I dont think that Flamingo has a poker room. Lexur and New Orleans have some lower limit tournies. I will be at the Mirage the week before and plan on playing one or two $100 buy in tournies.
The web sites are alll pretty good for info.
These are the poker rooms I know of on the strip: Bellagio, Mirage, Monte Carlo?, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Palms, New Orleans and Excaliber?
General Sal lives in LV. Maybe he can chime in w/ more info.

Was in the Monte Carlo a few weeks ago and can confirm it has a small poker room. Around 8 tables...
MGM will have poker tables later this year/early next - some big renovations planned apparently. They reckon the growth in poker will be huge over next year or so and they want some of the action - at least their guests have been asking for it...
later

Sahara, Mandalay Bay, Luxor run tournaments a few days a week that I know for sure.
The Horseshoe, Excalibur, Circus Circus, Bellagio, Monte Carlo and Palace Station all have poker rooms that I know of. Not sure about tourneys there.
With the explosion of poker, I'd imagine that most all casinos will have rooms or do by now.
There used to be a link to cardplayer.com that listed tournament information somewhere around here, but I can't find it now.

Flamingo has a small poker room. Imperial Palace has one now too--low limits--$4/$8 being highest, and mostly $2/$4 tables. IP also has regular low-buy-in tournaments. Its a nice friendly room with lots of tourists. Same with Flamingo, but no tournaments. Binions downtown has a good daily tournament for $60 plus one $40 rebuy and one $10 add-on. Golden Nugget has daily tournaments too that are in the same price range. We didn't like Luxor daily tournament because you start out with very few chips and the blinds go up really fast so it's almost like a crap shoot.. Just came back from 11 days in Vegas and played most of the rooms that have lower limits, so let me know if you have any questions.

Hey J0sh,
I'm thinking about being out there that same week (11-15), but we'll be at the Mirage most likely. I emailed ahead of time and this is what the Mirage sent to me:
Day/Time Game Buy-In Re-Buys Add-On
SUN/5pm NL Hold’em $330 ($750) Unl/$200($500) One/$200($1,000)
MON/7pm LimHold’em $130 ($500) Unl/$100($500) One/$100($500)
TUE/7pm NL Hold’em $130 ($500) Unl/$100($500) One/$100($500)
WED/7pm LimHold’em $230($500) One/$200($1,000) N/A
THU/7pm NL Hold’em $230($500) One/$200($1,000) N/A
Table formatting is not my forte in this system, but if you want me to forward you the RTF doc, then just PM me. The number in parenthesis is the chip amount. So for instance, $130($500) means $130 buy-in gets you $500 in chips. ( I didn't know so I figured someone else might not know ) :D
Maybe we'll see you there! Good Luck!
Brian
