Going down next week to play some good games hopefully 10/20 NL and possible 25/50. Where are the best cardrooms? meaning the easiest and which ones are the nicest?

Insta-ban.OP; you're not gonna find an 'easy' 25/50 game anywhere in Vegas. Bellagio and Wynn run 10/20 pretty regularly, but, again, it's a tough game both places from all the accounts I've read.

Agreed. I watched some 10/20 and 25/50 NL cash games in several casinos where I was in Vegas and the players seem to be quite tough. Also, be prepared to buy-in really deep. On the other hand, the 5/10NL games can often be populated by at least 2 or 3 players who are clearly out of their league in those games.OP, good luck in Vegas. Try the Bellagio buffet, I liked it a lot.

Yeah, another good point..buying in for 2k at 10/20 is gonna get you worked. You'll find players at the table sitting with 10k, 20k, maybe 30k. I'd imagine a lot of 25/50 games you'd want at least 20k. Better idea might be to play the 2/5 NL at the Wynn with an uncapped buy-in. You'll find a good mix of bad players in that game, from the folks I've talked to. Or, like AcesUp, said, 5/10 with a few grand would be pretty okay.

Yeah, the smaller games with an unrestricted buy in are generally pretty juicy, and they play more like bigger games. Standard raises to as much as 10 times the big blind. I'd recommend those as well. Unless, of course, you're ****ing loaded and want to sit with 20k on the table, then by all means, play some ****ing 25/50.

First time in Vegas and your looking for 25/50nl? LOL ! These guys are gonna rip through you in a matter of minutes. They all play together every day and wait for newbies to come in.......sad but its the truth. I dealt those games every day.

The replys here are on target. Go to the Bellagio if you want big action and tough players. The 5/10 NL no cap on buy-ins are more productive.Best --Burgerman

+1 on the Bellagio buffet. to the op i dont play those stakes so i cant really comment on the level of play but the wynn and the bellagio are pbly the only places you will find those games on a cosistent basis. The wynn is nicer and treat you better but the Bellagio is the Bellagio.
