LAPC 2011, $335 1 Million guarantee, $345 HU & 5k HU!
Matt Savage has added a 64 max 5k Heads Up to this years LAPC line up, I really like this realistic approach to introducing the new event. What also looks good for Heads Up players is Event #18 a $345, 256 player max Heads Up event. Still intact is the $335 multiple entry day Million Dollar prize pool Guaranteed event and there are so many under $500 events with huge guaranteed prize pools. Still sorting through the schedule but it looks awesome! January 19th to March 3rd. Anyone planning on going? would love to hear feedback.

WPT Celebrity Invitational
Last year, PartyPoker took out $750 from the package for 4 nights' hotel and hospitality, which included a tour of Universal Studios and LA. This year, they're charging 33% more or $1K, so the spending money is less at $2K.
While I obviously won't buy in to any of the other tournaments because of the 37% withholding tax
Play the 1K super satellites, they give out lamers and you can usually sell them in the line ups going to the cage to register. Most pros (or internet kids) will just pull out a wad of 100s and pay you there. Its a common courtesy.
I have booked my family's flights, U$175/person with Virgin America departure from Toronto and U$139/person direct return flight with AirCanada.com.
NO baggage fees for first checked luggage with Virgin & AC (cost U$50 extra with most other airlines)
US September 11th Security Fee (AY)
Canadian Goods and Services Tax (XG)
US Transportation Tax (US)
USDA APHIS Fee (XA)

A $6+ rake for ANY flop is hard to beat for 1/2, especially if it's still true that you can only buy for 20 BB or $40. Is it true that there is no free alcohol, but free food for high limits?
Not sure if you've already answered your own question but at Commerce there's different buy-in amounts at each stake. From what I remember some tables you could buy in for 50-150bb while some other tables had a max of 50bb. And with the exception of timed games, they take $1+1 from the SB even if the blinds chop.
As for food, on the high stakes side (10/20 NL and higher), you get comped food without needing to check your card. On the lower stakes they take the points off your card. What I hear people do is use the points at the gift shop before ordering food cause it seems they get comped food as long as you have a card. Personally, I had to pay once so maybe it's up to the discretion of the floorman.
That $6 rake is way too high for 1/2NL(40 max)!!
Sounds like you need to play 5/10 (1500 max buyin) or 10/20.
The Bike has a $2/$3 $300 max. game with a drop of $4+$1, which is much more winnable compared to the Commerce. There were some bad regulars and I had multiplied my stack by more than six times. Unfortunately, my friend had again busted and wanted to go back early to Commerce for the Celebrity party with free gourmet food and open bar.
