I am iterested in participating in a blackjack tournament, this one LVH 100K Suited Blackjack Tournament which according to this site takes place on march 15th at the las vegas hilton. DO I contact the hotel direclty? I never been in a tournament so I need to know what to expect if I do go so someone please enlighten me?
also many listing say entry fee dependant on historical casino play. What does that mean?

Thanks

Hilton

By the way, I have never played in one of these Hilton tournaments. I just assumed that the bet had to be $25 or higher. Could be that it has to be exactly $25. You should contact the casino and get the official rules. I have no idea when they cutoff their suited blackjack offer for the tournament dates.

Just in general you should get a winning suited blackjack about every 85 hands. I would imagine over a 2 hour span you should have about a 50% shot of a suited BJ, but it could happen in one hand or many hours.

Unless it has changed recently, it's a minimum bet of $10.00 (not $25)

The $25 is what is on their web page.

Also I said above that 2 hours should give you about a 50% chance of a suited BJ. I was thinking of the number of hands per hour at an Indian casino that charges and ante to play (you play 40-50 hands and hour). The Vegas casinos will play more hands than this. I would imagine the mean for a suited BJ is around 1 1/4 hours for the Hilton.

There may be other changes coming at this venue as "Hilton" is pulling out. As of January 3rd the LVH stands for Las Vegas Hotel.

100K LVH BJ Tournament

LeftNut,

I'm sure if you have the contractual certificate stating you qualified for the March 100K BJ tournament it will be honored, although the LVH may be under receivership by March so be sure your airfare when purchased is refundable.

I'll be calling in tomorrow to see what i can do to get in...rather not come in 2 days before to earn an entry. If I need to pop in for a 24 hour playing session, I may do that if I can find flights.

This is the year I want to get back into the tourney circuit...just need to figure out the funding from San Josey vs. San Diego....
