    Best poker room in Vegas?
    Ive spent more time in the Bellagio than anywhere. They always have a 5/10 nl game going and some good limit games. Every casino has tournaments but most are like 40-100 dollars. Id like to find some 500+ sit n go games going on somewhere. Anyone know where I can find some higher stakes limit games other than Bellagio? Also some good tournaments?

            Sit n Gos here are generally only found in the $60-$125 range. Not many rooms like to spread them since their cash games generate more revenue. You do find them from time to time. However, the rake is ridiculous (usually $100+) and there is virtually no play in them since the house wants them to end quickly. Along with Dodif's suggestions of the Venetian and Wynn, you may want to try Caesars and the Mirage.

              As for tournaments, the Venetian and Caesars have some of the best structures on the strip. The Orleans also has a great tourney nightly at 7 PM. The Friday NL tourney there is one of the best values in town.

                  Some good suggestions here. Honestly for limit games in your range is tough to beat the Bellagio.

                    I like the Wynn for a few reasons:

                    No max buy in (even @ the $1/$3 NL).

                    And the poker rate is the best deal going. $129 a night Sun-Thur and $199 for Fri/Sat for a 5 star hotel and 6 hours of play a day? Pure Gold.

                    Hot waitresses and a classy poker room too.

                            yea, I play the 200s at full tilt and did on stars for awhile til I finally went on tilt and lost all my money there. I havent tried cake poker, I thought that was a little gay, them sending cakes in the mail.

                                    You gonna play any wsop circuit events or the main event? Im gonna look into getting into the 1500 buy in at the world series. I wouldnt play the main event even if I did have the 12 gs to put up.

                                        MGM has good games. I usually play NL lower stakes there. Its easy money. 1/2 or 3/5

                                                the place to play is the Luxor or Flamingo if you want the easiest 2/4 limit game and all the free booze you can drink. Man I miss those rooms, half the people just brag about how drunk they can get before they lose their $100 bank roll, and how they used to lose $100 in BJ before they got more than 1 drink. Mandalay Bay also has a soft 2/4 NL game, but you have to be prepared to put your whole stack in pre-flop. There is a lot of all ins preflop.

                                                    I played in the 2/5 game there everyday a few years back for about six months and the games were almost always good... lots of tourist with money and not as many sharks and regulars as the wynn and the bellagio... I would assume the games are still good there although I haven't been to Vegas in a couple years...

                                                    If you are looking for bigger sngs you might look at the sats at WSOP if you're going to be there during that time as I believe they pay you in tourney chips that are easily sold and just as good as cash....

                                                        for poor entertainment value you can beat the small rooms at the "B" joints around town... The Sahara, the Plaza, and El Cortez are few dumps I've played in where the other players are more fun then game... Plus if you can't beat this games drunk or stoned you probably shouldn't be playing poker...
