Competing with the tail end of the Caesars Winter Poker Classic, the Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza is running now through Feb. 24.
Four times a year, this tournament is one of the best in Las Vegas. We think it's second to the World Series of Poker, in terms of the players it draws, the types of tournaments, the structure, and just how well run the whole thing is.
Events range from $220 super satellites to $340-$550 buy-ins to no-limit hold'em, to the $5,000 main event beginning Feb. 20.

But -- did you know that Venetian also offers a poker room rate at their hotel? You can stay in the all-suite hotel for $129 (Sunday-Thursday) and $179 (Friday-Saturday) if you play 6 hours of live poker per day. Just get your Grazie card (it's free at the player's club) swiped at your table, and the night before you checkout, see the manager to have your discounted rate applied. Note you have to book and pay the regular rate (must be a regular rate of $400 or less per night).
