Yes it's $40. I've actually seen a couple of people there buy in for $40, play for a double-up or two, and then actually play very well once they get a deeper stack and run it close to four figures, although obviously the more common scenario is people buying in that low will lose it pretty quick. Just an thought, but it's possible the $40 minimum may not only bring in people who wouldn't want to buy in for more, but might cause people to feel more comfortable buying in for something like $100 where they might buy for, say, $150 at a $100 min-$200 max table.
As recently as a few years ago they were running $50 max games at Luxor and $100 max games at IP and a few other places. Kind of miss having the variety, although I almost never played there.
