For those with fond memories of ye olde online poker days of Step Tournaments (made popular by PokerStars and Full Tilt), the first land-based casino we know of in Las Vegas is now offering its own version.

 

Tropicana Las Vegas is trying out Step poker tournaments, where for a small amount of money, you can keep advancing as you win, ultimately ending at a $10,000 prize (which is conveniently the cost of a World Series of Poker Main Event seat).  Along the way, if you don’t win but place, you’ll receive a tournament ticket to a lower Step.
