Low limit stud and Omaha in Vegas

1-5 Stud High goes frequently at Venetian

It's not there anymore. The stud regulars in town have told people they got "thrown out" of the V because the comps going out were more than the rake coming in. The game's at the Mirage now.

Omaha High 4/8 with half kill goes all the time at Boulder Station

This game can be nerve-racking. It basically goes "Minimum 6+ people see flop, all stay for the turn no matter the cost, majority stay for the river no matter the cost (but still minimum 4+ people in the pot, easy), first person betting river wins as all the missed miracle-hunters/draws fold."

Basically, in this game you have to hit the flop hard and just bet it all the way. HUGE pots and swings. Last time I played I won my first hand and was instantly up $150.

Does the Plaza still have a 1-4 stud game?

Benefits to playing the 1-3 stud game at the el cortez.

1) If you are a college student you will immediatly find your american history knowledge from 1918-2006 double in one day.

2) Gain an appreciation of "The Clean Air Act"

3) Learn the proper way to cut a cigar.

4) Make friends with the casino owner who might let you play pan with him.

5) It's a truly life changing experience

Negatives

4 dollar rake on a 1 dollar pot (snicker)
You might be a tough guy but 9 80 year old men with cane's will win in the end.

Didn't the Excalibur get a 1-5 game? I remember playing there 2 years ago and they had multiple games.

Excal doesn't get Stud going any more.

El Cortez has a $2.50 rake, lowest in town, last time I checked (within the last year). Has it gone up?

Didn't realize stud left Venetian. Can't blame them for killing that game. It always looked pretty miserable over there, especially with the rolls of quarters some locals brought for tips.

How about the 2/4 stud game at Sam's Town?

They had two tables going on a Saturday afternoon 2 years ago, but no player under 70. Did the game die off?

Also, Binion's still has 4/8 Omaha, don't they?
