Craps Tournaments

I got an invite to a craps tournament at the Mirage and was thinking about going. I have never played in a tournament before and was wondering if any of you had experience in these and if they have been fun and worthwhile. Craps is my favorite game in the casino and I usually don't need much of an excuse to make the trip and this seems like a good enough excuse.

The tourney itself will likely be only two (possibly three) sessions of around 30 minutes each playing with fake chips. So its very little time commitment on your part and you get a couple free nights and a free drink. The casino really just wants to get you in the door and then hopes you start playing with your own money for a couple days.

I played in a couple tournaments at the LV Hilton. It is a lot of fun, and you meet a lot of characters, but the strategy is totally different. Throw out any advice about only making bets with the lowest house edge; in tournaments, the guys that win are the ones that get lucky and hit a bunch of hardways or pressed-up yos and hop bets. Fast and loose is the name of the game.
Have fun!
