Although I am a cash game player who avoids tourneys, after reading about Caesers on this site, I gave their tournament a shot. It is as good as they say. Great value with the starting chips, and longer blind level structure. They drew about 94 entrants on a Monday at noon when I played. Now the bad news...as the second biggest table stack at level 4, I was happy to hear the biggest stack go all-in pre-flop after two early raises. As I'm looking at aces in the big blind, I quickly call. It became big stack vs. me all-in pre flop. His hooks didn't look too good until they made a set on the turn to crack my aces. #$$$$$g tournaments!!! I have zero comprehension how the Hellmuth's/Ferguson's of the world concentrate on tourneys and not cash games. I would do that tourney again though without question. The room is huge and looks sharp. Similar to the Mirage/Bellagio as it is near the sportsbook, but this room is much bigger than those two.

Bellagio is still Bellagio. Incredibly good cash action at any time, at any level. The management still sucks, and you will be lucky to get a snort, or sneer out of any of them when you arrive, but the action makes it worth your while. It's tough not to play there. Every time I play in Vegas I wind up here playing 2/5 against some of the very best and worst players you will ever see at one table all mixed together. GREAT action.

TI is a gem that apparently nobody knows about in Vegas. Great room with the best management I've seen. Until running into an Irish hitman, my bankroll was exploding from the 1/3 no-limit game here. The buy-in is capped at $500, but the people I saw all week had plenty of cash to re-buy. Also, if you are into low-limit tournaments, they have a $60 buy-in tourney that draws pretty well 3 times a day. I saw very few non-dealer regulars playing here which is both good and bad. Check this room out when you are in town!
