Post trip report.

If you are into tourneys, The Plaza is ok. We stayed there in November. They have decent tourneys at 7 and midnight (basically $100 with the rebuy/addon for the midnight, and like $70 for the 7 p.m.). Decent structure/chip count and filled up (30) every nite I was there with a couple alternates.

I miss the days when I got a 50% bonus whenever I cashed out.

Yeah you're right. 3 years ago I had a lot of US incomes (not related to poker) and was so glad to receive 1.6 CAN for a single US$ ... Now, when I cash out, I truly miss those days too.. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I had her sit in on a lesson at Golden Nugget. They do them every weekday at 10 a.m. and the guy teaching the classes is really,really good. It's a good idea to sit in on a class if you have no B & M experience. You can then just buy in right at that table and play with the other beginners. It's a $2-$4 limit table.

Hey, that sounds like a veeery good idea. I recently started to read on table etiquette and things like that but having lessons in a stress free environment with others like me, I think i just can't pass on this. Especially if I get to play with those beginners after... Nice. I'll note this down.

Small tourneys seem fine too. Saw some 30-40$ buy ins tourney which might give me a lot of poker for cheap...

Thanks for the help!!

I'm Canadian as well and was just in Vegas the week before Christmas. I was hoping the dollar would plummet before I changed my money back.

I played in a few places but my favorite was the 4/8 at the Wynn. It's a very nice room and the game was great, as easy or easier then any 1/2 or 2/4 game I've played online. As well if you decide to you can move to the 1/3NL or move up to the 8/16 limit. The staff at the Wynn was also really great, and they give $1/hr in comps.

If you want less then 4/8 you can find 3/6 and 2/4 limits as well. The allvegaspoker site can help you find those games. I have never tried the 2/4 but I found almost no skill difference between the 3/6 and 4/8 games.

I'm not sure where in Canada you're from but if you have a local cardroom I'd suggest going there to get some basic B&M experience. 95% of what you experience there will be the same in Vegas.
