First Time in Vegas...

I would have to say that the best place to play 4/8 is probably The Golden Nugget, Luxor, or Binions. If you want a small to medium buy-in tournament. I'd try the Golden Nugget's $100 + $25 w/2000 in chips on Mon-Thursday and Sunday at 7p.m. Ususally about 60-80 players enroll and their is a good mix of 'rookies' and experienced players.

The monorail is not as convenient as it sounds. It's kinda pricey and still breaks down a bit. I'd take a cab to the south end, where you can go to the MGM & Luxor on foot.

The GOLD COAST casino has cheap $5 dollar blackjack, and they keep the drinks flowing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The Lux tried for 3 days to get a 4/8 game going when I was there in Oct. No takers. That room sucked, go to the Wynn or the Mirage. Also Imperial Palace has like 3$/hour comps if the rumors around here are ture.

"The Lux tried for 3 days to get a 4/8 game going when I was there in Oct. No takers."

They almost never get a 4-8 since they changed their blind structure a few months back (at least it never seems to be going when I'm in there twice a week).
The other games (2-4 & NL) are more popular then ever though.

I was in there yesterday (Friday) for the 5:00 am high hand promo. They have added 3 new tables (they now have 14). FWIW, They took away the old brush table and have a real nice (& big) brush table at the front of the room now. The no-limit is as good as it gets IMHO. YMMV.

Best of Luck
