The only constant is change when it comes to playing poker in Las Vegas, with more and more room openings as the years go by, and the "old" classics receiving a face lift to try to compete. If you are staying in a casino-hotel, chances are your casino has a poker room. If you just want to play, that might be your best choice. It does not matter where you play, just enjoy and max out the experience. Here are some options: The Bellagio Poker Room Bellagio is one of the dominant destination here, poker-wise. Quite a few major poker events are held here on a regular basis. The skill level varies very much at the lower levels, but at the top levels, this is as tough a room as there is out there. 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 One of the biggest rooms in town, the Caesars Palace poker room could host 1,000 players if it needed to. 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 finest 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 This is one of the newer poker joints in town and has been rated very well by most regulars. The room offers a special parking area for players, and has an aggressive comp program. It also has hosted the legendary 'Big Game' in the past. This is the biggest poker event out there, where the best of the best battle each other for hundreds of thousands each night. The room has an experienced poker staff. The Venetian offers tableside food service, which is becoming more and more rare at the top rooms. The Venetian 'Deep Stack' Series, held several times a year, is one of the most popular poker tournament series around. 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 This used to be rated as the top joint to play, and although the Bellagio and the Venetian has surpassed it, it's still pretty decent room to play poker. 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. It's a little odd at first to have the dealer call you by name, but it's a nice touch. In addition, the room has automated tracking technology, which makes sure that an unfilled seat does not remain that way for long. The room offers food service at the table, but only from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Rio The Rio is notable in that it hosts poker's finest in the World Series of Poker each year. The Poker room has gotten a recent face lift and hosts daily tournaments that are quite popular. Check the schedule, and if you want to play against poker's best in the WSOP, the Rio is the place to do it. Note: At any given time, you will probably find at least one active low-limit hold 'em game running at any given poker room. 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. The same applies if you and your friends just want to play draw just like at home. All you have to do is ask, you might be able to get it, with the room providing you a dealer. Just pay the time charge.
