Poker in Las Vegas has changed a lot over the past five years, with dozens of new rooms opening in recent years, and the "old" classics getting a face lift to try to compete. If you are on holiday in a casino resort, it most probably already has a poker room, in which case you are good to go. Wherever you play, have fun and make the most out of the experience. Here are some options: The Bellagio Poker Room Although not as far ahead as it once was, the Bellagio is still the epicenter of the Las Vegas Poker scene. Several major poker events are held here on a regular basis. You will find skill levels that vary widely at the lower levels, with the top levels about as hard as any of the poker rooms out here. You have to play your best game if you intend to play here. Binion's Poker Room Most of the great moments in tournament poker history have occurred within these walls, as Binion's was the host casino of the World Series of Poker for the first 34 years of the event. You can see the pictures of all the world champions who played and dominated here. If these walls could talk, poker fans would never stop listening. The current poker room hosts many daily tournaments, and always has no limit games in play. Go and play poker here, just so you can say you did. Caesars Palace Poker Room The Caesars Palace poker room is so large it can host up to 1,000 players at any time. Ok, the atmosphere may not be as great as the Bellagio, but that's because this used to be a convention room that was later converted into a poker room. The location is away from the casino floor, which is an advantage since you have minimal distractions. For fans of low-limit buy-in tournaments, Caesars has some of the best blind structures of any casino in town. Daily tournaments often last in excess of 8 hours, and give the better players time to out-maneuver the opposition. Venetian Poker Room One of the newer kids in town is the poker room at the Venetian. The room gives you special parking and excellent comps. It also has hosted the legendary 'Big Game' in the past. This is the biggest game in town where the best players get together to exchange hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a night. The room has an experienced poker staff. It also offers tableside dining service, which you can hardly ever find anywhere else. This room is also noted for the Deep Stack Series that is held several times a year. MGM Grand Poker Room The MGM Poker room is very upscale and hosts daily tournaments which attract the weakest players out there. Many tourists and recreational players play here, and the vibe is relaxed and friendly. The Mirage Poker Room Once the center of the poker world, the Mirage is still a great place to play. Recent additions and upgrades to the surrounding casino, like the Beatles Cirque Du Soleil show, make the Mirage feel a lot "nicer" than it had in recent years. The daily tournaments still attract a good number of players. Wynn Las Vegas Poker Room The Wynn Poker Room is relatively new, upscale and a nice place to play. The activity is mostly on the lower levels but big time players have occasionally been sighted. If you are booked here, you can always put yourself on the waiting list while you leisurely monitor everything from your room instead of waiting for a spot in the poker room. The room hosts tournaments most days at noon, and the prize pools can get pretty good at times, ranging from $300 to $500 buy in. Red Rock Poker Room This poker room is off the strip in the Summerlin area but is one of the favorites by the locals. The room is high tech with the dealers having the ability to view a screen with all of the player names. You might as well be in a Cheers bar where everyone knows your name. Also, the room has card tracker and seat tracker technology so that an unfilled seat does not stay unfilled for long, assuming there is a live body to take its place. The room offers food service at the table, but only from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Rio The Rio is famous for hosting the creme-de-la-creme of the poker world, through the WSOP, aka World Series of Poker. The room has been renovated recently and has been hosting daily tournaments that are becoming big draws. Check the schedule, this is the place you want to go to if you want to play against the best. Please note that you can always find an active low-limit hold 'em at any of these rooms. But if you have the urge to play Stud or any other variation, you can always call and check if your preferred game is offered. Also, keep in mind if you and your friends want to play draw just like you do at home, just ask! It's possible the room may provide you a dealer, as long as you pay the time charge.
