Title: Las Vegas Visit Post by: Tinsel Town on October 22, 2006, 05:34:37 PM Afternoon all,
I'm going to Vegas in three weeks for the first time. Can anyone give advice on the best places to play NLHE? I've looked at this site but it's a bit confusing. http://www.allvegaspoker.com/tournaments.php I'm hopng to play tourneys and SnG's if possible. However maybe $1/$2 at a pinch. I'm staying at the MGM in the south strip Any help or advice would be appreciated Thanks Td Th Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: bazzabhoy on October 22, 2006, 06:07:48 PM hi tinsel im staying at the imperial palace from the 12th november..when you there....i have it on good authority the imperial palace card room is very good with plenty of action,as well as being friendly...hope to see you there

They run a few different games which attracts novices who have seen poker on Telly and love calling an allin with Ahrt rag. You can make a lot of money with the 2-4 and 3-6 limit (honest everyonewants to see the flop). The main event is the $1-2 $200 NLHE max buyin, best time of day is after 3:00 am when your wide awake and the other players are generally pretty drunk. If you want to play in class venues with frankly stronger opposition:
Most of all have fun, a visit downtown to the horseshoe is also a must they do some low buyin tourneys, just to to say you've been there. Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: Claw75 on October 22, 2006, 07:36:32 PM I played $1/$2 NL at Caesar's Palace when I was there in April/May. I have to say I thought the standard was poor. I'm a total fish at cash, but I still managed to turn a profit.

Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: Woodsey on October 23, 2006, 12:48:08 AM I wouldn't bother with the imperial palace for games, there are other better places. Venetian, MGM, Bellagio and wynn are all pretty good and plenty of fish present. Good comps at venetian ($2 per hour) and if you play regularly you will get free food which is top quality, don't order from the poker menu ask for the Grand Cafe menu.

Full of locals that play like rocks all day long - unless you tilt them enough that is, then its easy pickings ;) Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: The Baron on October 23, 2006, 02:09:44 AM Seamless.
That is all. Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: Bigfella on October 23, 2006, 02:39:57 PM 11am tourneys at Harrahs (next door to Imperial Palace) are good value for $40. Nice card room too. If you get busted early in tourny, the Imperial have a 1pm tourny most days so its not too far to walk!

Go there to have fun. Get drunk, find the smallest fixed limit game you can and slowly try and get all your fellow players hammered. Along with that see if you can convince them all to play with thier cards exposed! Last time i was there we had some mamouth pissup sessions in the 2-4 FL game in the Imperial Palace, the lineup at the table stayed the same for about 8hrs 1 game i believe, the players had never had so much fun playing before. Grinding 1-2 online is fine, just don't miss out on the fun to be had! Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: M3boy on October 23, 2006, 11:06:19 PM My advice, don't go thier looking to try to beat a 1-2 game for a few hundred $'s No fun to be had in $1 $2 N/L game??????? HAHA - Just ask Pab, Gee and Mr Moves! THE BEST fun I have had playing poker ever! Title: Re: Las Vegas Visit Post by: MPOWER on October 23, 2006, 11:28:35 PM I'd play at The Orleans always a cash game with Tournements at 12pm and 7pm.
Also try the TI small card room away from it all. Regards M |
