Vegas Mid Limit

So with the Series in town, where is the good mid-limit action? I usually play the 15 and 30 at Bellagio when I come to town (the 20 at Mirage has been full of rocks in the 2-3 times I have wandered over on previous visits) and am wondering if that is still where the best games are...


I see posts from Vegas regulars about games at Mirage and Binions and wonder where I should play when I come. Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Pokerbabe says the Mirage 20-40 is her favorite game in town. Clarkmeister has been raving about Binion's 15-30 game. I've been more than happy with the Bellagio's 15-30 game over the past month.


I suspect all these games will be very good throught the end of May.

I've played mid-limit at all three Meccas in the last few days. I think the Mirage rates to be toughest followed by the Bellagio followed by the Horseshoe. That's based on some play at the strip joints -- (I mean joints as in casinos, on the strip) -- and lots of play at the Horseshoe, and lots of hearing people's opinion on this issue.


I think game difficulty is close enough to base your decision on the next layer of parameters: food, parking, travel time and distance, food, chairs, lighting, smoking, and food.


Clarkmeister likes the Shoe and I do too. 2+2 occasional poster, Potmo, says the Shoe would be 49th on his list of top 50. He hates the grimy gloomy lighting. I like it. He hates the funky old chips. I think they're kinda nostalgic.


A funny thing. The little cage at the downstairs poker room had a long line and I went to the nearby main cage to cash out. I sit down a rack and the cashier starts counting out a stack like they always have to do and right away she says something like, "These chips are terrible. You'd think they'd do something about them by now."


And I'm thinking, does she say this to every single customer for 40 hours per week? Wouldn't this be something like a groundskeeper at a golf course complaining that the damn grass just keeps growing and growing all the damn time?

But what about food? Don't you think food should be taken into consideration?

I think that those chips have seen some things happen that people can only dream of. If these walls could talk.

Tommy,

The past 10 days I have been playing some insane number of hours at the shoe (mostly upstairs in the pot limit omaha and one table satelites) and i only got to see you once! were you mostly playing downstairs? i saw you buddy alex plenty though--he seemed to be everywhere, especially outside the tourney room on smoke breaks, lol. anyway i was going to reintroduce myself (we met a couple of times at lucky chances, but poof! you were gone, never to be seen again by me anyway. i agree with you i sort of enjoy the binion's, well for lack of a better word, ambience. hope all is going well--see you in the bay area sometime. oh buy the way i had a cashier say the exact same thing to me as she struggled with counting the unevenly worn out chips. cheers--J.Brown
