History

In 1879, the area was opened by the state for homesteading. The first settler, N.J. Whitfield, arrived in 1899. On October 17, 1899, he purchased an area of Oldham County known as 'Section 90' for $1.00 per acre.[7] In 1903, Whitfield sold a 100-foot strip of land that extended across the southern part of Oldham County to the Choctaw, Oklahoma, and Texas (later Rock Island) Railroad as a right-of-way.[8] He then sold portions of land on the south side of the right-of-way to other settlers. A.M. Miller and Howard Trigg surveyed the town site that eventually became Vega in May 1903.[9] The name Vega, which is Spanish Countries where Spanish has official status. States of the U.S. where Spanish has no official status but is spoken by 25% or more of the population. States of the U.S. where Spanish has no official status but is spoken by 10-20% of the population. States of the U.S. where Spanish has no official status but is spoken by 5-9.9% of the population for "meadow," was chosen because it reflected the vast prairie and surrounding countryside of the area.[8][10] Soon after, Miller opened a store, and a post office, saloon, and a school that doubled as a Masonic Lodge were built in the community. In 1907, ranchers Patrick and John Landergin purchased a part of the LS Ranch from Swift & Company Swift & Company today denomined JBS USA, the wholly-owned operating subsidiary of privately-held Fortune 500 listed S&C Holdco 3, Inc. is the world's third-largest processor of fresh beef and pork, with nearly US$10 billion in annual sales as of 2007. It is also the largest beef processor in Australia. Working in association with the Amarillo Amarillo is the 15th-largest city in the U.S. state of Texas, the largest in the Texas Panhandle, and the seat of Potter County. A portion of the city extends into Randall County. The population was 173,627 at the 2000 census. The Amarillo metropolitan area has an estimated population of 236,113 in four counties. By 2010 the population of the city-based Pool Land Company, the Landergin brothers brought more prospective settlers to the community.[9] The following year, they established a bank in Vega. When the railroad was completed, Vega began to thrive. There were several stores, a blacksmith, two churches, and a newspaper – the Vega Sentinel – operating in the community by early 1909.

The nearby town of Tascosa, which was designated Oldham County seat in 1880, declined in both importance and population as Vega grew. A five-year battle over which community should serve as Oldham County's seat of government was put to a vote in 1915.[11] In the special election, citizens chose to move the county seat from Tascosa to Vega. Until a permanent courthouse was built, county business was conducted in Vega's Oldham Hotel.[6][8][9]

Modern amenities, such as telephone service, were introduced during the 1920s. In 1926, Route 66 U.S. Route 66 was a highway in the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66, US Highway 66, was established on November 11, 1926. However, road signs did not go up until the following year.

Vega was officially incorporated in 1927, and the population was 519 in the 1930 census. On May 3, 1931, a fire destroyed six buildings west of the courthouse square. Two months later, a second fire burned two buildings on the north side of the square. These fires prompted the town to establish a municipal water system.[9]

Whats the minimum buy-in for a poker game in vegas? (Texas- holdem)?
Q. I'm going next year and I want to play sum low stakes poker games.
Asked by matt_adcentre - Tue Feb 6 05:01:45 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can play the sit-and-go's for like $35 with the top 2 finishers (out of 9...it's only a one table game normally) getting the money. If you're talking an actual tournament, it's normally $100 + $15 for tthe house's rake. That's the minimum buy-in. If you're not talking the WSOP, they have buy-ins anywhere from $100 up to $1000 normally on a daily basis. If you're talking a limit table, the lowest is the $3-$6 with a minimum $40 buy-in. The higher the limits (blinds), the higher the minimum bring in amount that is required. I usually play the $4-$8 where I live, and the minimum is $80.
