Didn't realise how much smoke would bother me until I got stuck into a long session at the Venetian in Macau. Wow - never again!
Also, would the $230 events be $200+30 or something else as alluded to earlier? - Badugi / 2-7 TD looks like great fun...

I've played there the last 2 years.
Golden Nugget's MTTs are run in the Event Center (it's the same room that filmed some seasons of High Stakes Poker, but they have movable walls to make the space smaller). It is a good distance away from the parking garage in case you're running late.
Noon non-NLHE MTTs are on the left side (when entering the conference center), while the NLHE MTTs are on the right side. Late registration has historically been 2 hours.
Smoking isn't permitted in the event center/tournament area. But, the open space immediately outside allows smoking. Generally, tournament players just smoke immediately outside the event area (which sucks).
If you exit left from the event center, you can get outside (onto Fremont street) to fresh air and some attractions.
