Default Where should a PP 2/4 player play in vegas?

I'm a mediocre to good PP 2/4 player. I'm going to Vegas in 2 weeks. I was planning on playing at the Mirage 3/6. Are there other levels or venues I should consider?

I know this question kinda sucks. But I'm really curious, and I couldn't find anything using search.

What Vegas games compare to PP 2/4?

I am a low limit player and I just got back from vegas.

The 3/6 and the 6/12 at the mirage were plenty soft. Both are very loose. The 3/6 was very passive. The 6/12 was a little more aggressive but nothing that should cause a problem. Mandalay Bay 4/8 was a great game and the nicest room by far. I didn't play at the temporary room on the floor at the Bellagio. By far the softest game I played was the Excaliber 2/6 spread limit game.

The Flamingo and the Luxor had small rooms with low limit games but I didn't try them out.

If you can beat the party 2/4 none of those games should give you a problem. Have a great trip.

if vegas is anything like AC, a party 2/4 player would be fine at a 6/12ish game and very likely still +ev at a 10/20.

As per the reccomendation of the weely group that meets at the Binion's coffe shop on Wednesdays (get there at 2PM... its a must do while in Vegas) it seems that they all prefer the Excaliber spread limit 1-3 game. Other prefered options at that level include Alladin (say hi to Al_Cappone, he works there) Binions and The Nugget.

PS: Vegas has the most passive players you will find anywhere.

Only played twice in Las Vegas. Can't speak for the quality of their other games, but WSOP Satellites at Binion's were a blast, though not profitable. Poker room was nicely sequestered away from other casino action, nice and clean (they had just reopened) and best service anywhere in Vegas in their coffee shop.

Poker room at Orleans was a total drag, though I only played 1-2 there. So was the rest of the place from what I could see.

Looking forward to checking out these passive tables (I probably didn't know what that meant last time I was there!) on my next visit!

I too am a Party 2/4 player and I have found the Excalibur 2-6 spread game ot be very profitable.

The 4/8 at bellagio was good to me, but as we usually stay at the Tropicana, Excalibur is very close and I just enjoy the atmosphere there.

Your biggest stumbling block will be your own tolerance to losses. If losing $200 makes you feel terrible, or gets you off your game, 10/20 is not for you. I'd recommend starting small to get a feel for the games, and move up to 6/12 as soon as you feel comfortable.
