i was just in vegas.

i played at the excalibur (where i stayed) and at the MGM.

the excalibur game was $1/$2 with a $100 max buy-in. i didn't like it since i've gotten accustomed to 100BB stacks and they wouldn't let you top off unless you got to less than $50. there were a couple players that knew what they were doing, but half the table was completely terrible. it sucked really since there's not enough room to play poker post-flop...generally it's all in there with those stacks.

i had one hand where i raised from the BB with AK and got 4 callers..hit a K, potted the flop (with almost half my stack), pushed the turn and was called by a guy with 83o who hit bottom pair on the flop and rivered the 8 for two pair. meh.

the MGM game was very good. $1/$2 with $200 buy-in...top off any time. i played there for about 6 hours and walked away having tripled up. most of the players were decent, but there were several in and out that were clueless.
