Re: Badugi not allowed in vegas - why??
It is a great game. It is simply a triple draw lowball game with four cards and different suits. Higher variance. I think the link to Raymers post describes the rules.
The reason why you cannot play it at the Bellagio is because they never got the game approved by the nevada gaming commission. Supposedly they submitted it a long while back and there was something wrong or missing so it got rejected and they spread it occasionally but they are not supposed to. (When we sneak it into the game and a supervisor doesnt know about it and the dealer doesnt say anything)
When I first saw the Rio was spreading Padugi I just assumed they got it approved by the gaming commission. Then everyone is calling it four card triple draw so I dont know. With regard to playing it in LA well there are really no rules or regulations in LA and you can do whatever you want. The Rio has proved to be quite similar to LA. Players run the games. Dealers dont know how to deal the games. No complaints so far though.
And if you like money I'd recommend some 300600 Padugi at the Rio.
