I played in events at all the series last year except the Golden Nugget. Mostly because as Debbie said the hassle of getting down there from the strip.
Some of my friends did play there and had a good experience.
Venetian DeepStack Extravaganza is good.
what do you think makes angry money so good? bad play?100% agree Venetian daily deepstacks are awesome. And a lot of angry money from people who busto in the WSOP.
thanks!! i haven't played there but i heard its a great room.You should check out the Orleans. They haven't released their schedule this year but here is a link to last years.

The 2nd best isn't in Vegas its the poker championship held at the Taj in Atlantic City NJ
Planet Hollywood will have one with some decent tournaments in it, Aria will have one but they run a bit high that time of year, love the Wynn series and sometimes there is a decent game to jump in at the Venetian.
I rarely play in the Golden Nugget tournaments because I stay on the strip and it takes too much time and money to go downtown.
Non-WSOP Las Vegas Summer Poker Tournaments Schedules Taking Shape
never even knew the hard rock had anything besides cash games..I think the Golden Nugget and the Hard Rock has the best value tournaments, and I will try to play in both of them this year.
If there is a Hard Rock series they are being extremely quiet about it.
