God damn I’m excited. I’ve been looking forward to this<\/a> for two months and it’s finally here! Here’s what MT has to say about poker in Vegas…<\/p>\n

poker in las vegas is just super. my favorite places to play are the mirage, the bellagio, and the monte carlo.<\/p>\n

the mirage has a spashing 3-6 game and always has many games going. the games are usually pretty tame. the wait there is not typically not that long, though i have had to wait an hour or so before. the drinks there are spectacular. they will even serve johnie black. the only problem is that it distorts my judgement.<\/p>\n

the bellagio is cool because it is the bellagio. the lowest limit is 4-8 and there is usually a wait. it is cool to hear the floor man calling names for the 80-160 game in the background.<\/p>\n

i played a lot at the monte carlo last time i was there and did well there. they have a great 4-8 game with blinds of 2 and 1. they also have 2-4 game with one $1 blind. they also have high hand prize money. in one game i played in two people won $500 each for having four of a kind. they have a small room, but the wait was not that long.<\/p>\n

the excalibur is a small and fun poker room. i think they have a 1 to 4 game or so (not structured)?? if you lose there with pocket aces you get to spin a wheel for cash money!!<\/p>\n

i hated the luxor because the damn poker floorman talked me into playing a 1 to 8 game against him.<\/p>\n

binion’s horseshoe is fun because the world series is played there, but the game i played in was very serious. it seemed like a lot of regulars played there. and most in the 4-8 game were waiting for their 10-20 or 20-40 seats.<\/p>\n

i heard that many other places have also opened up rooms- my brother said bally’s had a nice poker room.<\/p>\n

do you think this is a problem that i know so much about poker in vegas? am i a bad person?<\/div>\n

I think this makes you a terrific<\/em> person. MT regularly hits up the local casinos and Vegas and makes money. <\/p>\n

Check out the post from two months ago<\/a> for HD<\/a> and Halverson’s<\/a> advice on Vegas.<\/p>\n

And if any of you are going to be there next weekend (19-21), send me a howdy<\/a>. As much as I’d like to join the big blogfest<\/a> in December, I have this suspicion I’ll be working on my finals then. I also have no idea whether next weekend’s trip will be positive or negative EV for me. If it’s negative, there goes my bankroll in one glorious flash of booze and cards! If it’s positive, you’ll never hear the end of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
