Cheap Poker Tournaments In Vegas
Table Of Contents
Allvegaspoker is your friend, but the luxor and flamingo both have very cheap daily tournaments with plenty of action. But be warned, if you are at all skilled you will likely lose some infuriating hands as the players here know nothing and have no logic behind their play. You've gotten some good advice here. I've been researching this same topic for the past month and have seen/been told time and again that Planet Holleywood & Treasure Island offer the best 'cheap' tournaments (both are around $50, I believe) based on blind structures and starting chip counts. Apparently you can actually play POKER for three or four levels at these places before the shovefest.

From March 3-22, the Wynn Las Vegas will play host to its Spring Classic, a series that’ll feature 16 events with over $2.5 million in guaranteed prize pools.
That includes a pair of $1 million guaranteed tournaments. The first will the $3,500 buy-in, $1M GTD Championship, which will start players with 40,000 in chips and play 60-minute levels. That tournament, which will be live reported by PokerNews, features two starting flights with Day 1a at Noon on Friday, March 12, and Day 1b taking place on Saturday, March 13 at the same time. Day 2 will play out that Sunday, March 14, while the final table will take place on Monday, March 15.
The other seven-figure guaranteed prize pool tournament, which has a $1,600 buy-in, will take place the following weekend. Players will start with 30,000 in chips and play 60-minute levels. There will be three starting flights at Noon each day Thursday-Saturday, March 18-20. Day 2 will take place on Sunday, March 21 with the Day 3 finale on Monday, March 22.
In 2020, the Wynn Spring Classic $1,600 buy-in, $1 million GTD drew 687 runners and saw Kevin Buck prevail to the tune of $166,837 after a heads-up deal with Justin Bond.
In addition, there will be a $600 buy-in, $250,000 GTD Kickoff Event starting on Thursday, March 4, a $10,500 High Roller on Thursday, March 11, and a trio of Survivor tournaments. Trophies will be given away for all events (except for survivors and satellites).
For the High Roller, the $500 entry fee will be fee waived for players who register early, so if you’re interested and want to save some money, just sign up in advance. You can also get in on the cheap as the night before (Wednesday, March 10 at 6 p.m.) there will be a $1,025+$75 Super Satellite into the High Roller.
