Actually, there are 1-4 seven stud games at Bellagio, Mirage, Monte Carlo and MGM. Believe there are 1-4 holdem games as well, though that isn't my game.
If you know the basic rule of poker - never betting cards you hope you'll get against cards your opponents already hold - you won't lose a lot unless you get an exceptionally strong run of very good second-best hands.
I introduced Rod to Las Vegas poker at the VFE Devcon in 1999. He has gone way beyond me since but I do have the satisfaction of feeling like the guy who first threw Jordan a basketball and said "Here, kid, try this" < bg >

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
