Calling all las vegas regs! - help a noob!

syphilaids

Hey folks,
Haven't been around much, but I'm back baby!

So I recently won 1500 bucks on Full Tilt, so I'm going to vegas with a few friends! (I was hammered in a $3 rush rebuy)

So all you regs, I need some quick advice!

1. Best tournaments to play in (looking for largest prize pool with the lowest buy-in, thats how I roll)
2. Best cash games to play ( juiciest donkies other than myself)
3. Cheap sights/attractions we should do for my buddy's 30th. We have shooting guns lined up at the gun shop. (we're not into dance clubs)

Thanks folks! I hope you're all doing well!

P.S. I leave thursday so yeah i know this is last minute

I just know the MTT schedule.

Venetian Deepstack is going on right now (noon starts) which is the highest prizepool youll get right now for a 300-400 BI.

Smaller is likely the 7pm Aria or Caesars for 110, which get similar sized fields on weekdays.

No.

What Wetts said - VDS, but be prepared to lost a day and a half (or even 2 days) to take it down. If you only want to lose 1 day, then Aria Daily is probably your next best bet.

Have a look through numerous trip reports here, a wealth of info...

what limits are you looking to play in cash games? Here are my picks. I usually just play cash when in Vegas.

1/2 or 1/3 - Venetian, PH, MGM
2/5 + - Venetian, Bellagio, Wynn

PH is a smaller room but its a funner atmosphere than some of the other casinos. I usually only play at the nicer rooms. Bellagio gets a bad rap as I find there are lots of tourists at that poker room. Some like Aria as well but I find it too off the main strip.

If you are playing tournaments at the Venetian, I think you will find plenty of action in their poker room or across the street at the Wynn.

Thanks for all the advice folks!
I think we'll hit the 7pm at Caesars or Aria. I don't know how well I can compete against a deepstack series in vegas....
Thanks for the link Triggs! this will help a lot.

As for cash we'll probably hit 1/2 or 1/3 tables. Does anyone have advice about casinos in downtown las vegas? Unfortunately we're staying there....

Yeah they are all shitholes. Golden Nugget has no max at their cash games and take a drop whether you see a flop or not.

El Cortez for cheap craps, just don't give any panhandlers any money on the way, otherwise they will be playing beside you.
