Thought about going to Vegas during WSOP, but decided against it because airfare was higher than I wanted to pay and I wanted to go to enjoy and relax and thought the crowd would make that harder. Thinking about maybe going later this summer/fall. Thinking about going during one of Venetian's deep stack series to play a tournament and maybe some cash games (1/2, 1/3, maybe 2/5). Anybody have advice on what to do or best casinos to go to for small stakes?
Hookers & blow.

Can't help you regarding small stakes, but maybe someone else here can.
Are you interested in doing anything else besides gambling?
Mostly gambling (poker and probably some sports). Obviously some restaurants I’ve never been to (In n Out and Peppermill off the top of my head.) Not sure what else... seeing a show might be fun, would like to see Penn and TellerFall is much nicer weather-wise unless you like heat. October tends to be quite nice, especially early in the month.

The poker rooms have really consolidated. It’s not like it was 10 years ago where some of the best rooms were at B level properties where only tourists play.
Aria, Wynn are my two favorite rooms.
Bellagio and Caesar’s will always have games going as will the Venetian.
MGM is still viable.
Everything else my last trip out was really hit or miss and filled with locals who were tourist bum hunting.
Good luck
Ellis Island(1 block East of the strip behind Bally's) for Steak & Eggs breakfast. Get their players card first for extra savings, I think it $6.99 with the card & $7.99 without.
Do an evening at Fremont Street preferably Friday or Saturday. If you want to do the zipline you have to book weeks/months ahead. Lots of decent & cheaper restaurant, lower limit table gambling & lots of street entertainment so it's fun to just wander under the canopy from casino to casino.

Cool! Was thinking of spending a day wondering Fremont, checking out casinos.. Binions would be cool to see, though I’m guessing it’s pretty different from the WSOP days. Also Golden Nugget seems cool.
All the casinos are small & easy to walk around & see them all & lots of food options. There used to be a site to print off some good coupons for the Fremont Street area. I'll see if I can find it again but I think they may have discontinued that if I remember correctly.Cool! Was thinking of spending a day wondering Fremont, checking out casinos..

I played their big Sunday night tourny @ Binions in 2005. I never even looked to see if the poker room was still open last time I was there but I seem to remember it was downstairs & it was a shithole.

That’s good to know! Aria and Bellagio was what I was thinking for cash games, mostly because that seems to be where the bigger games are, and it might be cool to see a poker celebrityThe poker rooms have really consolidated.
