Las Vegas Poker Rooms
Bellagio Poker Room
Bellagio is still the iconic "TV poker" room in Vegas, famous for its high-limit salon (Bobby's Room, now Legends) where some of the biggest mixed and hold'em games in town run. The main floor spreads a wide range of stakes and is almost always busy, which is great for table selection but can feel crowded and intense. High rollers love the history and star power, while some low-stakes players find the room a bit intimidating and dated compared with newer resorts. Even with the quirks, it remains a bucket-list place to play at least once.

Wynn Las Vegas Poker Room
Wynn's poker room is the polished high-end option for people who like clean lines, bright lighting and serious poker. The room is spacious and very comfortable, with a long-tenured staff and some of the best run cash games in town. It is known for higher buy-in caps and tougher player pools, so you get stronger regulars and fewer pure tourists, which some love and some find intimidating. The room also hosts major events like the WPT World Championship, which keeps its profile high among serious players.

Aria Poker Room
Aria has leaned into being the "action room" on the Strip, with big traffic, lots of daily cash and plenty of PLO in addition to hold'em. Reviews often highlight an A+ atmosphere and strong dealers, with a mix of serious grinders and recreational players that keeps the games lively. The space itself is stylish and modern, although some people find it a bit dark and tightly packed when the room is full. If you like faster games and you are not afraid of sitting with pros, Aria is usually on the short list.

Caesars Palace Poker Room
The Caesars poker room sits in a prime Strip location and has decent space and lighting, which makes it easy to drop in if you are already at the resort. Players describe it as serviceable but a bit tired, with old chips, worn felt and chairs that are not as comfortable as newer rooms. Some find it a cozy break from louder casinos, others see it as dated and run down, reflecting broader complaints about aging parts of the property. The poker is fine, but you are mostly here for convenience and the Caesars name, not a cutting-edge room.

Venetian is the classic "big Vegas room" experience: lots of tables, comfy seating, daily tournaments and a very professionally run operation. It draws a ton of regulars, so the games can feel reg heavy, especially in the main no-limit stakes. Players praise the room's comfort and promos, but there are also grumbles about promo drops and rake structure on some games.

Golden Nugget Las Vegas Poker Room
Golden Nugget is the de facto flagship room downtown and often the only serious option for full poker action on Fremont Street. The room is comfortable and reasonably classy by downtown standards, with solid staff and regular tournaments plus promos. Players like that it draws tourists and splashy locals, with some describing it as a "fishpond," though others note dealers can be hit or miss at times. If you want the Fremont vibe but still care about the poker environment, this is where you end up.

Boulder Station Poker Room
Boulder Station is a true locals room, with mostly regulars who have been battling each other for years and a lot of lower-limit hold'em and Omaha. Inside, the room is non-smoking, relatively comfortable and walled off from the main casino, which helps with noise and smoke. On the downside, reviews mention worn tables, cigarette burns on the furniture and generally basic amenities, so this is more about value and familiarity than glamour. It is a fit if you want to grind smaller games among regulars away from the Strip.

Green Valley Ranch Poker Room
Green Valley Ranch has historically been a comfortable locals room in Henderson, with a mostly regular crowd and fairly standard low- to mid-stakes action. The existing room was closed and marked as temporarily shut in many reviews, with modest action even before that. Station Casinos is in the middle of bringing poker back here as part of a big property remodel, with a new 16-table cardroom planned to reopen by the end of 2025. So right now it is more of a "watch this space" story than an active destination.

Horseshoe Las Vegas Poker Room
Horseshoe, the rebranded Bally's, is a mid-Strip room that lives on steady tourist traffic and low-buy-in tournaments. Players like the remodel, the comfortable tables and the generally friendly dealers, and some reviews say the room has a surprisingly fun culture. At the same time, you see complaints about cocktail service and comps being underwhelming, so hospitality can feel uneven. If you want casual 1/3 or a quick nightly tournament near the center of the Strip, it does that job well.

Mandalay Bay Poker Room
Mandalay Bay's poker room is small and tilted heavily toward recreational low-stakes hold'em, with lots of $60–$100 tournaments and soft fields. It is popular with casual players who just want to kill a few hours, have some drinks and not think too hard about tough regs. The tradeoff is limited hours and game selection, plus a feeling from some players that it is more of a side attraction than a serious grind spot. If you are staying on the south Strip and want an easy, friendly game, it is perfectly fine for that lane.

MGM Grand Poker Room
MGM Grand used to be a major poker powerhouse, but the room has shrunk and now runs far fewer tables than in its peak years. Reviews still call it a very soft place to play low-stakes no-limit, especially 1/2, with lots of short stacks and classic tourist mistakes to capitalize on. At the same time, analysts describe it as a "shadow of its former self," with less energy and fewer game options than the marketing might suggest. It is fine if you are staying there or hunting soft 1/2, but it no longer feels like a flagship poker destination.

Planet Hollywood Poker Room
Planet Hollywood's new poker room looks great on the surface: big, modern space, plenty of amenities and that lively PH casino energy just outside. Early reviews are all over the place though, with some players loving the promotions and setup, and others frustrated by inexperienced dealers, a heavy promo drop and slow drink service. It feels like a room going through growing pains, where management is still dialing in procedures and staff training. If you catch it on a good night you get a fun, energetic game, but the quality is inconsistent.

Red Rock Poker Room
Red Rock has one of the nicest poker rooms in any locals casino, with roomy spacing, comfy adjustable chairs and its own restrooms right by the action. The crowd skews heavily local, and reviews mention that regulars often get seating preference, which can make visiting players feel like outsiders. Games are generally tighter and more serious than Strip 1/3, and the rake plus promos run on the higher side for small stakes. If you are a local who cares about comfort and knows the ecosystem, it is a great home base; as a tourist, you are making a deliberate trip for a more serious locals environment.

Regulars talk about soft low-stakes games and a very relaxed vibe, which makes it inviting for newer players. The big differentiator is its focus on mixed games, with hosts and player-run lists that have turned it into a go-to spot for 4/8 and bigger mix action, even if the rewards program is a bit underwhelming.

Santa Fe Station Poker Room
Santa Fe Station is a northwest locals property with a 14-table room and very few tourists wandering through. Some reviews rave about it as the best local casino in town with an awesome poker room, while others blast it as smoky, run down and full of tough old rocks with alleged collusion problems, which is a wild spread of opinions. That mix means you should expect a hardcore locals environment rather than a party game. It is not a destination for most visitors, but it has a niche if you are in that part of town and like grinding with regulars.

Skyline's poker room is tiny and very intimate, mostly serving a tight-knit local crowd in Henderson. It has a friendly, low-key feel and runs simple Texas Hold'em cash games at low stakes. The reality, though, is that you often get just one table running on weekends and some players warn that you might not even get a seat when you make the trip. This is more of a neighborhood hangout than a room you plan a poker vacation around.

It does not have the glitz of the Strip, but it offers a lot of game volume and decent promos at reasonable stakes. If you are serious about logging hours and do not care about chandeliers, it is a very practical choice.

The room is big, busy and heavy on locals, with an "old Vegas" vibe that regulars really like. You get lots of tournaments and mid-stakes limit and Omaha games, plus lower rake than some Strip rooms, but the atmosphere is definitely more grindhouse than luxury resort. If you care more about game selection than ambiance, the Orleans is hard to beat.

Westgate is an off-Strip hidden gem that lives off word of mouth, not foot traffic. The room is small but very well run, with staff that get a lot of love in recent reviews and promotions that locals rave about as some of the best value in town. The flip side is limited game selection and reports that the room often shuts down by late night, so this is more of a day and early evening grind spot than a 24/7 zoo.
