    Aria hands down for me. Very good action there but you have to play poker and be patient, more good players there.

    Planet Hollywood second. More of a relaxed vibe and looser bettors at the table. Seen a ton of chasers there. I like to play there after 11 PM.

    Same here for binions. I think the tourneys are good and as there are normally a few of us those that get knocked out early just jump into a live game.

    They did when I was there in November, but it may have been a promotion. They also had a promotion where if you played 4 hours during the day you got a dinner buffet. Right now they have a $50 rake back for 10 hours of play. They treat there players right. It is too bad the room is not more popular.

    Low Limit Poker Tournament?

    The poker rooms you named - Caesars', Bellagio, and Venetian - all good rooms. My personal favorite is the room at Wynn.

    But if you're a first time player or looking to goof off - Stratosphere has the best low limit tournaments. $45 buy-in, $20 rebuy. Blinds raise slower than any tournament in the city, so you really get your money's worth. 11am, 7pm, 11pm. 11am you start with slightly more chips. 7pm has free pizza at the first break. 11pm fewest players - usually just two tables.

    I love the daily, morning tourney at the M. The 2 o'clock was also great until they did away with it.

    I played at Planet Hollywood in February and had a blast.

    Venetian has a great atmosphere.

    Stratosphere can have a fun game at night, ppl always seem pretty cool

    When Bills was open I had the most fun in my many trips to Vegas in their poker room one night. I don't think my gin n tonic was ever empty plus everyone at the table was a blast.

    My personal favorite is Bellagio (the casino you win at is usually your favorite).

    Venetian I love the drink service. Top shelf type liquor for free. Fuji water for free. Why does it taste so much better? Water is water???

    Don't play drunk at these places. On the other hand, you usually won't find to many drunks to take advantage of their. The lower class (used because I cant think of a better word selection) casinos you can take advantage of the drunks in 1/2 no limit poker.

    Haven't played Aria, but I will in 2 weeks.

    Also, what makes a poker room to me is beautiful ladies. The ones that touch me. As in massage. I love poker room massages.

    The RIO has male cocktail servers but not in the poker room and they predictably seem like they aren't into women.

    True that Rio is not gender biased on cocktail servers, but their servers/system was pretty efficient in my experience. So I'm cool with it, even though I'd rather stare at women...lol

    Wynn, Caesers, Aria, and Orleans, usually end up playing where I,m staying then you dont have to drive/cab it back to your room at 3-4-5 in the morning.:beer:

    I've always found that the "best" (1-2) games on the weekend were at the MGM. But since they messed with there poker room for the last year this may not be the case any more. Otherwise the tourneys at PH with guaranteed 1k for 1st are pretty good.

    I only played at Aria and Venetian when I was out there a few weeks ago. Aria just had sick action pretty much all the time. Venetian is my go to just b/c I have a history with the room.
