| Venetian is very nice, awesome room, drinks are fantastic, good TVs all around the room, and hot waitresses. Wynn has way hotter waitresses (talking new york runway model quality), drinks are ok, room is lux, comps are mediocore. Caesars sucks imo, they got recently bought by Flamingo (I think?) and comps have gone downhill,, the waitresses are FUCKING UGLY (1/2 are grandma age), and drinks are extremely slow.
Pretty much every single hotel nowadays has a decent poker room, the only thing is at the low limits you are basically playing against people who will call every flop and move all in with random ass cards, so its dubious how much "skill" is really involved in winning. A lot of locals to go places like Orleans, Palms (hot waitresses, but tiny room), Red Rock, South Pointe, etc.
Oh, MGM Grand has a very nice room that is smoke free, if you are a nonsmoker.
My parents live in vegas and I head over at least once a month and usually play poker, tbh its more for the pulse and "gamblers rush" than actually playing. During weekends half the players are drunk and a quarter are very, very good so its not exactly the type of environment where you will do well. I usually take $100 and stop when its gone, probably 30% of the time I end up with $0, 20% I end up with > $400, and 50% I stop after an hour or two with $50-60. At Venetian and Palms I usually only have to wait 20-30 mins even on busy nights. I usually prefer playing on weekdays during the day ("serious poker"), on weekends its just sharks trying to catch fish and I don't want to be the in the middle of that.
Oh, Palazzo just opened up you can try that one too, its right next to Venetian. |
