Hi, I'm trying to get the funds together to make the Big journey out to Vegas and I was wondering which tourney is better as far as playing, Spectatting as far as the pro's being there and which one has more venders, hoopla etc? Just a small Fyi, I'm a b player at best so not thinking about Prize money regarding which tourney to attendThanks for your time, TODD
Which is a better Tourney Vnea or Acs in Vegas?

Neither, the BCA is by FAR the best tournament in Vegas for all of the things you mentioned.
Once the BCA ends a huge amount of the vendors pack up and leave and the pros dissapear for the most part in preparation for the VNEA.
The VNEA does have a decent international contingent that makes up for the lack of overall player numbers to a degree, but the event just seems fairly dead for the most part after the BCA.
From what I have heard the ACS is even worse and given this

I can see why, the money is a fraction of what it is in the BCA and that is due to a lack of participation.
This year the BCAPL in Vegas is likely to be even bigger with two major pro events in the World Pool Masters and the US Open 10-ball coinciding with it.

Thanks for asking and thanks for the replies so far; I had been curious, too.
The Pro's are only there during the BCA tourney. But, if your only choices are between the VNEA and ACS, I would definitely go with the VNEA. The ACS is way to small of a turnout.
I have gone to all these plus the APA. My favorite is by far the BCA tournament. JMHO
