"Vegas, Baby!"

“Vegas, Baby!”

Little Poker League

Text Box: During the “Vegas, Baby!” series, we will again be playing for a Tournament Entry Chip! TEC’s will be awarded in the Final Tournament at the end of each session and those players will compete in December, TEC rules will remain the same as last series. The TEC cannot be traded, sold, transferred or given away. If a TEC holder cannot make the Main Event “Vegas, Baby!” the seat becomes dead. A player can turn the TEC back into the Little Poker League and that chip will be put back into play, time permitting. Players winning multiple TEC’s will have $5,000 added to their starting stack, for every additional TEC won. The majority of the TEC’s will be awarded in the Final Tournament at the end of the session; as always, additional TEC’s can be picked up through promotional tournaments such as Mystery Night, Sit-N-Go Shark, Traveling TEC Treasure Chest or TEC Night. (TEC Nights include any additional promotional tournaments

Text Box: The goal of the “Vegas, Baby!” series is simple. This series, instead of one grand prize winner, we will be splitting the prize pool and sending a party to Vegas with a pocket full of cash for the weekend... Vegas, Baby! The 100 players that win a TEC will compete in the Main Event tournament in December. The top four winners will receive $1,000 cash immediately after the tournament to spend as they wish or they can choose the “Vegas, Baby!” package! The winners that choose “Vegas, Baby!” package will receive $750 immediately after the tournament and in January you’ll get a souvenir “Vegas, Baby!” travel tee-shirt and a trip to Vegas! The full package has not been finalized yet, but here’s a taste of what you’ll receive: The party begins January 22nd, Friday afternoon, when you meet your Little Poker League guide at the Fargo airport. The plane leaves at 7:05pm and arrives in Las Vegas at 8:15pm. Everyone will receive complimentary airline tickets and when you arrive in Las Vegas a limousine will be waiting to pick you up from the airport and transport you to the hotel. Friday The party will split $1,200 in casino chips. The group can choose to play one large tournament, several smaller tournaments, or just play the live tables! Saturday a limousine will chauffer the party around from club to club - showing you the sites in Sin City. Each winner will receive dinner on us, at the fabulous Village Seafood Buffet at the Rio. Sunday Spend the day lounging by the pool or play at the tables - it’s up to you, then tickets to a show (it’s too early to determine what will be playing). Monday Leave Vegas at 1:30pm on a flight back to the frigid Minnesota weather. (all good things must come to an end...) As of July 12th (the end of the first session) the Little Poker League plans on sending a minimum of FOUR players. The Little Poker League plans to expand and add to the prize pool as the league grows! Check back and watch the package as we create the “Vegas, Baby!” experience for you. Any player, who does not win, can buy in to the “Vegas, Baby!” package and enjoy this fun filled adventure with the group (at no expense to the league).
