Located in the corner of the casino next to the Sportsbook, the poker room at the Monte Carlo offers a friendly atmosphere for beginner players. Dealers are friendly here and most of the other players here are tourists too. You will find not professional poker players here like the Bellagio or the Aria.
The room spreads 1/2 NL and 2/6 limit here. They will run a 2/5 NL game if requested, but management told me that is a rare sight. Rake is 10%, up to Five dollars. The cocktail waitresses come around quite often so you can select your choice of complimentary beverage. The orange juice is terrible here though.
The Monte Carlo poker room doesn't offer the luxury amenities seen at the classier poker joints on the strip, but it does offer an easy game in a friendly environment.
