Best Poker Rooms in Vegas
When you come to Las Vegas you come to gamble, and if you’re any kind of a man, you’ll want to play some poker. This city is of full of card rooms and nearly every casino now offers poker, but depending on what kind of action you’re looking for, you’ll need to chose wisely.
I think the poker room at the Wynn offers a little something for everyone. It is the most comfortable room in all of Las Vegas with plush chairs on casters and plenty of ergonomic flexibility. They have a very liberal comp system, if you’re playing and you’re hungry, they’ll treat you to a great meal. The games range in limit stakes from 3/6 to 30/60and sometimes greater. It’s a great little room and the action is always fast. Day or night you can always find a good game at the Wynn, and for the ego-maniacs, they’ll always treat you like a king.
If you’re looking for some serious action then you’ll have to go to the Belllagio. Whether you want to play some low-limit stud, or Hold’em with the best pros in the world you can find any game you’re looking for. Bring $100 and sit down for a nice game of 3/6 or bring $1 million and play heads-up with Scotty Nyguen in the 40,000/80,000 parlor. The room is big and elegant. The dealers are friendly and the cocktail waitress are nice. Dressed a little too conservative for this guy, but all-in-all, the Bellagio is the place to be. They don’t offer poker players any sort of a comp system, and the food is over-priced. For a visiting tourist the Bellagio offers you a world-class poker experience, but for the avid local it is just not that great of a deal.
The Orleans Casino, just off the beaten path offers some of the best incentives for playing there. Their poker room is one of the largest with close to thirty tables and daily tournaments, however the action is small, so for the fugal gambler this is the place to be. They’ll comp you a dollar an hour and they offer a great bad beat jackpot for it’s patrons. Unheard of anywhere else, they even host a 4/8 Texas Hold’em game with half-blinds. The dealers are a lot of fun, and you can grab one hell of a breakfast at the cafe. For $2.95 you can get the Graveyard Special; a steak and breakfast platter. The only downside is that the kind of steak they serve is only good rare, but unless you want to really gamble, you’re probably better off getting it well-done.
