Stuck in LA tonight - where to play?
 

Courtesy of the airlines, I am spending the night in LA.

What's the best way to get to Commerce for LAX? I'm looking to play mid-stakes limit (20/40 to 40/80 or so), though I might give some NL a shot. Are there better/closer alternatives to Commerce that I should consider?

Hollywood Park is located a few miles from LAX. About more than $50 of taxi fare from LAX to Commerce.

Another thing if you want to play good action and have a place to stay is Crystal Park. You can catch it via the metro rail for about $6 and then its a short walk (about 2 blocks) to the casino. No only that but there is a hotel there where you can stay for $79. If you get the players card which is free and play for a hr the rate goes to $49. Three hrs drop to $29 and seven hours the room is free.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the stakes on the limit games arent as high as you like (they only spread 3-6 and sometimes 4-8 but there is lively blue and yellow chip NL game).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the airline is at fault, Analyst is getting the room for free, yes?

Are you really recommending that some guy from out of town takes the LA subway to COMPTON (presumably at night)? Then he is to go play poker at CRYSTAL PARK? He's a good player and will likely WIN MONEY, at which time he'll have to WALK TWO BLOCKS THROUGH COMPTON AT NIGHT WITH A POCKETFUL OF CASH???

Have you no love for this man?

I srsly have to go sometime just for hilarity. No way am I carrying more than 300 in there though

Sorry I was out of town this weekend so I just saw this post now.

For future reference, you can rent a car in LA for as little as $18/day + tax and a one time airport fee of $15 (for using their AirTran monorail from the airport to the car rental agencies. The cheapest cars are a shuttle away (~5-10 minutes?) from the AirTran stop so you might consider a slightly more expensive car at the AirTran stop itself (they will say that they are "at the airport").

I stayed with a friend who lived just north of the airport and I found it was worth it to go to Commerce becaue the games there are unreal. I never made it to the Bike... I would drive at off peak hours so I rarely hit traffic.

Hey I didnt say I would do it... I was just leaving a recommendation (and since I work there I have to promote right?)

Me personally I would stay at a hotel near the airport and play at Hollywood Park since its the closest to the airport and should have the limits you are looking for.
