Recent low-mid level games in Vegas
While this topic comes up quite a bit, it's also a situation that seems to be in a bit of flux of late, so I'm hoping for input from some Vegas locals and recent visitors. I'll be in Vegas next week, looking to play mostly Hold 'Em - limit 4/8 up to 5/10 kill (if offered) and NL 1/2 and 2/5. After reading here and allvegaspoker, I have a few room-specific questions.
1) How are games really going lately at the Venetian, and what are they spreading reliably? Has the no rake promotion actually made the room a rock garden? 2) Will WPT affect the number of tables given to ring games at the Mirage in general, and do you expect it will diminish specifically the number of lower level tables? 3) Does the Aladdin 5/10 kill still run? If not, does any other room offer one? 4) Are MGM games really as good as most reports indicate? Thanks to any and all helpful responses.

[/ QUOTE ] you'd think there would be more action today was the $2500NL tourney and I just called and they have one 2/5NL game going the other two nights, both 1 games, and a 4 handed 5/10NL game...also some 4 handed 40/80 but the room is hardly busy unless you wanna play 3/6 to OP...to address your initial questions [ QUOTE ] 1) How are games really going lately at the Venetian, and what are they spreading reliably?

[/ QUOTE ] yes...the venetian has picked up but it is ALL LOCAL ROCKS minus a few tourists staying in the room at this point...the fact I've seen the same faces 4 out of my last 5 trips there says something about the clientele they've surely attracted the freeroll seeking nitty type [ QUOTE ] MGM [/ QUOTE ] that place has two strikes in my book, I've been there twice and both times have been dissapointing... my final attempt will be on a weekend, if no good, I'll never return to that place

It may be okay since I'll probably be at 6/12. No 40 game for me. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] I played 4/8 at the Venetian on Sunday afternoon from about 4PM until about 7PM. It was certainly not a rock garden. It was unusual to see less than 5-way action, usually it was 6 or 7 to the flop. There were several family pots, too, and I can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

I played 4/8 [/ QUOTE ] I shouldve mentioned that I've been playing both 2/5 and 5/10NL, not 4/8 (and would 4/8 ever be a rock garden? goes without saying)

Re: Recent low-mid level games in Vegas
I just got back from Vegas, I played at Mandalay, TI, and MGM Personally I loved the action at MGM, The dealers were good, cocktail service was pretty good. The players ranged from chip spewing fish to out-of-towners with a couple of nits thrown in for good measure.
