Vegas During Spring Break |

I'm going to be in LV in mid-March during my Uninversity's spring break and this is likely to correspond with many, many other college spring break sessions as well. While I'll be visiting the folks there I plan on playing some live poker (almost certainly just $2/4 or $3/6 FL).
What is Vegas and Vegas poker like during spring break? Any places and times to watch or avoid? I'm hoping to find the place jammed with rich drunk frat boys who've forgotten everything they ever may have known about odds. (I'm a poor drunk professor who teaches odds.)
Also, any reports on new poker rooms in Vegas? I was there in December of '05 and there were surprisingly few poker rooms on the strip but every place we asked told us they were planning on adding one.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Those are all the poker rooms in Las Vegas. All of them have a 2/4 FL game. The drunk players suck pretty bad when they drunk, which means at those limits they are not going to fold. You'll have to get used to suckouts by players, and well, 2 or 3 of them will call into the river, meaning you will get rivered by a weird two pair every so often.

Spring break is extremely busy. My friends always go in mid March for the NCAA hoops tourney 1st weekend. Expect long waits if you want to go anywhere during "prime times". I recommend getting to where you want to play before 4-5pm or so.
The better restaurants typically have an hour wait too. So plan accordingly.

I might be heading there toward the end of March (around the 21st or so I think) for spring break myself.
Any rooms recommended for low limit (below $10/$20) Omaha-8 or Stud games?

Bellagio's smallest game is 4/8
Venetian 3/6
Wynn 4/8
Caesar's 3/6
so not everyplace spreads 2/4

Is that true all day, or just after 6pm?

Thanks to Sal and Dave for the info. It is amazing how many new rooms there are in a year. I have a fondness for the Golden Nugget since I did pretty well there but I also think I'm going to spend at least one afternoon/evening at a large strip hotel at $3/6 FL.
And, of course, I have to pay homage at the Gamblers' General Store. (It's funny, I love to browse around in there but never buy too much.)
Thanks again.

Its twice as big.
For some people 30/60 isn't that much bigger than 15/30.
For some people it is a lot bigger.
