Looking for the best casino for a 4 day trip with the GF. Here’s the needs list:

10/20 - 25/50 NL. Looking for about 10k max buy in
Open air friendly, no mask requirement
Nice suites, spa, shopping (for the GF)
Any city will work but preferably Vegas or AC

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Assume this is a 4day weekend trip. 25-50NL is often private or home games. Even 10-20 won’t go everyday in places where it ever goes.

Only reasonable choice in AC will be Borgata. Vegas will have Wynn, Bellagio, maybe Aria. Shopping definitely better on LV strip but LV does have masks currently

Another option, maybe what I would pick, is Seminole Hardrock Hollywood (Ft. Lauderdale). Weekends should have 10-20 usually, in house shopping is ok but not LV level, no masks.

Otherwise you are not going to routinely find those stakes outside of SoCal.

If you drop down to uncapped 5-10 games, which can easily play as big as 10-20, more choices may open up

Even Borgata in AC (which is the only real option) does not (usually) have 10-20 NL or 25-50NL. Highest I've seen is 5-10 except on big/holiday weekends.
Not much to do in AC vs Vegas.
On the plus side, if you choose AC then you probably won't have to worry about entertaining your girlfriend in future poker trips....

I agree not much for GF to do in AC. I much disagree about LV. I don’t know about this particular lady, but in general LV has much to do. If shopping is her thing, hinted at in op, LV has that.

The only place that runs higher limit games more regularly, with plenty of shopping around and the nicest suites is the Bellagio Las Vegas

You may want to look into Hustler in LA and perhaps play on their livestream? You can also contact The Lodge and TCH to see when games that size are running if you wanted to give Texas a try .. They have streams as well so you can look at your own play.

Games may have slowed down in Vegas now that the Series is over, but you can use Bravo and Poker Atlas Apps to look into what's going on.

Plenty of shopping in Vegas on Strip, some repeat stores, but Cesar, PH, Venetian, Aria and most other have some 'mall' of sorts to walk through. GL

I left Las Vegas about 2 weeks ago and mask requirements in all indoor places including casinos were in effect due to Governor mandate. The exception was WSOP tourneys and i guess cash games because vaccinations were required.

Personally I was grateful because even though I am vaccinated and my wife is vaccinated, she is immune compromised so we want to minimize the chances of her getting Covid. She asked me to wear a mask when I played and I found a mask KF94 that has a little separation above the nose that allowed me to wear glasses without fogging up. I bought 10 online for about $16 from company named Good Day (made in Korea).
