Depending on how early you get up/your jet lag you could register for WSOP early that same day (i.e. I came from east coast of US and registered at 6am LV time because I was already wide awake, line was very short).

Getting stuff posted on a website can actually be hard since its not the poker room controlling the website and it has to go through other departments. Hence why all these poker rooms use twitter and facebook.

Like I said, extra effort. Venues certainly don’t typically do TDs any favors.

Anyone know how long registration lasts for Golden Nugget $300 buy ins?

What event are you looking for ? Almost none of the GN buy ins are $300 ?

I guess it's technically a $340.

The Big O on June 8.

I am trying to find info on Poker Room Rates. I am considering a few options. Can anyone give me guidance as to how strict the rooms are in terms of hitting the required number of hours? Are there any current poker room rate charts/aggregators? I know some there were some sites in the past that had all the poker room rates listed.

In my experience at Wynn and Bellagio they weren’t super strict with validating you played 6 hours per day upon checkout. Bravo has info on poker room rates and contacts for some, otherwise contact poker rooms by email maybe.

Typically its after 4 hours of play or before the start of level 9. To the best of my knowledge the Nugget has not released the 2024 structures yet

You may have to grease a floor at Bellagio. The problem is, you won't know until you check out and get charged full price.

Also, some poker rooms only count cash game time, not tournament time.

I can't find stuctures sheets for Wynn, Orleans, Golden and Aria series. Somenone knows about it ?

Orleans is on their site as of Friday:

https://orleans.boydgaming.com/play/poker-room

Wynn has a placeholder file on their site:

https://www.wynnlasvegas.com/casino/poker

Nugget just has a schedule:

https://www.goldennugget.com/las-veg...no/poker-room/

Aria doesn't even mention a series on theirs:

https://aria.mgmresorts.com/en/casino/poker.html

It looks like some of the Orleans structures are on pokeratlas.com but not all.

I emailed Aria and they said it's 5 hours a day (a tournament counts as 5 hours). I was told it's a discount between 25 - 30% to the posted rate.

The Orleans schedule says it's for the 2024 Open, but it's not.

Nope - try this. Still no detail structures posted but probably the same as last years . https://www.pokeratlas.com/poker-tou...=Apply+Filters

10 days away from the Wynn festival, still no structures announced. Same for the nugget, aria and MGM. lol.

Wynn structures now posted

From the 400-1k buyins- which venue offers normally the best structures? Or is it always different and has to be looked at every tournament separately?

I usually look at the level length and starting stacks. 20-30 minute levels will play more like turbos. That's the typical level length for one day events. 40-60+ minute levels will play slower, more like a proper multi-day tournament. During most of the year, Wynn and Venetian offer great multi-day events in this price range. During the WSOP, it will be harder to find anything slow in that range. The WSOP itself has the best budget offerings (Colossus, Salute, Deep Stack Championship).

Every tournament is separate. Generally the WSOP and Venetian have the best structures, but not all of their tournaments at a buy-in have the exact same structures, so you need to check individually to make sure you aren't in one of the worse ones they offer.

Every year, after all the structures are out, I update the comparison page of my site and it should be helpful to you:

https://www.rainbowspuppiessunshine....c/analysis.php

It puts the NLH tournaments into price ranges then shows how each venue does on average with their tournaments. This lets you get a baseline of what you can expect and helps you avoid the worse ones. Right, now I'm switching over to 2024 data so that page has no information, but will in 2 weeks or whenever the remaining casinos release their structures. I am able to run the comparisons behind the scenes with the data I do have and this is what it looks like so far:

FYI, in case you are planning to play multiple events in the upcoming Wynn Summer Classic, Wynn/Encore does NOT offer a TBIC-type account for non-hotel guests. There are a small quantity of safeboxes at the poker room cage but unlikely to be available. Also, Wynn now charges non-guests for parking but will validate with tourney buy-in.

Just to tack on to plog's post, the formula is very straightforward with Venetian.

Their multi-day events always have 40 minute levels.

Anything with 30 minute levels is a one day tournament.

Wynn is more all over the place, so just check their schedule. If it lists two numbers, that's a split for day one/day two+.

Will the new Venetian poker tournament space be used for their summer series events this year?

I hadn't even considered that. This article (from February) suggests it will be.

Seeing as delays and complications are common in construction, I still wouldn't assume that the new space will be operational.
