Sapphire
Spearmint Rhino
Cheetah"s
Rick"s
Palomino

I have  "hands on" experience of these and will probably post about them a wee bit later. They all have specials for "Batchelor Nights" by the way  ;D



I hear good things about Treasures although I have no personal experience (honest Mum) but I believe that avoiding Fridays and Saturdays is best...total sausage fests..from my reading.

The subject came up in Coventry and we thought that Tuesday would be good.

Yes, I know it"s after the event but with the limited time frame that we have it seemed the best option.

Nobody planning on playing any poker then?
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Venetian Deepstack Festival

Though not yet listed I suspect the 2011 winter series to be the same or very similar to.........

The 2010 Winter Series

Why would you not have the best room in Vegas on your list - The Venetian.

If want wild, late night cash games with plenty of drunk, hobby players, then add MGM and Planet Hollywood.

Binions - understandable, particularly for the first time visiting poker player.
Flamingo - seems like an odd choice.
Golden Nugget - Nice room, the GN is definitely the pick of the downtown properties in all respects.
Belagio - Over rated, imho. Tables are too close together. $2/$5 NL is lowest stake.
Ceasars - A big, high ceilinged room remote from the gaming floor, it"s OK but I think it is lacking in atmosphere. Also due to it"s location, no one is ever just walking past and thinks to themselves, "I have an hour an hour to kill, why not play some poker?"

Of course, these are just my opinions... "different courses for different horses" and all that.

For me the Venetian was the best Poker room, and also has crazy cash games late on! The Aria looked amazing although I didn"t play there.

Also visit -
the Hoover Dam - if you haven"t seen it it"s worth a look - also scary how little water Vegas has left!
The Grand Canyon - only a few hours away, and is amazing
The Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon - Okay maybe a bit out there, but the geology is very interesting!
Visit the outside bar in the Wynn, with the waterfall, can"t remember what its called, but there was a waiting list to get out there in January.

I will be playing this.

One of the best tournaments available despite the strict rules on speech play.

Oddly...I agree with everything Alan has said here.

For me, my poker for the given week will be spent primarily in the Venetian and it"s only a short walk from Harrahs.

They are more a list to say "i done that"!

I will probably be playing mainly at whichever room has the softest low limit NLHM games
