star city is the main casino for poker, rake is pretty high but the games are some of the softest live games in the world! Theres also the pokerdome for smaller buy in tournaments.

Figures aren't quite accurate. Apart from this week when there is no 1/2 NL running due to the Pokernews Cup, usually there is:
~10 tables of 1/2 NL 60-80 buyin
5-10 tables of 2/3 NL 100-200 buy-in
also, 2/5 NL 200-500 buy-in, 5/10 Limit, 10/20 Limit, as well as other specialty games (pdf).
