NL games in Vegas

[Fredo]

Hi there,

Just wanted to know if anyone who visits vegas regularly knows which NL games they run on the weekdays - and where i would get the best action.

I'm leaving in a couple of weeks and I'll be staying at Mirrage. But I take it the best NL action is elsewhere? I was looking for 2-4NL and 5-10NL.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Fred

NO limit games are as follows: EVERYWHERE! lol

The ones I suggest:
Mirage 2/5 blinds. 100-300 buy in
Palms 2/5 blinds. 100-500 buy in
Bellagio 2/5 blinds 200 min/max buy in
Bellagio 10/20 blinds. 600 minimum buy in, no max
Excalibur 1/2 blinds. 100 min/max buy in (lots of seen it on TV tourists)

I think the Golden Nugget, Imperial Palace, Flamingo, and Horseshoe are all running decent games as well. Never played in any of them though.

Stay away from the $50 ONLY buy in at the luxor with 1/2/2 blinds.

"Stay away from the $50 ONLY buy in at the luxor with 1/2/2 blinds."

Out of curiosity, why?


Never played the NL there, but the structure appears silimiar to what I play on Party.

I don't know why to stay away, but the max buyin for the 1/2 on Party is $100. On Stars and Paradise it is $200.

The Luxor allows you to rebuy after falling below $50, so
it works out the same as Party. For example, you can post
$2, muck a bad hand, then buy another $50.

I've played limit poker at the Luxor before and found the
players to be an interesting mix. A large number of pensioners play there because of some type of comp program, a large number of young guys with sunglasses who drink away as if prohibition returns next week.

The 3 blind structure sounds a little strange, but other than that rule it should be similiar to Party.

If you can only buy-in for $50, $5/orbit (posting three blinds of 2/2/1) is a pretty big chunk of your stack. If you fold for 10 orbits, you lose your whole buy-in whereas, on Party, you can fold every hand for 33 orbits before you go broke. Even if you immediately rebuy in the Luxor game, you're still only 20 orbits from blinding away your stack.

I haven't ever played it (haven't even been to Vegas yet-- going for the first time in a couple weeks) but a $50 buy-in with 2/2/1 blinds seems ridiculous to me.

I'm amazed by how short-stacked these games are. In AC, the 1/2 games have $300 max, the 2/5 have $500 max. Deep stacks is so much more fun.

Ghazban answered the question for me. I mean, what can you do with 50 bucks and 3 blinds every round? It's a 1/2 or a 2/4 game in reality.

The blinds at the luxor are 1-1-2 not 2-2-1. I strongly recommend not playing there. Their promotions bring tons of locals who are CONSTANTLY there, and even if they aren't very good, they are still way better than the moron tourists. I have been playing at the aladdin and it's fish city there, try it.

Excalibur also has better games than luxor.
