With the current down-in-the-dumps atmosphere surrounding our national economy right now, the Las Vegas strip has been hit pretty hard. Fortunately for those folks out there who are still in the mood to get in on some action at the mecca of bright lights and sordid scandals, Las Vegas poker rooms are doing everything they can to keep their rooms vibrant and active. And what that means for you is a splendid array of awesome promotional deals.

How would you like to play in the invitation-only, celebrity-stocked National Heads-up Poker Championship on NBC? What is normally a $20,000 buy-in could be yours absolutely free!

For their big free-roll events that will come up in early 2009, Caesars is fine-tuning the details and trying to determine how to bring in the most business to get their revenue back on up to a healthy level. Caesars is bringing you the chance for the heads-up championship seat.

In order to be eligible to win, players must first log at least 50 hours in their poker rooms during the month of January. And once you have qualified for that, you will participate in a free shootout tournament against all the other players who logged enough hours. From there, the top two players from each table will score enough money to make it into the second phase of the free-roll tournament.

The second phase involves pitting the remaining players in a heads-up tourney in which the winner will ultimately claim the $20,000 seat and the rest of the folks there will have to divide up the remainder of the $80,000 prize pool.
