Plaza Poker

This won't work for everyone, but it sure works for me.
On the poker pro machines about four times a day they have very cheap tournaments. Even with two rebuys, these offered the most frugal poker I've seen. I played two and a half hours after buying in for the max of $15. And while there was certainly a mix of poker abilities, the game was not dominated as I might expect by maniacs.
Across the casino was a three piece jazz band playing.
When they took a break, the piped in music was also fit for the consumption of older ears.
And drinks were comped.

My son loves poker, but did not come to Vegas with a huge bankroll, and he generally is not very good. He played almost as long as I did.
I was pushed out when I made a stab at the final table, trying to double up and secure a place in the money.

Another day we played for $9 max.

Amazing really.

I don't expect it will last.

I best enjoyed the 3-6 at Mandalay Bay and playing Pineapple in an early morning session with just a dollar rake at Monte Carlo when the 2-6 broke down to just three players as well as seeing number 2 chip guy guilted into chopping at Sam's Town when I was within a hand or two of extinction.
