Having played at both Bellagio and the Mirage as well as several other places, I think the Mirage is nicest. The waiting lists for 3/6 are short, the low-limit games are supersoft, the atmosphere is inviting, the staff is friendly, and you can get comped $15 toward your meal if you've been playing for a few hours when 7 p.m. or 4 a.m. roll around.

As for NL, I like the 1/2 at Excalibur and the 2/4 at Bellagio. Both are 50 BB capped games. Excpect regular players as well as fish in both cases. The 1/2 at Excalibur was incredibly fishy with a few rocks. The 2/4 was a great game, but I only played one day due to the excessive waiting list. Get there early for that one.
