It's been going a long time - my point is that I see no reason why a game in Vegas wouldn't be sustainable if you got together a sufficiently broad and deep (pocket) player base.

It doesn't exist is why. Vegas isn't the hotbed of high stakes poker and professional poker players that the WPT leads you to believe. With a few exceptions of bigger games, the money is in LA or the midwest. Toursist dont' want to ply for 25k a night in poker. They want to play their blackjack/hooker money on a poker table. This is a tourist based area. People aren't specifically coming here to play poker, it's a side event like a show, dam tour, swimming, et al..

SO yes, I see every reason why a game like that won't be sustainable in this town. There is exactly one regulary 10/20 NLHE in Vegas (Bellagio), and two regular 5/10's (W and B) with an occasional one at Caesars/Venetian.

I played in a 1/2 blind 5 to come in $500 max game at Caesars Las Vegas yesterday. The game lasted a couple of hours in the afternoon. I am not sure that the room could sustain that game regularly, since three of us there were forum buddies in town for the weekend and I am not sure the game would have gone without us.
