I am currently makeing plans to go out to vegas for new years this year. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or knew of any good spots to hit up while out there. I would be willing to travel a little ways while out there if anyone knew of any really good bj games. Also does anybody know how it is out there on the week of new years. Are the minimum bets really high and are there just to many people out there during that time frame to allow for a good game?
I was stuck on the Strip New Year's eve a few years ago. Never again. Terribly crowded. Minimums sky high. Worst is that after around 8 p.m., most places do not let you in unless you are a registered guest and can show a bracelet. I would recommend trying downtown (although that may be worse - get some advance info if you can) or off-Strip. Of course, the poor economy may change things, but I'm not sure I'd want to take the risk.
Thanks alot for the heads up. I did some research online and i found out the same thing. No sense in spending all that money to go out there just to end up at crowded tables and high mins. Thanks alot.
The week between the end of the NFR and Christmas is the best time to go to Vegas IMO. It's not crowded at all during that time. Don't plan on seeing a lot of shows though. And dress warm. The first few days after Christmas aren't bad either. It starts to get more crowded a few days later.
I've been there during both times. If you want to mostly play BJ, go the week before Christmas. If you want to play BJ for a day or two and then party, go the day after Christmas and stay through NY. NY in Vegas is a blast, (if you're into that sort of thing).
