Omaha/8 in Vegas

Hello all.

I'll be in Vegas March 7-9. I'll mostly be playing NL hold'em around the Bellagio, but I was wanting to get in a few hours of Omaha/8. Any suggestions on where to go to find a game Mon-Wed?

The Mirage was the only place I could find. $5/10 w Full Kill, full of locals, it was OK though.

Bellagio does have (what looks to be) a super juicy 20/40 half kill if you have the roll for it. I waited for a seat in the game for 2-3 hours (then realized there were still 25 names ahead of me) and watched the game the whole time, it was on a kill about 60% of the time and there were 5-7 players taking a flop. Otherwise like the other guy said there is the Mirage, which is a pretty good game, just act like a donkey tourist.

The 5-10 game would be more in line with what I'm looking for. I'm new to omaha, so I wouldn't be looking to jump right into a 20-40.

Sorry if this is old info -- it's been a year since I was in Vegas -- but at that time Bellagio had a 6-12 and Binion's, if I recall correctly, had a 2-4 and a 5-10.

Have to agree with Nick's assessment of the Bellagio 20/40 O/8 game. I sat in this game the last trip out to Vegas. Just horrendous players. If you have the BR take a shot. its worth it.

All I have been seeing Binions run is 2-4, 4-8 limit texas and 1-2 no limit texas, no O8. And the Bellagio only had the 20-40 half kill. Like te other guy said though if you have the roll it's worth a shot but you should do equally well in terms of BB at the 5-10 at the mirage, with far less of a wait list I might add.

When I was there the Bellagio game was 30/60 I *think*. The Aladdin is meant to have an O8 game (10/20?) but apparently it only got going at weekends.

Aside from what the others said, the Orleans spreads 4/8 08 with either a kill or a half kill (I don't remember which).

Well its a 20/40 with a 1/2 Kill. The Kill being in effect on most pots. So yes it was basically a 30/60 game. I saw people playing J749 and other oddities. Must check out the Alladin when I go in August.
