MGM Vegas ?
Planning to go out to Vegas soon, and will be staying at the MGM Grand. Probably on a Fri.-Mon.
I'm interested in playing $4-8 hold em' and $2-10 stud. Do they still run these two games ? What can I expect from these two games on a weekend ? |

Re: MGM Vegas ?
The search function is your friend.
MGM is one of the top 4 rooms on the Strip (along w/Mirage, Bellagio, and Wynn) You'll have no trouble finding those games and limits. |

Re: MGM Vegas ?
I was there two weeks ago - played a lot of 2/4 & 3/6. Daily NL tournament and tables took up a lot of tables. I do not recall ANY 4/8 tables specifically and in the "wee" hours it was 2/4, 3/6 and NL only. Room is nice but not that big.
If you are staying there, join Players Club for $1 hr food credit. BFD. But, my wife played enough slots to get us one night off our room bill and 1 free meal + my food credits. |

Re: MGM Vegas ?
Expect fishyness from the limit hold'em games, including 4-8. Expect not to find 2-10 stud at all.

Hero: Yeah, I was getting really lucky. Poker is so much fun! Local: How did you end up? Hero: Oh I dunno, up about a rack Local: Well, good job quitting while you were ahead. See, a lot of tourists can't do that, and that's good for me because then I just clean them up. <insert 'eye-rolling' emoticon> When I was there, there was 2/4, 3/6, and 6/12. I can't imagine that any one of them would be tough at any time. |

Re: MGM Vegas ?
Played there twice in July. They had 4-8 w/half kill one nite and w/full kill the next. Both were fairly soft, as in calling down with middle/bottom pair, but some didn't care for the full-kill since we had a maniac or two (not happy, so move to another table). One afternoon/evening it seemed to take forever to get the 6-12 game started. I lost like 12bb, but didn't think anyone at the table usually played above 10-20. Concur it's an above average room, I liked it.

Re: MGM Vegas ?
2-10 stud hasn't been spread in a while(at least during the night shift when I'm there). Weekends usually get the 6-12, and 10-20 games going, but not the weekdays. Weekdays usually feature the 4-8 maniac games...

But I recently discovered that putting stuff in quotes is useless, while using "+" improves results 1000%. For instance: +vegas +airfare will probably get you good results. Once I discovered this, I started using the search quite a bit more. |
