Skip Luxor, the games/dealers/everything there sucks. Aladdin/MGM are the way to go if you want to go with 2/4, 3/6 or other 1-2 games.

I concur. I like the Aladdin and everything I hear about MGM is good. Mandalay Bay isn't bad I think the buy-in is $200. Bally's sucks as far as the room goes but I've made money in it the 2 times I've played there.

At low limits in Vegas, you will find fish inside the big buildings with the shiny outsides and winky-blinky lights.

Don't bother during the day, just a bunch of old retired guys with VPIP=9, PFR=3 and AF=0.5.

Be weary of their daily tournaments because of their bad structure, crazy rake, and less than stellar payout structure though.

Could you elaborate in this, I will be staying there (IP) when I go in 10 days and was planning on playing in one or two of their daily tourneys.

If the IP's tourneys are no good who hosts similar play level tourneys for roughly the same buy-in ($40-60)? Excalibur? MGM?

Hey wulf, you know you're gonna shed a tear, thinking about the fun you're missing at the PCS championship.

Good luck out there.

The sad part is I actually planned my trip around the championship. Then John postponed it for a week, screwing me over. Oh well. You should be glad I wont be there to take all your chips! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yup, sounds like my main targets will be Imperial Palace, Aladin and MGM. I plan to start at the Nugget because, well, that's where I'm staying. It would just be wrong to not play in the first casino I'm going to be at. Hopefully I will make it out of there at some point. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Getting back to the original question -- where are the Fish?

Will be in LV next month, staying at THEhotel. For a variety of reasons, my play will be limited to rooms relatively near there in low stakes, limit or nl games and tourneys.

I think that means Mandalay, Luxor, Excaliber and MGM. Is there any thought as to which may have most fish?

TheHotel is nice. You'll enjoy it... but it's a hike to go anywhere from your room.

I found this thread randomly. Somebody pointed out another thread in this category, and I saw your name attached to this one, so I figured I'd sign up and blather like a fool.
