The buy-in is $125 with $100 going towards the prize pool, $10 to the dealers and $15 for the organization. The first buy-in will get players $1,000 in tournament chips. Rebuys will be available for $20 for an additional $1,000 in chips for the first hour. All rebuys will be donated. The doors open at 9 a.m. and a maximum of 200 players will be allowed to play.
There will also be a silent auction for prizes, such as a trip for two to the Grand Canyon, a three-night stay at any Harrah's property hotel, and $7,000 worth of Las Vegas show tickets.
The Sign Design Theatre Company was founded in 1986 and now has more than 40 members, ranging in age from five to 18. Its members learn sign language and use it in the performance of choreographed musical numbers and even full length musical plays. The act has been seen all over the Las Vegas valley and in California, Florida, and Colorado.
