Has anyone played in the Friday $1000 tournament at Bellagio? I'm going to be in Vegas from Thursday 'til Monday, and was thinking of giving it a whirl. I heard there's a single table satellite for $240 where the top 2 get a buy-in to the 1K tourney. If anyone has played in it I'd love to hear about it.

It's $250-270 with the final 2 getting a seat. Something else to remember. If you don't play the tourney and get in a cash game, make sure you ask if it's a tourney table. If it is ask to be moved to a non-tourney table before it starts.

I have played in that $1000.00 Tourney several times, it is great atmospher. you start 2000 in chips 30 min rounds, it averages @ 100-120 entries and pays 9 spots. Or if you get knock out early there the 7:00pm tourney @ Golden Nugget $230 buyin one rebuy and one add on 30 min rounds for $630 you get 6000 in chips which to me is great. The only thing I did not care for @Golden Nugget they play 7 tables 11 handed with Alternates, but it is super nice. I was there in Dec while the rodeo was in town I won it Friday night, and third on Sat. Either or I reccomend.

The Bellagio $1K tourney starts you off with 3000 in chips and 40 mins rounds.The Bellagio $500 starts you off with 2000 in chips.
