  • I had my ups and downs at the Golden Nugget poker room. In the end, I came out ahead ... but I wouldn't base my review on whether or not I came out ahead. (Mostly) Overall, the vibe in the GN Poker room has been casual when I have played there. There occasionally may be someone running a large stack and a few $100 bills on the 1-2 NL table, but nothing unusual. However, the table I was at my first night threw me off. Two guys at the table brought in stacks of 20K each, and there was about 45K in play at the table overall. My measly $200 that I start with was feeling rather intimidated. And while these guys weren't pushing the play at crazy levels, they were raising up to $20-$30 any time they had a hand. I decided my best strategy was to wait for a hand and push it. And I did ... with pocket Aces. And as often happens in Vegas, my A-A was busted. I got two callers, and one of them hit a Q on the river to make their straight with their Big Slick. This shell-shocked me a bit and I didn't hit the poker room for two whole days, but finally made it back and found that the level of play noted above was more the exception than the rule. I wound up having a pretty good night - although I did fold 7-7 and two 7's came on the board, missing my first chance at a big pot bonus. Still, I came out ahead enough that night and the next day to overcome another bad beat my last day and come out just a bit ahead. The poker room itself is nice ... it's one of the rooms that was used a lot on NBC's Poker After Dark, and it has that dim, old school vibe. The clientele is a mix of what you'd get from The Strip (tourists) and locals casinos. (The local grinders.)The chairs are nice, but the tables are cramped when carrying the full 10 players, which is often the case late night. Most of the dealers here are pretty friendly and fun, and the table service is generally good. They run a lot of tournaments during the day, but there's always room for a couple of 1-2NL and 2-4 Limit games as well. I believe this and Binion's are the only poker rooms downtown, and while I have never played at Binion's, I don't have any real reason to try them over GN. Win or lose, I've always had a fun time there.
