Let’s begin by having a look at the three different ways you could win yourself the trip of a lifetime to the neon-lit poker players paradise of Las Vegas thanks to Sky Poker’s Viva Las Vegas promotions.  There’s three different promotions you can play through on the site depending on the type of poker you enjoy and whatever feel offers you the best chance to earn one of the top prizes.

Sky Poker’s Three Las Vegas Themed Promotions

How would you like the chance to win one of two different packages for the trip of a lifetime to Las Vegas? Well Sky Poker is offering its players the chance to win a £11,600 Main Package, or a £4,000 Side Package to the famous Nevada city thanks to its trio of Viva Las Vegas promotions.

Before we look at those promotions in more detail, let’s learn a little about what is available to be won in each of the prize packages.

If you manage to win one of the £11,600 Main Packages then you will win all of the following:

• A $10,000 buy in to a No Limits Hold’Em tournament taking place on Saturday 8^th
• Ten Nights accommodation at the five star hotel The Palazzo, situated right on the Las Vegas Strip running from the 7^th July until the 17^th July 2017.
• £1,000 credited to your bank account to use for booking flights or travel.
• Entry to a special Sky Poker Welcome Party
• Access to the Sky Poker Hospitality Suite where food and drink are available at selected times
• Dinner with all the other Las Vegas qualifiers
• A top Golf experience
• A bus tour of Las Vegas
• Entry to the Departure Party on the penultimate night of your stay.

The prizes available for the £4,000 Side Package are identical apart from the following changes:

• A buy in worth $1,111 to a NLHE tournament taking place Tuesday 11^th July (not the $10,000 buy in event)
• Seven (not ten) Nights Stay at the five star The Palazzo Hotel on Las Vegas Strip
• Package Dates run from 10^th until the 17^th July 2017.

So how can you win one of the above packages? Let’s take a look at the three different ways you can try to do so at Sky Poker.

• Viva Las Vegas Satellites

On Sunday 2^nd April, 30^th April and 28^th May at 8.45pm Sky Vegas will hold a Vegas Side Final, which offers players the chance to win one of five £4,000 Side Packages available in each Side Final event.

You can pay the £400 entry plus £35 buy in for this event to qualify, or if you prefer you can try and play your way in through the series of Satellites that allow you to play through to a seat at one of the three Side Final events. Buy in’s cost as little as £2.25 if you play in the Vegas Side Micro.

Alternatively, you could try and earn a seat at the Vegas Main Final which takes place on Sunday 28^th May at 7.45pm and which offers a total of five £11,600 packages for the top five players. It’s a £1,260 buy in direct to this final but of course, there are a number of satellites you can play in to earn a place at the tables for this big event.

Satellites for this big money event start at £6.60 and the structure of the Satellites is the same as that for the Vegas Side event.

• Viva Las Vegas Leagues

From the 6^th March through until the 9^th April, Sky Poker is offering players a chance to win four £4,000 Side Package prizes by winning a Cash Game League and another four £4,000 Side Packages by winning a Sit & Go League.

Both these leagues will see players rewarded for their play at the Cash Tables and also on the Sit & Go tables respectively. All you need to do to move up the league table is to collect Sky Poker Points from playing in these games on the site and at the end of each qualifying week the players that are top of the Cash Table and the Sit & Go Table will win a package prize apiece.

However that is not all as every week the players finishing 2^nd to 100^th in each league table will be entered into a Second Chance Freeroll event. The player that wins that freeroll event will also win a package too.

• Mission Las Vegas

Every Saturday from Saturday 18^th March through to Saturday 8^th April, Sky Poker will run a Mission Las Vegas freeroll event which will offer one £4,000 Side Package to Las Vegas as a top
prize. To qualify for a freeroll, you can select from one of three missions to complete in a qualifying week.

The missions you can select from are as follows:

• Mission 1 – Earn 10 Poker points in at least 3 days out of 7. (Starting Stack 2,000 chips)
• Mission 2 – Earn 25 Poker points in at least 4 days out of 7 (Starting Stack: 5,000 chips)
• Mission 3 – Earn 45 Poker points in at least 5 days out of 7 (Starting Stack: 10,000 chips)

You need to opt in to the mission at the start of the qualifying week and complete the task outlined above to earn a freeroll place and also the corresponding starting chip stack size related to each of the three missions.

So why not take on any one or more of the three Viva Las Vegas promotional items available above to see if you can secure yourself a trip to this amazing neon-lit city.
