Where are you staying, and what's your game?

I've only ever played at MGM. I play $1/2 No Limit and the games at MGM are super soft. The Poker Room is out in the open, near one of the main entrances, and close to the entrance to Studio 54, so it gets a lot of walk-by traffic, which means a lot of tourists sitting down willing to lose all of their money to you.

If you're any good, you can clean up (play relatively tight, and don't try wild bluffs because so many players are unwilling to fold small pairs or things like that).

I've also heard good things about the Venetian Poker Room, but I usually stay on the south end of the Strip, so MGM is easier to get to.

Excalibur has new electronic tables (no physical cards, everything is done with a touch screen) and offers a $0.50/1 NL game, if you're looking for the smallest stakes.

If you want bigger stakes, Bellagio and The Wynn are the places to go.
