Strip Poker: Vegas the Hotspot for Summer Freerolls

Las Vegas is no doubt the hotspot for summer tournaments, as mentioned in a previous story (click here), but the poker rooms have not forgotten about cash game players, either, as many of them are offering up thousands of dollars in freerolls for hours played.

Tomorrow is the kickoff of the qualifying period for Caesars Palace’s $100,000 freeroll, which will give away eight World Series of Poker seats and $20,000 in cash prizes.

Caesars Palace -- (800) 634-6001

• Games offered regularly*: $3-$6 and $6-$12 limit hold’em; $1-$3, $2-$5, and $5-$10 no-limit hold’em

The following casinos both have qualifying periods that began in April, but there is still plenty of time for players to log in enough hours:

South Point -- (702) 797-8073

Players who don’t want to commit to a ton of hours could cash in on the weekly freerolls at Tuscany.

The Wynn poker room is also going to run a freeroll but has not yet announced the details. It is known that the qualifying period will be one month long and held in June or July. This will be a viable option for players who compete at higher-staked limit hold’em cash games than offered at the previously mentioned casinos. Here are the regular games that run at Wynn.

• No-limit hold’em: $1-$3, $2-$5, and $5-$10 
• Limit hold’em: $4-$8, $8-$16, $15-$30, and $30-$60
• Omaha eight-or-better: $10-$20
• Mixed: $10-$20 mixed
