I'm trying to determine where I'll play NL during the world series. If you had to rank the best casinos for 1/3, 2/5, and 5/10nl, how would you rank them? Surely some casinos will have good 1/3 but no 5/10. Also, what is the best casino overall for cash games during the series? I'm assuming the RIO may be decent since the tournaments are there, but suspect it may not be the best for cash games.

Nowhere compares to the Sahara but it is pretty exclusive.

^This, hands down. The 2/5, 5/10 and higher action was SICK and super soft the past few years.

Good luck getting a seat.

Everywhere is good. If you want to play 5/10, you're probably only going to find games at Wynn/Bellagio/Aria/Venetian/Rio. Rio has the most game selection but the dealers are horrible and it's hand shuffle + higher rake so that will hurt your overall hourly. You'll be fine though pretty much everywhere, it will just be a matter of personal preference where you end up playing.

I played cash at the Rio once. Every other time I play at Aria or somewhere else. You don't get comps at the Rio and the environment sucks.

Get the Bravo poker app for info on which place is running the games you're looking for.

Regarding the "best" place to play:

-Depends on your definition of best

-Also, if you have to ask...

Sick! Glad to hear they got that going. I was worried they wouldn't have enough people. I'll definitely be checking it out when I go in May.

first - you are allowed to try different rooms I'd move around and find a good one
second - not a fan of rio its like playing in circus tent

1/3 and 2/5 should be good anywhere for 5/10 you'll need to hit the bigger rooms but get the bravo app and you can check real fast

Observation: the guy asking about the softest 1/3 games has never played nor will be playing, at least in the near future, 5/10NL.

Assuming you'll most likely be playing 1/2 or 1/3 and 2/5 the answer is...choose your casino. The "softest low-level NL game in town" is question is frequently asked, but can never really be answered. It just depends on the makeup of your given table on any given day.

If there truly was a "softer" room for any period of time, the sharks would circle and the game would soon become a tougher game. Nature abhors a vacuum, they say.

How many players are both looking to play 5/10 and also don't know where to play 1/2 or why it doesn't matter? Not meaning to derail, but...er...ya.
