We’ll have to see the details when the structure sheets are posted, but still, from the schedule, it appears to be much better.
Anyhow, the big guarantees are nice, but Wynn is pretty much the only non-WSOP venue in town which has the space to offer a bunch of $1MM+ guarantees. I would rather they lower some of the guaranteed a bit and offer better events.
I agree with you but for different reasons.
Most players goes to Las Vegas mainly to play in WSOP.
When they ( me too) makes plan for WSOP Las Vegas they are not thinking oh I will play $1000-$2000 tournament at other casinos.
Most of them are first timers and looking forward to have WSOP experience with little or tight budget.
WSOP offers many tournaments between 200-to $600 daily. And many sIngle table tournaments ($60 - $500)
Why would someone will go to any other casinos if they aren't offering something reasonable.
Most of the WYNN tournaments are $1000 or higher. I wouldn't go there.
Most players will have 1 day or max 2 day gap between 2 WSOP events they have in their plans.
If I am knocked out from a WSOP event, I have plans for other WSOP events or WSOP dailies.
If I want to go out to other casinos, I will be looking for 1 day tourney between $100 to $400 ( or reasonable price to afford their budget $.) I remember playing many 1 day tournaments at Sahara.($85 or something).
I am not looking for a $1000-$1600 tournament.( That’s my highest buy-ins tournaments planned at WSOP)
I think other casinos doesn't realize that the players coming to them not because of their brand ,but availability of players time from WSOP.
