First trip to Vegas
Hey, I'm an internet newb that's turning 21 next week and I'm making a trip down to Vegas. I'll be staying at the Bellagio Sunday the 22nd through Thursday the 26th.
I'm bringing 6k in cash and am a good limit hold'em player, I have less than 24 hours of live poker experience though. My plan was to play 15 at the Bellagio, and maybe 30 if I'm feeling gambooly. Any other poker rooms/games around that size that I should be checking out? (I won't have a car FWIW.) Any sights I should be sure to hit within the city limits? What chips are the 15 and 30 played with, red (5) and green (25)? |

The 15-30 is played with red $5 chips. The 30-60 is played with blue $10 chips. Both are 2-3 blinds.

Probably the only other rooms consistently spreading limit games around those levels would be Wynn and Mirage.

Bring more money. Play higher. If u've hit a bad run or something, then i think u'd be fine to start at 30/60. Just drop down if u lose 50 bb. Is the 6k ur spending money too?

Play 8/16 at Wynn, with 2 dollar chips at some point (or really any 4 chip game), so so so much fun. |

Lots of people are just there to show off how tough they are with their big stacks of chips and long staring contests. My advice: bring more than 6k and play as high as you can. If I knew you better I'd offer to take half of you cuz you will probably have 3+ bb/100 edge even in 60/120. Also, you will probably find that vegas is a bit of a miserable place, particulalry when all ur doing is hanging out around bellagio poker room. Try and get off strip for a while--donk around in a craps game in downtown, go swimming in lake mead, and/or go eat thai food at a local restaurant. |
