Low limit stud and Omaha in Vegas

[Honest Iago]

Where are the best places to find good low limit stud and Omaha high-low games in Vegas? I know sites like all Vegas poker.com will say that a lot of places offer them, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll actually be spread. Also, I know 1-5 stud at the Mirage is frequently played without an ante, making it incredibly stupid.

Bad news about Las Vegas stud

5-10 and 10-20 games don't go anymore at the Mirage. The 15-30 game goes at the Bellagio.

You should check out the latest updates on allvegaspoker.com just below the old "games offered" information is a brand new section that shows what games are often spread, regularly, occasional, and buy ins for NL/PL games.

As for stud 1-5 only at the Mirage, 15/30 and up at bellagio.

Omaha Hi low: Palace Station, Orleans, Sunset Station, Mirage (all small stakes)

Stud is so very very dead. Mirage is the only hope I know of for 1-5 stud. Not sure how much hope there is of that anymore, either. Larger limits are at Bellagio.

Mirage 5/10 and Orleans 4/8 are the only hope I know of for Omaha8 (on/near the strip, anyway). Larger limits at Bellagio and Wynn.

I played 2/10 spread limit stud in Caesars this summer, but the game never had more than 6 players. They tried to get a 3/6 O8 game going also, but the list wasn't big enough. Nothing to get excited about, but at least they tried.

For Omaha hi/low I have played at the Orleans 4/8 with a half kill, Mirage 5/10 with a full kill, and Wynn 6/12 with a kill. Games at Orleans and Mirage usually are going. Orleans was populated by mostly grumpy old nits, though not necessarily good players. When I played in the Mirage game on a weekday it was a rock garden populated only by nut-peddaling regulars. However I played it a couple of busy weekend nights when it was great. I only played the Wynn game once, and it was hard to get the game started and played short for much of the time. My understanding is that they regularly spread a 10/20 game now.

Omaha High 4/8 with half kill goes all the time at Boulder Station
1-5 Stud High goes frequently at Venetian

As others have said, AVP has some updated info as well.

would you give us a little more info? I hate to ask if it is a "good" because "good" is very subjective. I asked someone once if a game was good and he said "It is a great game, the best players here all play it, but all you have to do is raise preflop and you get the blinds almost everytime!" Not quite my definition of a "good" game.

Do you have any details? Like is it the same group everyday, etc.? I assume the average age is like 90 and they complain constantly but that is just the nature O/8.

"V" has a 6/12 half kill hi/lo that goes everyday.
Soft game and younger crowed (under 90) playing this one.
