The weekly tournament at Sunset Station which is the longest running weekly tournament in Las Vegas has been cancelled.The last tournament will be held Oct 28.It seems lack of side play doomed this tournament,as did Green Valley Ranch which went to bi-weekly. That will be cancelled also.Can't say i blame the casino it does cost money to run these events and players need to understand that.

More will quit as well
I have been saying it for years now, if the casinos are not making money they are going to stop hosting tournaments. They at least need to cover their cost, that is why I think they should charge a fee like poker tournaments.
I would rather bite the bullitt now for a little fee then to lose out on having no more tournaments. And by paying a flat fee up front 100% of the entries and reentries can go back out as prize money.
I have heard several players tell me they wouldn't play in a negitive EV tournament, if things keep on the way they're going they won't have to worry anymore about playing in them, they won't have any to play in, they will all be cancelled!
