Hi Bill, i planned the trip so that i would be there during the touranment knowing that the few remaining casinos with strikes would release some $200's, i just hope i can get in quick enough. I missed out at the 2008 QQQQ's tournament by 1 person. This time i will collect the 20 x $10's before release if i can get on a machine. Do you know if the palms will release a $200 during tournament time? Thanks heaps for all the help. I look forward to meeting many Strike collectors while in Vegas, all of my previous trips i have just sat back and watched, this time i will get involved.
