Help for my 1st Vegas trip

[cubbieblue]

i'm a first-time poster, LONG time lurker. i am going on my 1st trip to Vegas and wanted to know if you think it's wise for me to play small stakes cash games or stick to small stakes tournies. my friends (who i think aren't very good players) think that i will lose all my money if i play $2-4 cash games (i don't want to play $1-2 b/c i've read from many people that too many people call with anything).

about my poker background, i play frequently where i live - mostly home tournies. i play small stakes online. i've read several poker books including HOH, Sklansky. I do pretty well when i play. even when i don't win, i come close. i'm known as a solid, tight aggressive player.

i would appreciate any constructive advice. i don't think i'd be in over my head if i played $2-4, but i feel that you guys have more experience than my friends who i don't think really know how to play (i.e. they think any Ace-high hand is good...). thanks!
