Re: where to play in Las Vegas?
If you are a winning 50NL online player you should be looking at the 2/5 NL games and forget about tournaments. That is assuming you are there to make money on not just for the fun of it.
IF I remember right the Wynn is running some NL MTT for like $125 or so and a Friday night that is $525 with single table sats running during the day. They have an excellent structure with 45min levels. Also the 1/3 NL game there is sweat as is the 2/5 NL game. |

Hi tj
Have a look at this site, it reviews all of the vegas poker rooms and gives details of the games available. http://www.allvegaspoker.com/ One you might want to consider is the MGM grand. They run a $1-2 NL game with Min $40 buy and Max £200 buy. One of the highest rated poker rooms as well. Good luck. |

The only $100 max that I know of is at the Imperial Palace. But the blinds still are $1/2. The Luxor has a $1/1/2 $50 max NL game as well. But given the blinds, I prefer at least $1/2 $200 max. You can find them nearly everywhere but Excalibur, Bally's, Stratosphere and MGM Grand are my favorites.

SheridanCat added some good stuff after a recent visit there, but the LV pages are still far from complete (to the extent that a wiki is ever complete, heh). I agree that AVP is the best bet. |

Re: where to play in Las Vegas?
Poker Wiki also has info on rooms
When I went to Vegas in June, I played 1/2 NL with a $200 cap at the Mirage, had a good time and won $300+ in maybe 3 hours. Good times with bad players. I also played 3/6 at the MGM grand with my brother, but they had 1/2 NL going also. The 3/6 was filled with very bad players. The MGM grand also has a very nice poker room with lots of open space. I'd recommend at least playing there for a couple hours. |
