The second week of December means holiday preparations for some, and finals week for college students concerned about their exams. For those interested in competing at the World Series of Beer Pong in January 2010, however, it was the last week to either earn a berth by competing at a satellite tournament, or buy in to the competition.

The event will be held at The Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV from January 1-5, 2010 where hundred’s of teams will compete for a grand prize of $50,000. If you missed out on qualifying this year, the qualifying tournaments for the 2011 World Series will begin in March 2010, so its not too early to start practicing your beer pong skills. Mahalo can help you get ready with its in-depth guide to How to Play Beer Pong. If you are heading to Vegas for the big event, you’ll want to check out the information Mahalo has on great Las Vegas Buffets that will stretch your dining dollars, so you don’t wind up surviving about Burger King, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s for the 4 days you’re in Sin City.
