Re: Where to play?
I think the Nugget itself has an excellent cardroom. Its small but well run and has good dealers. If you play for a while they will comp you for the Nugget buffet which is very good.
Binions dealers have not impressed me at all. The few times I have played there they have been making constant errors. Misreading hands, misdealing, trying to pay the wrong person.
The Plaza only seems to have 3 or so games going at any time. Nugget, Binions and plaza all run good $50-200 tourneys.
Those are all within walking distance from where you will be. On the strip the MGM cardroom is new, seems well run, and has some good games. Same with the Wynn. The Luxor seems like the worst place to play in town as far as I'm concerned. They rake for a bad-beat jackpot that is just a flat $1000. Their rake is high anyway (1-2 NL is 10% capped at $5) and their tournament sucks.
MGM has a daily 11:00 tourney that looks pretty well set up but I haven't had a chance to play it yet.
