    So, not Dublin then. B)

    Is it JUST for qualifiers, or will locals/friends or family be able to buy in?
    Apologies if in T's & C's, but 1st day of month and busy at work...ish.

    You have to QUALIFY to take part in SPT Las Vegas.

    However, the package for qualifiers includes a room for 2 people for a week at the Palazzo, so qualifiers can bring a guest if they wish.

    The Guests cannot play the event though, that will be limited to the 50 qualifiers, & nobody else can play it, it is a closed "qualifiers only" event.

    Makes sense, thank you for reply.

    Is it just a one dayer then?
    Will there be any sats/draws for any other Vegas events?

    Yes, a 1 day event.

    No, there will not be any Satellites, Draws or Promos for any other events, just SPT Las Vegas.

    Mad skills. I was slightly torn between aiming/not aiming for priority this month but this has swayed me. Good stuff.

    You said there are 50 seats for this event so does that mean there will be a capped number of seats at each final satellite?
    If so do you know what the cap is and I’m guessing the cash will be stacked on top of seats after the cap is reached ?

    Is 5 per final and 3 finals.

    5 guaranteed but what if it goes over ?

    @Tikay10 will know for sure but previous Vegas ones have been capped at 59.

    FWIW - the Road to Manchester Semi-Final MTT on 11th March, with 5 seats GTD, is capped at 59.

    I think this might be the best promotion by Sky in a long, long time. Keeps the prize money in the Sky Poker community and a week long stay allows for plenty of other events to be played by the qualifiers too. Well done.

    It's always been the case in the past that they are capped if necessary. Hopefully it WILL be necessary.

    Anyway, I'll find out for sure & get back to you tomorrow. Plenty of time, the first Final is a month away yet.

    Nice to have something to aim for in the summer although the dates are going to be very snug for me in relation to the holidays. Do we know the date for the tourney in Vegas yet?

    Not a stupid question, @bert21

    You will see the same phrase on (almost) all Promotions these days, including all the Vegas promos, Happy Days, pretty much every promo.

    It's a legal/Compliance/Regulatory thing.

    Basically, it just means it's not free, you have to pay to take place.

    There are a whole raft of these sort of phrases attached to every promo these days. Every site should be including the same things these days, not all sites do, but SB&G are always squeaky clean with Regulatory and Compliance stuff.

    There's no arguing with the Compliance peeps these days, it's a legal minefield.

    Nothing you need to be concerned about though, and a good question.

    Disappointing they are not running sats for packages for main and the other tournament like they use to do?

    Funny, I was about to post on here this seems like a fantastic idea by Sky and how I would much rather be trying to satty into a Sky only style tournament in Vegas than just the regular WSOP tournaments. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Lots of different avenues to gain a passage compared to previous years too. Well done Sky

    Can see why this would replace the millymaker sats-would be great if there was still a wsop Main satellite
