next week i'll be going to vegas for the 2nd time ever. i'll be flying there alone from the east coast, probably will be staying fro the June 13-23. I plan on grinding 2-5NL, 5-10NL (if game is good), and possibly playing some 1-3/2-5PLO at Aria. also, i will be trying to satellite into some of the wsop events if i can wake up early enough for them.

i plan on staying at the rio from 13-17, then stay somewhere cheaper on the weekend like bally's or IP. (i read the thread on IP on 2p2, but may still take a chance with it).

2 months ago when i went to vegas for the first time, i played at the Venetian and Bellagio. even tho i only played about 5 hours at venetian and about 18 at bellagio, i felt like the B was much much softer at 2-5NL. Venetian was 1k max buyin, and B was 500 max.

Q's for you guys:

1) max buyin for 5-10 NL at Bellagio? how would you rate the skill level?

2) comps at 2-5 and 5-10? $1/hr? $2/hr?

3) best place to stay on weekend to save $ other than Imperial Palace?

if anybody wants to meet up and whatever, comment or PM me.
