Are there any poker rooms in vegas that deal any other games besides texas hold em, like 7 card stud , 5 card stud like they used to?
It’s true that the games spread in the major poker rooms — Aria, Caesars, Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn, Mirage, and MGM Grand — and most of the smaller and local rooms sound like a broken record:
$1/$2, $1/$3, $2/$5, $5/$10, and $10/$20 No Limit Hold ’em;
$2/$4, $4/$8, $9/$18, and $20/$40 Limit Hold ’em;
and $1/$2 and $2/$5 Pot Limit Omaha Hi.
Several poker rooms — Aria, Bellagio, Caesars, Harrah’s, and Wynn — also deal $9/$18, $40/$80, $50/$100 and up Mix games, such as Badugi, badacy, 2-7 triple draw, and, in the words of a Vegas poker veteran, "a bunch of other goofy games I’ve never played."
As for stud, he says, "I haven’t seen a 5-stud game since the '70s."
You can still find a few 7-card Eight or Better stud games. Last time we checked, Suncoast had a $2/$10 stud 8/b and $4/$8 regular stud and Sam’s Town had $2/$10 stud. Bellagio also has a stud hi game, though we hear it usually only goes on the weekends and has much higher limits: $20/$40, $30/$60, and $50/$100.
Since we didn't call every poker room and ask about every game, if anyone can improve on the above lists, we'd very much appreciate it.
