Need LV recommendation for small stakes NL
 

I average about +7BB/100 at $25NL and +5BB/100 $50NL playing TAG at a variety of sites.
What would be an equivalent Las Vegas level? Where should I play? Non-smoking would be ideal.

Thanks in advance (already read the FAQ).

What is considered graveyard in LV? 4-7 AM?
"kicks ass" = fishy?

Pretty much every room I asked at spread some sort of low buyin ($100-$200) NL game when I was down there last week. Don't know where the soft games are, but you shouldn't have any trouble finding at game to try.

This is an understatement. I have never witnessed worst NL play in my life. If I ever learn to play NL, I will go directly to Bally's after 11PM and not leave before breakfast. Just sitting there watching the action was funnier than cable TV.

You should be able to beat any of the $1-2 NL games in Vegas. Try out the Luxor. They have a $50 buy-in 1-1-2 blind structure and you can re-buy as soon as you are below $50. It was some of the worst poker I have ever seen in my life and because the chips are flying stacks get big enough to make it worth your while.

You will occasionally find tough time. MGM and Wynn have had tough games sometimes earlier in the day.

If you wonder what I mean by tough, I mean laying down kings preflop. I can live with that, but I know at some places in Vegas, I wouldn't lay down jacks preflop.

You can't go wrong with the Stratosphere's NL $1/2 ($200 max), which often has beginners. Bally's is pretty good at most times of the day. The Excalibur's NL $1/2 ($200 max) also is pretty decent.

I'm not a fan of the Luxor's $50 max format for NL (blinds $1/2) because it's not enough chips to play with. Same goes for the Imperial Palace's $1/2 $100 max.

$200 max for $1/2 feels about right. Even the Excalibur's $200 max for its $1/3 game is fine.

I'm not sure if there is a poker room left in vegas that isn't non smoking. Best advice walk around and look for a game thats good(people drinking + lots of chips on the table)and watch the play for a few minutes. Most poker rooms on the strip have 1/2 no limit (expect for belagio they spread 2/5 and up).
