It looks like I will be traveling to Vegas for work in April and would like to extend this trip for a week or so to grind low level NL cash games.
I do not need a fancy room, just clean and comfy and would like to spend as little as possible.
Will be playing over 10 hours a day.

Where will I get best poker rate?

Thanks

TSA always makes me hold my cash in my hand when I go through security and then they take a quick look to make sure there's nothing hidden inside the roll. Never a question about what it's for or where it came from or anything. Pretty tame actually and I'm about as anti TSA as you can get.

Personally I don't like having to partially disrobe and pour out my drink every time I get on an airplane.

My bank has a a limit of withdraw and shoul I call them to try to lift it or whast a good option? I sadly dont have chase or wells fargo or a big bank like tat

We have a small bank and always let them know when we are traveling (in case they think it's fraud) and when we need our limits increased.

Personally, I don't want to carry around that much cash.

I like poker and I like Vegas so I hang out here a lot.

Are there some other good places in 2+2 I should check out

There is usually something fun going on in NVG, I don't think I have seen you over there, so maybe you are not aware of it.

Since you like poker, search for “Trooper” or “Diesel” and you will learn to love the game.

Understood and agreed. Sorry, I was trying to be a little sarcastic.

I got a random question for the Vegas experts on here.

Which poker room is most likely to spin up a new mixed game table if requested?

Coming with a big group of friends, and if say 5 of us want to play a crazy pineapple/Big O mix, where could we go that would start up a new table dealing this (ideally open to the public too).

I know some casinos like Sahara are happy to cater for groups and these types of requests, but I think there’s not a big player pool there that would hop into the game.

Caesars Palace say they’ll spread anything with enough interest…

Keen for everyone’s thoughts!

Don't go to Poker Palace Casino expecting Hawaiian Gardens. For that matter don't go there at all.

I made my once-per-decade pilgrimage to Las Vegas earlier this week. Great to be back in the city!

I cabbed from Harry Reid to Paris on Sunday. Taxi meter showed the flat fee of $25, so I gave $27 cash.

When I took the exact same taxi trip back from Paris to Harry Reid on Sunday, the meter was showing a $35 flat fare. I paid by credit card and tipped $2 again. Here's my receipt.

Any ideas why the base flat fare was $10 higher on my return trip?
