Vegas without a second thought. F LA, lol. This place sucks. If you're going to do something crazy and spontaneous, do it right.

Cool. thanks for the responses.

I didn't realize the rakes were so bad in LA.

I've read on this board that the games at the Commerce were some of the best anywhere. So, I guess I'm surprised no one picked LA.

Bargon, you didn't mention what limits you were interested in, but my choice would be LA. Nothing to do with the aesthetics of either city, it's just that there are games at your level always going at Commerce, the Bike, etc. I go to Vegas about three times a year and find I often have to wait until certain times in the day to get into a game: At Commerce, anything from 1-2 to 40-80 is going all the time, and your wait is rarely longer than 10 minutes.

Good luck.

I think if it were 2-3 years ago I'd pick LA without hesitation. Before there were only a few casinos (comparitively) spreading poker games in Vegas. LA poker rooms had more tables as well. So,the selection in Vegas wasn't nearly as comprehensive as LA.

But there has been a lot of activity in Vegas casinos since then. Just about every single casino in Vegas now has a poker room, and a lot of the existing poker rooms have expanded substantially, etc. so I think the game selection in Vegas has surpassed LA in many areas.

And the dealers in Vegas are better IME.

i'm going to hijack this post.

if you're a professional poker player and you wanted to relocate to play poker, do you choose LA or vegas? is there more soft cash game action in LA or vegas? specifically, the middle to upper middle limits. (LHE)

vegas: better rake, cheaper standard of living, but removed from society
la: higher rake, more expensive to live, but a nicer place to live

discuss.
