| For some poker players, playing in
home games and their local casino or poker room is the extent of their poker experience.
But if you want to test your game in a more grand setting, you can plan a poker vacation
in Vegas. But if you’ve never been there before, there are a couple of things to keep
in mind once you get there. This is the Mecca of poker action, and it can be a bit
overwhelming when it comes time to find a game. New
poker rooms are sprouting up around the city all the time. The best places to play, in
order of the best are the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, the Wynn, the Mirage and the Venetian.
These poker rooms have lots of tables offering every variation of poker you might play.
You can play cash games or daily poker tournaments for various stakes. Take the time to
research the action in each hotel and decide which room will best serve your playing level
and preference.
It helps to stay at the hotel that you’re going to
play in. It will give you more time on the tables and you won’t be running around in
100 degree temperatures to get to the poker room. If you’re looking for a more
inexpensive trip, you can play in the downtown poker rooms. The new Golden Nugget and the
Las Vegas Club have great poker rooms and cheaper rooms to stay in.
Divide your playing time into sessions, and divide your
playing bankroll between those sessions. That way you have some cash to play with for the
duration of your trip, and you won’t go broke with a couple of days left. |
