Default Mongoloid Bay Las Vegas

Visiting Vegas for the first time.
Hear Mongoloid Bay was a great place to hang out.
How is the poker room?

I'm assuming Mandalay Bay is what you mean. I personally have never cared for their nazi'ish type rules that they keep there. It seems they have a different sent for regulars and a set for tourists/visitors.

There are better poker room choices in Vegas than Manadalay, or Mongolian.. or whatever the hell you called it.

MGM has a great room but Caesar's games seemed to have a lot more action.

lol, yeah, most locals give a knowing chuckle when you mention the Mandalay rulebook. That being said, I've heard that the policy has changed significantly in the last few months and that it is a much nicer place to play. I wouldn't know personally as I've barely played outside of the Rio this year, and not at all for the last month.

I second the MGM, best run room on the strip. If only they could get more action...

A terrific hangout for nits and angle shooters, and those who like long lists. Well known for strictly enforcing idiotic rules like the "racetrack rule" but not informing tourists of this in advance (angle shooters heaven).

although the action can be good, the few times I played there I left early because management had successfully pissed me off once again.

Plenty of rooms in town why play somewhere you don't like.

The table has a marking called the "betting line". Chips that go across are bet. Angle shoots galore surround this - calling string raises based on what crossed the line, forcing players to commit to action based on what was in their hand, etc.
