Vegas low to midstakes games
I went through the FAQ (great post on tournies btw) and made an attempt at searching but failed to find what I was looking for.
I'm going to Vegas for the first time starting next Saturday. I'm a 1/2 player online and unfortunately have to stick with 1/2 - 2/4 playing live in Vegas for bankroll liquidity issues. If I have a nice run I will definitely sit at 5/10. What are some good places to play? I've heard of there being an uncapped 1/2 game, but I can't remember where it is. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Vegas low to midstakes games
Pick any game with an open seat, seriously. You didn't specify if you are referring to limit or NL. There are no 1/2 limit or 5/10 limit games, very few 5/10 NL games, no 2/4 NL games other than Mandalay and that doesn't run often.
Uncapped 1/2: Golden Nugget and Wynn.

Re: Vegas low to midstakes games
Wow, I made a terrible OP...
by "good" games I'm referring to: 1. Atmosphere 2. Staff professionalism 3. Rake - I'm not a huge fan of raising pre-flop only to bet into a completely dry pot on the flop. 4. softness (although not really a concern at low stakes, as Photoc said I can pick virtually any seat) 5. Vicinity to where I am staying (Caesar's, but they are running the Caesar's classic and might not have many cash games going, not sure).

CP should have plenty of side games going. There was a lot of action during the National Headsup Championship.

Very sorry... I'm talking about NL. So it basically goes 1/2 then 5/10 as far as NL is concerned? [/ QUOTE ] live poker usually doesn't have 2/4...they have 2/5 instead MGM is my favorite 2/5 place...they also have 1/2 and 2/5 running 24/7
