the events that
you want to play the Rio is definitely in the top three poker rooms in Las
Vegas in terms of tournaments not cash games behind me is the cash game section
not very impressive but once you see the tournaments in full swing
it's quite the experience of course the Rio has a variety of restaurants to
choose from they have a buffet cage a Chinese restaurant is very good I highly
recommend along with voodoo steakhouse at all of these restaurants if you have
a player's card in a local ID your whole party will get 25% off their bill
believe this still is in fact before the buffet
and the sports deli and the all-american grill
so find a local get 25% off all-american Dave's is a great food option it is very
pricey but food delivered to your table from an attractive female is sometimes
worth it it's very healthy average meal price is around $25 which people will
say is way too expensive but if you're playing $1000 tournament you have to
really weigh the pros first the cons there are other food options at the Rio
our faux in Hash House a Go Go
eat well play well good luck guys
with 28 tables in the cash game area the big difference at Wynn versus Bellagio
or Venetian is the space between the tables
no one's ever knocking your bag over kick in the back your chair cocktail
servers and spilling drinks on you they know customers care about luxury they
know they care about your personal space that's why I'm most comfortable playing
at the wind I wish this was a paid ad but it's not
they won't sponsor me but that doesn't stop me from coming back here every year
the tournaments are excellent with the big blind ante structure the only casino
in town that's invoking the only big blind ante structure if you're scared of
change I understand play a few big blind ante tournaments and you'll see the big
difference more hands per hour no small chips and play wasting people's time no
need to make change for antes dealers are saving their backs their longevity
and general happiness is going to be it's much higher playing these
tournaments in dealing these tournaments if you want action you want great
service come to the wind poker room it's actually located at the Encore don't get
it twisted you can still park at the wind garage I
recommend the second level walk right over the bridge into the encore poker
room a very short walk some places like Planet Hollywood have a miracle mile
walk to get to and from the poker room it sucks to have to do it on the way to
the poker room but it hurts even more after you lose I call that the walk of
shame at the wind slash on four there is no walk of shame you feel good about
losing you feel great about winning here we are in the wind high-limit section
this is where you're gonna find your 510 no limit to 5 and up PLO games I'm here
to talk about tournaments today tournaments you want to play during the
summer like I said your options are the Rio the Venetian of my personal favorite
is at the wind for a variety of reasons I find the wind to be the most luxurious
of all casinos the dealers in the floor are of the most up moves professionalism
they know the drill there's no gray areas there is some margin of error if
they you know they can rule based on intent they don't want to have anybody
have a bad experience the customer service is bar none I give it a 10 out
of 10 you think at a luxury property like this you'd be very expensive to
play but that's not true during the summer they have events ranging from 500
to $1500 very reasonable biomes and the rake is the lowest of a ball with all
Las Vegas I don't know how it's possible they just really love their customers
they want you to play here check out the win and their big blind ante structure
this year if it's cash game action that you're craving and you don't want to
play some short stacks hate short stacks come to the win at the 1 3 no limit
games you can buy in for 500 at the 2 5 No Limit games you can buy in for 1500
that's 300 big blinds just to start you can play much much deeper as the night
goes on and of course at 5:10 no limit there's no max that's right you can sit
down with 100k and gamble it up if you want to play with the whales the whales
buy in deep you want to get the whales money you got to be deep to only at the
wind / encore poker room make sure you check it out today Vegas has enacted a
paid parking premium at most major casinos don't let this be a deterrent
when you come and play at the Wynn / encore if you play cash games or
tournaments your parking will be validated if you just ask a floor man
they don't want you to not play here because you're afraid of paying $10 for
parking it's free as long as you play poker park at the Wynn
walk right over the bridge on the second level and you're right at the poker room
as a bonus the Encore Beach Club is right by the poker room
we have beautiful ladies in hundred degree weather wearing bikinis walking
by us all day it might be distracting for your
tournament game but when you're busy folding you need some eye candy to look
at there's no shortage at the Encore and that concludes my top 3 tournament
venues for this summer there are five other casinos with great schedules out
they are the Aria the Orleans Binion's Golden Nugget and Planet Hollywood in
