{Discuss here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...oker-36067.htm }
Going to Vegas on Thursday with some of the guys at work for memorial day weekend. Most of the guys are just going to get fall down drunk and oogle at cheap women but myself and one other fellow are both pretty serious poker players. He's been to Vegas and played the rings (And is a much better overall ring player than I am, but I bust him out sng after sng.)
Really, looking to play a ring up to about 3/6 and there's a couple of 20-40 tourneys going on as well. I've had plenty of live play in card houses and informal games. General caliber of play I've seen in most card houses is that a live game's player base is the equivalent of about a fourth or a fifth the stakes as a game on pstars. (1/1 or 1/2 up to about 2/4 games are hideously fishy in every card house I've been in.)
Can I expect this in Vegas? Any casinos you fellows recommend for rings? Caliber of player etc etc? Any places with decent SNGs? Any casinos that are particularly kind to poker players? (I know most just see poker tables as a requirement since it doesn't bring in the money like house games.)

There's lots of good stuff down in the Offline Casino part. Read Brodie's posts for sure.
I'll be out there Fri-Sun too for a bachelor party, think I'm gonna have the same problem, no other poker players.
Maybe I'll see ya at the tables.

i played that $28 luxor tourney last year and posted somewhere on here about how f'ed up it is. essentially a total waste of time, but it sounds like you really made the most out of it. congrats on the win!
i heard bally's is just a pure fishfest since it's smack dab in the middle of the casino floor. it's first on my list when i head out there next month. (i'm staying next door at paris.)

Yup, Bally's had a huge concentration of fish. Guys calling pot sized bets with bottom pair garbage kicker, all kinds of whacky stuff.
There were usually 2-3 NL 1/2 tables going (1/2 is as high as they went) and on Sundays they had 50 dollar buy in SNGs NL. (though I left on Saturday.  )
Don't underestimate the grand either, pretty dense fish population and a pretty slick location (and more tables and higher stakes), but I got paid on every big hand I had at Bally's. Every last one.
