I'd imagine the games are very draw heavy (TD, Badacey, Badeucey, Archie, Chinese) but I could be wrong.
LA - prob wider selection of games/stakes/locations (including private games). Anything from 75 HOT to 2/4 BHT to 3/6 plo8, PL Big O, Archie, Badeucy, A-5 td. I heard biggest game was a PLO/2-7 td mix that was 1,500/3k in the fix limit portion, not sure in the PLO. Take it all w grain of salt, as I haven't played there in 2 years and never bigger than 1/2 so I'm going mostly by friends' info.
Vegas - generally more games in the mix ime; during non-wsop time there is a regular 80/160 that has stud h/l regular to badacey to NL 2-7 to PL Big O. I played a 1/2 fixed limit mix during wsop, but the locals that play the 80/160 choose the fix limit/big bet games pretty evenly. Again, this info is a year old. bobbys room has 4/8+ and I've no idea what's in those games. The Big Game can play from 1/2k to 4/8k and consists of 9-11 more standard games (no Archie, badeucy, badacey, or super stud 8), according to negreanu iirc. Everything is at Bellagio except for a 300/600 big bet mix at Aria that has games like PLO, Big O, PL 2-7 td, PL badugi, NL 2-7 sd etc.
Some posters know a lot more about this scene. My knowledge is limited, as I'm a tourist when playing in these games. Bc I never showed when games started, I never got any input into the mix. Maybe once I was able to request a game mid-session. But if you get there when they start, you should have some input. Big Bet games usually have a cap and limit holdem isn't always played. let us know how it goes gl
