If you are
in Vegas you probably look for some action at some ranked poker rooms in town
including the Caesars Palace, Binion’s Horseshoe or The Bellagio as well as
several other good poker rooms such as The Mirage, The Wynn, Treasure Island,
Bally's, Planet Hollywood, The Flamingo, Harrah's and The Imperial Palace, etc.
The truth is that every single poker rooms features its own particularities,
even when some places offer better quality and services, Las Vegas always has something ready for any
one at any time.
Las Vegas south strip holds some pretty good poker rooms such as the
Luxor Hotel and Casino, the Tropicana and the MGM Grand to mention some of the
more notorious poker rooms, but can always visit places like The Monte Carlo,
The Excalibur, Mandalay
Bay, etc. The Excalibur
Hotel and Casino has good and comfortable poker room located in the middle of
the casino, which has its own reputation for its cash games and tournaments.
The other casinos at the south end of the strip have poker rooms that count
with good action and a considerable amount of players.
There’s
also a long list of "off-strip" casinos mostly located a couple
blocks east or west of the strip. These off-strip Hotels and casinos such as the Golden Palm, The Orleans or the Palace Station usually
feature cheaper rates than the hotels located on the strip and they also
feature lower stakes games. Many off strip casinos offer free shuttles to and
from the strip but keep in mind that most shuttles stop running about 2 or 3 in
the morning.
You can
usually find a cheaper mid-strip hotel like The Imperial Palace or Casino
Royale, but to find the best Las Vegas
hotel deals you can always visit the Las Vegas Hotels section at We Do It All
Vegas.
Hotel
room prices are cheaper from Sunday to Thursday when, keep in mind that the prices
can double on the weekends. The Vegas hotels sometimes charge a different
nightly rate for your entire stay depending on the day of the week that you
initially arrive at the hotel, weekend arrivals are usually the most expansive.
Some Las Vegas Hotels and casinos offer cheaper rates that require you to play
a certain number of hours of poker at that particular casino. Normally you have
to play between 6 to 9 hours every day to qualify for the special hotel room
rate. Discount coupons can also help you to reduce the accommodation expenses
