I'm going to Vegas in two weeks - where should I play?

[djcolts]

Sorry to ask the basic question. I've done pretty well at Party 1/2 6max and 2/4 - so that is my skill level. I've never played poker at a casino before, and I don't know how to play spread-limit and don't understand what kills and half-kills are. I may bring up to around $500 as a bankroll, but we'll see. I'm staying at the Luxor - and I've read many of the reviews on allvegaspoker.com. I'm not a NL player. My "poker face" is horrible, so this could be a problem.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If you are playing low, limit games, your poker face will not matter. If you beat the low limit online games, then you should do fine live. I will let the Vegas regulars tell you where to play.

The mandalay bay has a good nice little room with the uber fun 1-2 blinds 4-8 game.

How does the betting work? Calling means $2 or $4 in the pre-flop and flop stages?

Luxor has a nice 1/2 "beginners" game. Excal has a 1-3 spread limit beginners game. Either should be fine, and you can walk back and forth between all 3 casinos (Mandalay Bay being the third). Daily, fun freezeout tourneys, too.

The rake will kill you, but if you want some LL fun, go for it.

Does anyone have any advice for someone going to vegas who wants to play NL tournaments rather than ring games? Any casinos have a lot of regular tournaments? Schedules?

Thanks

Loved the 4/8 at Mandalay with 1/2 blinds (calling takes 2, a raise makes it 6). The 2-6 spread game at Excalibur is also sweet.

preflop limp of 2 and a raise is to 6.

Downtown:

Horseshoe has two per day at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM
Union Plaza has one at 10:00 and on some nights one at midnight.
Golden Nugget has two per day at 11:00 am and I think 7:00 PM

Is the jackpot drop a big factor at the 2/6 Excalibur game?
