Vegas or LA? Where should I go?

[JoeU]

I am planning to go out west January 13th for a long weekend on a poker only trip (no wife, no daughter, just 3 days of poker and out). At the moment, I am planning on going to LA and stay at the Commerce.

But lately, the flight pricing has become very close from home (right around $250 for both cities) so now I have a choice to make. Here are some of the facts:

1. I am probably meeting Joe Tall out in LA when I'm out there. Joe take it easy, I haven't changed any trip plans...yet.

2. I am definitely meeting JTG51 out there. He is for all intents and purposes equidistant from both LA and LV.

3. I have been to LV 4 times, never to LA (in fact, LV is the furthest west I have ever been on this continent).


So if anyone can give me pros and cons to either city I'd appreciate it. Meeting Joe Tall is not an issue here, I can drive 30 minutes to Foxwoods and find him at the 20-40 almost any time. Sightseeing in LA and golf in either place could help sway the decision.

Help me oh great B&M forum, you're my only hope!

I just got back from a week at The Mirage and I had a blast and won more than usual, especially odd as I was drunk the whole time and I'm not a good poker player.

If you're even halfway decent, you'll absolutely rape the competition.

vegas...NO COMPARISON UNLESS THERE IS SOME HUGE THING IN LA like the classic....

If your a low-limit player go to LA, as the worst, and I mean worst poker players on earth frequent low-limit games at Commerce, the Bike, ect. I've personally won almost 1000 dollars at a 3-6 game at Commerce with a nice rush of cards.

However playing middle limit and high limit, I would choose Vegas, not because the competition is any better or worse, but because it's Vegas baby.

Vegas baby.

LA cant see Vegas it's so far back.

If you want the whole experience go to Vegas. If you want to be a total degenerate and play poker 24/7 come to Commerece.

Been to Vegas, got the experience. Never been to LA, and since I'm sans-family, I'm definitely gonna be a poker degenerate. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

"Sightseeing in LA and golf in either place could help sway the decision."

There's no sightseeing in Vegas unless you like plastic buildings and plastic titties. (And who doesnt?) If you've never been to L.A., come here then. Go visit the Getty. See Venice Beach. Take in a Lakers or Clippers game. There's much more, and better, poker at Commerce than in Vegas. And the Bike is just a few minutes away.

Andy,

Coming from a fellow Yankee fan, that means alot to me. I didn't really consider the Lakers or Clippers game.

I agree with la poker here that Commerce is strickly degenerate in the fact that no one is there to have a good time.

However the 20-40 game at Commerce is a joke

I feel like vegas is the whole experience, and Commerce is just free fruit plates.
