I frequently hear tourists at poker tables asking dealers and locals where to find tournaments at a certain time of day, or of a certain length, or in a specified buy-in range. There is, of course, the comprehensive database maintained at AllVegasPoker.com, here. But it's a daunting list--bewildering for having so many options from which to choose.
Yesterday I picked up the September issue of Ante Up magazine, and found that Michael Hamai's column points to some specific suggestions based on buy-in and game type, which I think will be helpful in narrowing down the long list of possibilities for out-of-town visitors. You can read it online, though it's a little awkward, requiring either Flash or a PDF download. See here, page 32.

There is also a iPhone app that is a Las Vegas poker tournament finder. You can search by buy-in, starting time, starting chips, location of casino, and if the tournament has a re-buy or add-on. I think it works pretty well. It is called suprisingly enough "Vegas Poker Tournament Finder."
a bit off topic, but do you collect $1 chips? I am dealing with some family business in San Jose, and just stopped off at Bay 101. I picked up two different $1 chips if you were interested
I do collect $1 chips if I come across new ones, but that doesn't happen often, because casinos don't issue many commemorative $1 chips. They make more money on $5. Chips from places I haven't personally been are only of mild interest to me. It kind of feels like cheating not to pick them up in person.
so i guess that means you don't want them, well if you change your mind I will still have them for you until about 9am tomorrow morning
I appreciate the thought, but put them into the pot on an all-in, quadruple up, and turn them into $8!
