Default Re: friendliest vegas poker rooms?

I was just there last weekend and I had a great time at the Excalibur. I was playing with a few buddies of mine with different levels of experience/comfort playing poker. they have 1/3 and 2/6 spread limit hold'em with single blinds and 1/2 $100 max NLHE is the highest they spread). Anybody playing 2/6 or higher who has Aces cracked gets to go up to a big wheel and take a spin to win some money. They also have a bad beat jackpot.

My advice would be start off playing NLHE at the Ex or Luxor and to get comfortable. If you're running well try the Bellagio, but it's a lot tougher game. Anybody with something to prove is at the Bellagio.

I think the fact that the Ex is strictly low-limit keeps away the WPT wanna-bes at the Bellagio.

I've always liked the Luxor, but that's probably b/c it was the first poker room I ever played at(and I won a bad beat).

I think most poker rooms take a rake from the low limit games and time charge for higher stakes.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
