What's Left At Park MGM For NFBC Las Vegas Weekend 1?

[Greg Ambrosius]

As we all get ready to travel to Las Vegas this week, it's time to post the last remaining NFBC leagues available at Park MGM. Everything is filling nicely, but we have a couple of leagues that need some help. Sign up online or email me at [email protected] if you're interested.

Here we go:

Tuesday, March 25, 4 pm PT:
7 Spots Left - Main Event League

Thanks all and safe travels this week.

Okay, now we're getting serious about these final Las Vegas spots. We took a couple of steps closer to filling up the Thursday 10 am PT Las Vegas $1600 Auction Championship league with two more signups. We now have ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT and I have one owner listed as tentative on top of that. Could we find two more brave souls to jump into this one before Thursday morning?

Sign up online or contact me at [email protected] and we'll fill this one up. Brady Tinker will be in town to be the auctioneer for this one and he will be fresh and full of new stories. As the weekend goes on, the stories get stale and Brady's back gets even staler (if that's a word!!).

C'mon, you know you want us to fill this league and close out the 2025 NFBC Auction Championship with 195 teams, 13 leagues and a little more prize money to spread around. Give me a shout and I'll make it work so that we fill this league. Thanks all and good luck.

We officially kick off our 2025 NFBC Las Vegas Live Events tonight at 4:05 pm PT with a Live $350 Rotowire Online Championship League. That's right, a $350 OC!!!

We had reserved the Madison Meeting room for a Main Event draft tonight, but when that didn't fill we decided to use the space we had paid for already for a 12-Team Rotowire OC draft. We have a combination of 7-8 Live drafters with us here in Las Vegas and a handful of Online drafters who knew what they were getting into!!!

Should be fun. Here's the final lineup card:

Rotowire Online Championship
Las Vegas/Online
Wednesday, March 19th, 4:05 pm PT/7:05 pm ET
1 Robert Dipietro
2 Ian Peterson
3 Kevin Tran

5 James Tomony
6 Mason Favazza
7 Shawn Childs
8 Michael Saunders
9 Tim Lilly
10 Marcus Shak
11 Scott Slezak
12 James Delaney

Great job everyone. The Madison Meeting rooms are on the 2nd Floor of the Park MGM Convention Center. Just come into the Convention Center, take the escalator up one floor and we'll point you in the right direction. We'll have drinks and take one break during the draft before heading to the sportsbook for drinks after the draft!!! Should be fun.

See you all there.

Okay, everything is selling out nicely in Las Vegas, but we still have some openings in the last three Las Vegas Main Event leagues. We always sell out the Sunday, 4 pm PT Main Event league, so this one is perplexing.

LAST CALL for these three leagues before we fill them up with Online drafters. Sorry to do that, but the show must go on and we'll still have fun, competitive drafts with good food and drinks at Park MGM. Please sign up online or contact me at [email protected] if you're going to be in Las Vegas and want to compete in any of these three leagues:

Sunday, March 23, 4 pm PT:
9 Spots Left - Main Event League

Monday, March 24, 4 pm PT:
5 Spots Left - Main Event League

Tuesday, March 25, 4 pm PT:
7 Spots Left - Main Event League

Thanks all and safe travels this week.

NOW ONLY 1 SPOT LEFT in the combined Las Vegas/Online Main Event League on Sunday, March 23rd at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET. Many Online drafters were happy to move into a combo league with two breaks, so we now are close to selling this one out. Look for draft spots after we get one more signup.

If you have an Online entry that you want to move to this one, just let me know. Or sign up for the Las Vegas Main and we'll get you in. Next one in closes out this league. Thanks all and good luck.

I will give everyone directions to the Madison Meeting Rooms later, but we held the Live Rotowire Online Championship league in there last night and we'll hold Monday's $1600 Auction Championship League and Main Event there. It's a nice, nice setup.
