Jake, you should really read your own posts (from the IP thread):

Is the AA and KK still going on.....
Oh yeah! 8am-11am. Good luck
Ok I was off by an hour. At 8am, play aces/kings cracked at IP. 11am, walk to Bills. (That walk is shorter then the walk from the IP poker room to the bathroom.) Then play until 2pm.
Even when I was on crutches back in February, I made treks longer than that.

Jake give me 10 pushups.
I just did 6 and my arms are shaking. My wife is laughing her A%^$S& off. Man I'am out of shape. This is crazy.
Just a heads up everyone! Today was the 1st day of AA/KKs Cracked at Bill"s (wed.) and both tables were full by 11:30. Also, the Chinese food in the Victorian Room is to die for.
Aside from AA/KK cracked, is there a comp system? I'll be a guest at Bill's from 6/27 to 7/2 and would love to be in action in one of the best little casinos in Vegas.

Yes there is! We offer $2 comp dollars an hour. Just like at the I.P. Best on the strip.You will need to sign up for a Bill's Players Card at the players booth located in front of the sportsbook.
The rake, $5 +1 for the jackpot. A lot of serious players hate that rake structure. Personally I like it, as the better players tend to go for the lower rake (when there is a choice). That leaves more fish, or players that don't understand the fine points of the game, at places like Bill's or IP. I find it easy to make up the extra rake.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I can't disagree with this assessment more. Low limit games are soft almost by definition in Vegas. The $4+1 rooms, and even the reduced rake rooms offer great low limit action. One is just as likely to find a soft game at a place like Bill's or IP as they are at a place like the Monte Carlo, the South Point, or countless other rooms.
In the past two days I have had two giant all-in bets called by ace high at a place with a $3+1 rake. IMO, the idea that a higher rake structure makes the game more beatable is nonsense.

In a way I feel that you are arguing for my point. First know that I am a tourist in Vegas so I have limited exposure, and also that I am a mediocre player. Game selection is key for me. I don't have time or the transportation to track the best games currently so I must guess.
I agree totally with this statement: Low limit games are soft almost by definition in Vegas. But some are softer than others. Where do you expect to find better players at the V, MGM, Bally's, IP, etc..., for 1/2NL? If you Vegas locals had to rate each strength of each game, the IP and Bally's would be down near the bottom of the list. Do you disagree with that?
For me one less good player, and one more poor player can make a huge difference in my long term profitability. Much more than the rake will make a difference.
Even a vegas/california semi-pro would see my plays as totally bush league. Those are the guys you would _tend_ to find at a low rake table. However, I am better than like 70% of poker playing tourist. The ones who have no idea how the casino makes money by spreading poker.
Oh there are decent to skilled players at IP, but wow do they stick out like sore thumbs. Which is another benefit. It is easy to stay out of their way.
IMHO the things that impact my profit in a NL game are in order of importance 1) The particular table 2) The size of the blinds and finally 3) the rake
