I was out there a month ago and didn't play nearly as much poker as I would have liked. However, Bellagio was a fantastic setting, and I'm glad I played there just to say I did, but the competition seemed stiff at 4-8 compared to east coast games. If it wasn't for one player absolutely bleeding chips who was a sucker for the turn check-raise, I might not have won at all. Next step up there is to 8-16.

Didn't get to Mirage, but I'm told it's a good room with good games. No difference in play between the 3-6 and 6-12; in fact the 6-12 players probably should be playing 3-6 but their ego won't let them.

Binions was great to visit for the hype value of being there, but it looked like a shark tank, not to mention run down. One fellow I played with at Bellagio said the 4-8 at Luxor was juicy. I didn' t play with him long enough to get a feel for what he might consider soft, though.

I'm also told that the Monte Carlo is a nice hotel with nice games, but have no details.

There are many good options center strip or south. I stayed at the Flamingo, which was nice and well located, if a bit old. It had some poker tables going, but no 'room' to speak of, and I didn't play. Bally's is very nice and also well located.

You should read the twoplustwo.com boards for a great resource.

Thanks, ex post. That is quite helpful. Unfortunately MGM doesn't have a poker room, so I need to investigate the other strip options.
