a lot of casinos offer 1/2 NL games with capped buyins.

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.

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.

Doesn't having chips denominated in both Sterling and dollars make for a confusing game? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

As I've said before when this question came up, I wish that PokerWiki had better LV info so that I could recommend it as a community-maintained resource with the info the OP seeks. 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.

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.
