What to Look For From Poker Rooms in Las Vegas Casinos

What Should You Expect From Poker Rooms in Las Vegas Casinos ?
Oh how things change, seems like just a few years ago that online poker was the latest rage and brick and mortar players were wondering how to play online as nobody had any experience with online poker and many veterans where intimidated. Now poker rooms in Las Vegas casinos are filled with barely 21 year old hot shot poker players many of whom only have experience playing online and are wondering what to look for live.

Comfort
Do not underestimate the importance of comfort and atmosphere in a poker room. Its good to have a poker room filled with action but at the same time you do not want to feel claustrophobic, you need your elbow room. Its best if you have some separation from the casino, you do not need a railbird on your shoulder. Seating should be comfortable, lighting  and noise levels should all be conducive to poker.

Bonuses
Know what the comps are! This should be the first thing you ask when you go to the poker room. So many players just grab a seat when regular comps can often add up to $5 per hour. Know what jackpot and high hand bonuses are, many places do not allow you to ask or mention the jackpot or high hand bonus in the middle of a hand. You should also inquire about poker room rates before you reserve your room as many Las Vegas casinos have special hotel room rates for those playing poker. Poker room rates usually require from 4-8 hours of play daily. To inquire about poker room rates in Las Vegas you need to call the poker room and speak to the card room manager. Do not call the Casino, to find the phone numbers see our directory of poker rooms in Las Vegas casinos.

Service
Look for poker rooms who have dealers and managers who are fast friendly and act in a professional manner. A well staffed poker room runs more smoothly and cuts down on arguments and will make for a much more enjoyable game. Waiters and waitress should also be easy to find, you shouldn’t have to wait 1 hour for a drink. Some casinos will even give you a pager to carry with you while you are on the wait list and page you when a seat is open
