1) Does it pretty much run all the time or just busy times like nights and weekends?


[/ QUOTE ]

It depends. Sometimes its always there, sometimes not. Fortunately its an easy walk to $8-16 and $15-30 games at Wynn and Bellagio.

2) How many games of this limit do they usually get going?


[/ QUOTE ]

Usually 1 or 2.

3) How does the game usually play? If it is going during the weekdays is it a complete rock garden?


[/ QUOTE ]

Again it depends. And just cause the game is a rock garden does not mean it is a bad game. Rocks can suck at poker also.

Also, I have heard The Wynn 8/16 and 15/30 play pretty tight and have lots of good local players so It's probably just better to play these at Bellagio.

Wynn $8-16 is filled with morons. Its a good game. The $15-30 is tougher than Bellagio's $15-30, but it's also beatable. If you have time, its worth playing at both. If not, stick to Bellagio.

15-30 at Bellagio is very soft as well

Having been there this weekend, I can confirm this -- particularly, it turns out, if I am sitting in it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Sounds like the Bellagio 15-30 will probably be the first place I'll try. Is there a 20-40 there or is the next jump to 30-60?

[Jeffage]

Bellagio has 15-30 and 30-60 (no 20-40). Mirage has 20-40 sometimes, not 24-7 though.

Bellagio 15/30 is most likely to be a good game IMO, but you could get there and be stuck on a two-hour wait list. You could also get seated right away...but don't be surprised if you're waiting.

I'd start at Mirage and walk down to Bellagio if you don't like the action there. You'll be treated better at Mirage as well, and you don't have to beg for a food comp.

Mirage has changed their food comp to be much more stingy. Now U have to play two days for 4 hours or more. The 20/40 plays usually in the evenings only at the mirage. Unlike the 10-20 tables, it rarely ever is a soft game. It is not unusual to see half the table with 2-4K dollars.

Bellagio goes 15-30, 30-60, and then 100-200, 300-600, etc.
The wait is only bad during peak times. I usually park at the 8-16 or 4-8 waiting. Obviously the 4-8 typically is a no foldem holdem table, so u should play your strong hands very agressively.

the Wynn does not regularly spread 20/40. Its usually the same 10/20 guys that try to start up the game, but it does not run all the time. The 10/20 doesn play like a 20/40..no buy in cap.

I don't have tons of experience in this game, but in the 8-10 times I've played it, I don't remember it being tough. It usually ranges from good to great, but I'm sure regulars would be able to comment in more detail.

Comps at the Mirage are fairly easy to get. All you have to do is ask "who do i ask for a comp" and tip them $1-2 for a $15 food comp. They will most likely ask you what game you are playing and if it's 10/20 or 20/40 they hand it over no questions asked.

As per the games, the 20/40 game at Mirage is prob the softest game in the city...espescially on the weekends. Many loose/passive players who call, call and usually fold on the river.Haven't played the 10/20 game there much.

30/60 at Bellagio is also good during the weekends, rock solid during the week. Way too many regulars who are grinding out a few hundred each session.

15/30 at Wynn is also a good game. I'd rate it as the toughest game relative to the 15/30 Bellagio and 20/40 Mirage.
