2. Why are they playing with so many chips. I played the Mirage 20-40, Bellagio 15-30 and Bellagio 30-60. I can see the reasoning for 5 dollar chips in the 15-30 and ten dollar chips in 30-60 games but why not play 10 dollar chips in the 20-40. I got some heat because of my slow chip-handling.

Physical pot size. The 10/20 is played with $5 chips, so it's a 2/4 chip game. That's pretty common in LV - except for the 15/30 which is played with $5 chips.
In California, in the bay area where I have played, 6/12 is played with $2 chips and 9/18 is played with $3 chips. That seemed pretty weird to me.
In any event, it's about building bigger looking pots.
