Just move out here last motth. What's a somewhat fancy place to take a date? Was looking at n9ne steakhouse but that might be alittle bit on the pricey side for me.

Anyone know the buyins for the 2-5 and 5-10 games at the casinos that run them midweek?

Maximums could change per casino, so I would call if you need to know each casino's max buy-in. However, general rule for me is 100 bets. 2/5NL = $500. 5/10NL = $1k. That tends to be the mean buy-in.

Yeah, I usually work on that assumption. It's just you hear people talk about uncapped games and the like in Vegas, and I also thought I'd heard about a 2-5 game with a $500-$1500 buyin... Just wondering if anyone could give me a run down off the top of their head?

They're an awful company. I'm not going to go into specifics on an internet forum. But as a casual club go-er it really has no bearing on you. They have good house DJ's and book big celebrities for their events...That's all that really matters right?

Stupid question about Vegas: where is the absolute worst part of town? Yeah, I've seen a lot of "North Las Vegas", "the alphabets", "between Stratosphere and downtown" generalities, but if you had to pick the worst of the worst, where would it be? Specifically, an intersection where you would not be caught dead walking around at 2AM on a Saturday because you might well end up dead there.

Hate it, it's like a night club for sports. There are food/booze minimums that are really high. If you want a "private" room, you gotta pay up.

I'd rather go to a sports book, where it's free to watch the games.

What's a good place (sports book) on the Strip to watch EPL games in the early morning hours (4:45am on espn, 7:30am on fsc this Saturday)?

How about the Champions League games on Tuesday and Wednesday?

And while we are at it OG or Rhino based on recent trips (last 2 months)?

Any city in america, if you on mlk, RUN. -chris rock.

You won't find a crackin environment anywhere in a strip book for epl. The lights will barely be on and there will one bartender in the area, but it will be shown at V and at W. For some reason it's sticking in my head that CL games are later in the day, in which case you can watch anywhere. but I may be wrong on that.

Planet hollywood has FSC in the rooms, albeit not in HD. EspnHD is in plenty of hotels.

20:45 CET = 11:45AM PT. Last season, at least the top game was shown at V sportsbook.
