How are the 5/5 games compared to typical Vegas 1/3 games? Thanks all
I would stay near the Airport, and play at Hollywood Park. This is assuming you want to do other things besides play cards for 4 days.
There are some nice hotels on century Blvd, near airport. Its an easy cab ride or drive down Century to HPark. The higher B/I games at HP are in a smaller, nice room in the interior of the casino.
Sure, others will suggest Commerce or The Bicycle. Those are way out of town in industrial areas with no sights to see. They do have hotels attached, which does make it desirable for a poker trip only.
Staying in this neighborhood also brings in going to Hustler, which is another fine card room on Redondo Beach Blvd, probably inside of 7-8 miles from HP.
Buy ins in LA are smaller than what they are here in LV; it seems to encourage looser play by smaller stacks, resulting in more buy-ins.
