Here's the breakdown for casino poker in NO relevant to what you are looking for:

Harrah's: 3/6, 6/12, 1-4-8-8 half holdem-half omaha, & other higher limits; 10% rake 5$ max & 1$ jackpot rake
Boomtown: 3/6, games vary; 10% rake 4$ max & 1$ jackpot

Boomtown is about 15 min from downtown NO on the opposite bank of the river in the middle of an industrial area. There's only 6 tables, and usually only a couple of games going. If you get really bored and decide to check it out, make sure you call first. However, there's enough action at Harrah's that you won't need to drive out there.

Also, I've lived in or around NO my whole life save 3 years, and I've never a true basement before. The Harrah's tunnel is the only structure I know of, and maybe a handful of subT parking lots.

Oh, and stay away from Bourbon & St. Ann lol
