When I was there in June, Luxor was horrible.But at Mandalay Bay (the connecting casino), the 1/2 game was very nice. Very nice room. It's a couple minute walk through the casino.Also Leftygolfer, here, won one of there $70 evening tournies.Do not eat at the Luxor steakhouse.Huskers20
Mandlay bay is nice. I was highly intoxicated when I saw carrot top there. I stood on my chair and yelled at him. I still get made fun of to this day(which isnt very long from when it happened.) That kid is on steroids though but had some smoking groupies.

I agree about MGM or the connected Mandalay Bay, any of these 5 Mandy Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, Tropicana, and MGM are within 10 minutes of each other by tramway/skyway, and they all have poker rooms. The trouble with the Luxor poker room is that it is small and cramped and the tournaments are terrible.

Besides if I go play poker for a few hours what is she going to do? Ive already tried to sell her on shopping, which just turned into me having to go shopping with her. Ive also tried to sell her on a spa but she says she is too modest to do it.
Going shopping with your woman is always painful. Going shopping with your woman in Vegas is probably illegal under the Geneva convention. Being so close to all that Vegasy goodness and going shopping is like one of those ancient Greek mythological torture devices.At any rate - do with you GF the things you talked about that made her want to go: dining, shows, pool, tours, etc. If she's at all into gambling you can play some blackjack or slots or whatever together. If at all possible send her shopping while you do something you enjoy. Pour a couple glasses of wine or whatever into her during dinner. Take her back to the room for a "nightcap". Then when she falls asleep head out to the poker room for a few hours.

Things have probably changed since I was there 3 years ago, but it was the first poker room I played in and, to be honest, I remeber it as being quite small, maybe 8 or 10 tables. Probably good to kill some time, but probably pretty small time (right around my range lol).There are bigger poker rooms nearby if you get bored.(Ah, memories of my first foray into poker. Played 1/2 LHE. My last hand was 75o, table was breaking, so I played it. Flopped a str8, only to have some goof help me cap every street and hit his quad 6's on the river).

The single biggest fish-fest is at the Excalibur.They give an 11am lesson. At noon the 1-2nl and 2-4 limit tables are full of people playing live for the first time.It attracts a bunch of local retirees looking for a few easy bucks and some comp time, but as far as soft goes, that game is like a Tempurpedic mattress. Just play ABC poker and don't get too steamed when your aces get cracked by someone calling with J-10. Plus, they have a bad beat spin the wheel thingie thats pretty cool.MGM across the street is MUCH nicer then anything in the area.

Its not that Im not willing to travel 20 minutes down the strip its that I dont think she will give me permission to leave her for that long (Im wihipped). So Im only going to have a hour, two hours tops and Im not willing to spend a quarter of that time in a cab.
MGM, buddy. MGM.

Luxor, excaliber and MGM for that end of the strip for sure. Cash games.I like Johns post. Get her good full of food/drinks and tired, service her unit if that is required, and when she poops out RUN OUT THE DOOR!Just be careful when you purpose. You just might do it on purpose. That is if you have a purpose.I surpurpose.purposedlly.

C'mon - we got to three pages without anyone making fun of the fact the op is thinking of "purposing" to her? WTF is happening to this place?
Word usage isn't my strong point. Especially after a few beers late in the evening.It was until I read your post that I realized I wrote 'purpose' instead of 'propose'.

I was just there a couple of weeks ago. It truly is like sitting down at your own money tree.
