  • Poker Room Review: Terrible's Sands Regency Casino Hotel, Reno, NV

    December 21, 2008,

    The poker room at the Sands Regency Casino Hotel is named 'Mom's Poker Room'. It's a misnomer. It should be called, "Grandpa's Poker Room" – filled as it often is with older local guys. Even so, it's a lively and noisy place...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Carson Nugget, Carson City, NV

    December 14, 2008,

    I visited the Carson City Nugget late on a Wednesday night as I drove back to my hotel in Reno after a day in Lake Tahoe. I'm very glad I took the slight detour and stopped in for a couple of hours of play...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Fandango Casino, Carson City, NV

    December 07, 2008,

    The Fandango Casino poker room is a brightly lit, festive, and somewhat garish place that is currently suffering the ill effects of a poor economy. They have scaled back their operations somewhat, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and not officially...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Lakeside Inn and Casino, Stateline, NV

    November 30, 2008,

    I sometimes fantasize about redoing my house and building an elegant club room in which to play poker with my friends. I'd put in a beautiful high-end table and nice chairs for a cash game, and then add a couple more for good...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Montbleu Casino Resort and Spa, Stateline, NV

    November 23, 2008,

    The Montbleu Resort Casino and Spa has a swanky feel to it with its beautiful open layout, very high ceilings, soft lighting, and beautiful pastel colors. The six-table poker room itself is very large and relatively new, having just opened...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Carson Valley Inn, Miden, NV

    November 16, 2008,

    Friendly, efficient, accommodating, and generous; those are the first words that come to mind when I think about the poker room at the Carson Valley Inn. The poker room is just fifteen minutes north of Lake Tahoe and about forty-five minutes south...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Terrible's Rail City Casino, Sparks, NV

    November 09, 2008,

    Terrible's Rail City Casino has a well-lit poker area, complete with new cards, clean chips, and fairly comfortable chairs inside a Sparks casino that is geared toward the local low roller. You will find a $2/4 limit hold'em game, $3 blackjack, and...

     
  • Poker Room Review: The Alamo, Sparks, NV

    November 02, 2008,

    Most traveling poker players tend to stay on the beaten path of well-known poker rooms, finding themselves in the likes of the Bellagio, Binions, Commerces, and Foxwoods. Other players, myself included, get a thrill from playing...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Circus Circus Casino, Reno, NV

    October 26, 2008,

    Circus Circus is a large, hotel and casino much like the other hotels and casinos in the downtown Reno area. It caters principally to local residents and conventioneers, who buck the trend of staying in the pricier...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Club Cal Neva Casino, Reno, NV

    October 19, 2008,

    Reno is a beautiful city, but the Cal Neva poker room is, in this reviewer's opinion, an ugly, old room in a rundown casino that has seen better days. If you choose your poker rooms because of the general ambiance of either...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Fitzgeralds Casino and Hotel, Reno, NV

    October 12, 2008,

    The Fitzgeralds Casino and Hotel is one of five, slightly rundown, downtown casinos in Reno that offer poker. The Cal Neva, Harrahs, Eldorado, and Circus Circus are all within walking distance and all have decent low limit (and in...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Harrah's Casino, Reno, NV

    October 05, 2008,

    I'll admit right up front that I haven't been impressed with most of the Harrah's poker rooms I've visited. They're adequate, to be sure, but they tend to be, in my opinion, somewhat cold and inflexible with too many rules...

     
  • Poker Room Review: The Eldorado Casino, Reno, NV

    September 28, 2008,

    The Eldorado Casino in Reno is home to a great poker room, particularly for cash games. Nearly all week long the casino spreads a small $1/2 no-limit hold'em game which has a $60 min and $300 max buy-in. The casino also runs...

     
  • Poker Room Review: The Silver Club, Sparks, NV

    September 21, 2008,

    The Silver Club in Sparks, Nevada is the epitome of a nice, small, locals-oriented casino. They have a great single-deck blackjack game with favorable rules, including blackjack that pays 3:2 and doubling down on anything. The table's...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, CT

    September 14, 2008,

    It was one of the funniest letters ever sent out by the poker industry. Effective Labor Day, 2004, Mohegan Sun announced to its regular players that it was closing its poker room because the area could no longer support two poker...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Boomtown Resort and Casino, Reno, NV

    September 07, 2008,

    Boomtown is about ten minutes outside of Reno in the small community of Verdi. It's literally in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. A beautiful location you can only get to by car -- it's worth the drive, if only for...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Imperial Palace, Las Vegas, NV

    August 31, 2008,

    The Imperial Palace has the ideal location for a great poker room. It's right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, between the Flamingo and Harrah's and across the street from Caesars and the Mirage. It is perhaps the Strip casino...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Hard Rock Poker Lounge, Las Vegas, NV

    August 24, 2008,

    The all-new 'Poker Lounge' at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada recently opened its doors to the public and we stopped by to see what the hype was all about....

     
  • Hard Rock Poker Lounge Open For Business

    August 21, 2008,

    For about fifteen years, the Hard Rock has always been a vibrant, cutting-edge casino. Situated on the corner of Paradise Rd. and E. Harmon Ave, the Rock n' Roll themed casino...

     
  • Poker Room Review: Arizona Charlie's Decatur Casino & Hotel, Las Vegas, NV

    August 17, 2008,

    I played at Arizona Charlie's on Decatur during my most recent trip to Las Vegas, during the World Series of Poker. I had decided to go to the poker rooms that were off the beaten track. Anything in North Las Vegas, as Arizona Charlie's...
