For most of the week I was walking up and down Las Vegas Blvd. and Freemont Street sampling in the place many poker professionals call their workplaces. The Belliago, Mirage, and even my "home" base for the past week the MGM Grand sport some of the best poker rooms on the strip. But, without the original poker base of Benny's bullpenlinks at Binion's Horseshoe (now just named "Binion's Hotel and Casino") most of the strip wouldn't contain those bunkers of card slinging for pros and home game champions to try their skills in Vegas.

Today at Binion's several pros will be gathering and throwing down $2,500 for a charity tournament to benefit the Vegas Grand Prix's Charities (a big race that currently has most of the downtown roads filled with cement barriers).

Here's the details of the event from PokerNetcast.com:

Saturday, April 7, 2007 -
CELEBRITY POKER EVENT TO BENEFIT
THE VEGAS GRAND PRIX CHARITIES!
Benny's Bullpen at the Binions Hotel & Casino is going to be the place to be in Las Vegas as celebrities battle it out to take home the celebrity poker event trophy as well as part of the prize pool winnings! The red carpet rolls out at 7:00p.m. and the $2,500 buy-in live poker action starts a 8:00p.m. Celebrities scheduled to participate include Jason Priestley, Mimi Rogers, Cheech Marin, David Brenner, David Cubitt, Robert David Hall, Patrik Antonius, Robert Williamson III, Marcel Luske, and Hoyt Corkins.
