First time fears in a brick&mortor Casino

[PoKeRFoRNiA]

There are people who visit here/Vegas from throughout the world...they try to play like they see on tv w/o realizing what is shown on tv is just a snapshot of what occurs throughout an entire game/session; these players will play ATC & bet/call to the river (hoping to hit their miracle cards), the BEST way to take advantage of this is to adj play accordingly (or ask the floor to move to another table if you consider the play too wild).

One night we were @ a table with some visitors from Germany, they argued with the dealer about running it twice...but they saw it on High Stakes Poker so they knew it was allowed, uh, no.

The top 3 favorite places to play are the Venetian, the Wynn, & the Bellagio otherwise you may be better off playing @ Red Rock if you wish to play the locals.

I'm ok with donkeys who call with any two cards to see the flop to make some miraculous flop. I'm used to it. I have special strategy for those type of people. Not only are there those type of players in vegas, there are those types of players online. There are many of those social workers who come to casino to play for entertainment. I'm just hoping there aren't morons or assholes who criticize my play, rant, etc. I'm fed up and sick and tired of those b.s. I used to go to Hollywood Park Casino, Hawaiian Gardens, Bicycle casino. I can't stand it. Not only are those cardrooms horrible, there are too many LA-stuckups who think they know everything and criticize.

TY. I'll most likely be sleeping at Planet Hollywood. My roommate's friend is a blackjack player who plays $25 minimum tables and also has VIP benefits for being a frequent gambler at that casino. Thank you for recommending me good casinos to play in. Because I was definitely not planning to play at Planet Hollywood. I wanted to play at Bellagio or Rio. I'll keep Bellagio, Wynn, Venetian, and Red Rock in mind. How's Caesar's Palace?

pokerlovesme, I knew the LA players were agressive but I thought it was limited to the actual card playing...no reason to be ranted @ or criticized. Before Vegas, we lived in San Diego & played @ the Indian casinos there; players are much more laid back (as most San Diegans tend to be anyway) so our SoCal experiences were much different than yours.

I was re-reading a poker book earlier & the author suggested a really good comeback to the table coaches (y'know the ranters & ravers) --> ask where to pick up their book...I don't think I have the cajones to try that in a b&m but I may type it in the chat the next time I get called a donk & told how I should play.

I haven't stayed @ Planet Hollywood but if the hotel is anything like their timeshare towers then you will have some very nice digs...enjoy your stay! If you're into clubbing, I would not suggest any of the clubs @ PH right now, one of them got in trouble with Metro (LVPD) so a close watch is being kept on them for now. PH does have a really good strip location, you'll be across the street from the Bellagio & the new MGM CityCenter; Caesars Palace is right next door to the Bellagio.

I haven't been to the Caesars Palace poker room so I'm unable to provide a recommendation. The Rio is a bit loud for me, they must have their slot machines turned up on high or something & the ding, ding, ding echoes throughout the place. We primarily play @ the Wynn, although my excursions have decreased since I've been playing NLH online lately (in b&ms I play Limit). The poker room employees @ the Wynn are top notch (as are all the employees who work there)!

Sorry for the thread takeover Gamble1996...
