"In a 6/12 (or 8/16) game how are the chips given? Do they run $2 and/or $4 chips or something?"

Niether Mirage (6/12) nor Bellagio (8/16) use anything other than $1 and $5 chips for these games.

The 8/16 at Bellagio is, therefore, the slowest game in town. You haven't really seen slow play till u've seen a drunkard with a $16 bet in front of him (using only 1s and 5s) facing a raise and desiring to reraise.

First he has to figure out what 16 + 16 + 16. When he finally comes up with 48, he then remembers that he already has 16 out there. So now it's 48 - 16. .. ummm. . .carry the 1. . .ummmm. . .to hell with it "i wanna raise, what do i do?"

They should offer slide rules for this game.
