Default Best Low Stakes Omaha 8 Games in Vegas?

Help a brother out! I'm going to be in Vegas this coming Thursday night until Monday night.

I'm willing to play 3/6 - 6/12. I want to play a loose game with at least 5 callers pre-flop. Also, any tips on best times as well would be appreciated.

O8? Just forget it, lol. All the 08 games are generally old persons nit fest in this town.

O8 games spread regularly below 10/20:
Orleans 4/8 with half kill
Mirage 5/10 full kill

um...thast all I can think of for hi/low regular games.

Palace Station also usually has a 3/6 game going. Its a little less nitty then the Orleans game, but not a whole lot.

I don't mind an O8 game full of old folks. It's the O8 games full of old folks who softplay each other but gang up on the new guy that disturb me.

My one visit to RedRock the O8 game looked pretty good, actually. Not so old, not so nitty. But I didn't sit in it.

the orleans 4/8 O8 game is decent, and wynn occasionally has 6/12... and that wasnt bad either.

"Softplaying each other" seems pretty common -- plenty of these guys have been playing with each other for many years and are in relax-and-play-cards mode, not explore-thin-valuebetting mode. Therefore there are some explicit and implicit agreements to not bet hard at each other.

"Ganging up on the new guy" seems very rare. I haven't seen anything collusive in my considerable time at Vegas O8 tables, though I haven't played the games mentioned in the OP.

OP: I wouldn't worry about being colluded against. Omaha regulars can be cranky but many are very pleasant older gentlemen, especially if you don't come across as a smug Internet punk.

This is consistent with I've seen. Definitely not nitty, in fact it's mind-numbingly loose. You'll get your 6 or 7 callers every flop.

I can't recall ever having played at Red Rock without at least one of these tables going.

Caesars has been spreading 3-6 or 4-8 with kill nearly everynight over the past month or so.
