4/5
I'm not sure why I even bother playing here. The games are among the toughest around. I played mostly $5/10 NL here and didn't do well at all. There were some really strong players and they show lots of aggression. I'm usually one of the more aggressive players at the table, but not here.
The room is pretty large and very nice and I saw about a half dozen professionals which was pretty cool. There was actually a guy who played at my table who I recognized from a WPT broadcast from Foxwoods. I think his name was Ron Rose. I like this place a lot and would recommend it. Probably the most famous place to play in Vegas.Atmosphere
4/5
The room is very fancy, with antique looking decor. The room is very cramped though. They put too many tables in there and it can be tough to move around at times. Overall, very high quality.Dealers
5/5
No complaints about the dealers. All were professional. We had this one dealer who I swear looked like Mike the Mouth. He wasn't but he was a dead ringer for Mike.Food and Drink
5/5
The waitresses were very hot and they had all of the top shelf drinks. I didn't have to wait long. I highly recommend the Orange Julious.Wait Time/Overall Service
3/5
They didn't have the lists up on a screen which was surprising. I suppose it was organized but I didn't wait about 45 minutes for a table to open up. I didn't find the managers to be particularly friendly or unfriendly. They were there and did there job.Comps
5/5
The first time I played I just introduced myself to the poker manager and told them that I was staying in the hotel and wanted the poker rate. She gave it to me without checking on hours of play or anything else. Since that first time they have my name in their files and I just calle and always get the poker rate. Overall Impressions
5/5
It's my favorite room. Very classy, comfortable, great service.Atmosphere
5/5
Everything feels new and 'rich'. You really feel like you're playing in a high class establishment. There is plenty of room to sit. They have lots of flat screen TV's and the room is right next to the sports bar.Dealers
4/5
Very friendly dealers.Food and Drink
4/5
No trouble at all. Lots of watresses.Wait Time/Overall Service
3/5
It does get pretty crowded at times and you can wait up to an hour during peak times.Comps
2/5
Not 100% sure, but haven't notice many deals or comps. I could be mistaken. I do think they offer a good poker rate on the rooms.One of my favorite places to play.

I really like this place. When I come to Vegas I often stay here -- their poker rate is pretty good and they don't make you jump through hoops to get it. You just introduce yourself the to poker manager when you're there and in the future you call and they are very friendly and never hesitate to lock in a room.
The room is pretty large by Vegas standards and the quality of the room is first class all the way. The players are usually better here than at most other rooms, so you better know what you're doing. I especially like the daily tournaments. If you read my profile you'll see that I normally don't play daily/weekly tournaments, but here, the daily tournaments are more like larger events with bigger buy-ins ($500 weekdays, $1000 weekends) and a good structures. They give $3000-5000 starting chips.Atmosphere
5/5
First class all the way. One of the nicest rooms around.Dealers
5/5
Nothing stands out, but no problems either which probably means that they are good.Food and Drink
2/5
This is the one area where this room falls short. There is no problem at all getting drinks inside the room, but the food options near the room are bad. There is one snack counter nearby but the options are limited and it's usually fairly crowded (it's also next to the sports book so you're competing for service). There really aren't any good food options at this room.Wait Time/Overall Service
4/5
The service is good, but you often have to wait a bit since this is such a popular room. They do their best to keep things moving though.Comps
3/5
They don't seem to promote comps much; probably because they don't need to.Great poker in a hectic room!

4/5
I play here because of the great competition, and the kick out of seeing some of the notable poker stars who play here regularly, mostly in "Bobby's" room. Just like playing golf right in front of Tiger Woods. Just an exciting place to be if you love to play poker.Atmosphere
3/5
The room's tables and chairs use to be kind of shabby, but have been refurbished this year. The lone minus here is the crowded set-up, not much room between tables, and the constant noise. I do like a quieter atmosphere, but the room is most always busy, with lots of conversation.Dealers
4/5
Great group of dealers, among the best in town. They are always efficient and fast, and never any problems with rules or interpretations.

Service is as good as possible, because of the crowded situation between tables. Wait Time/Overall Service
4/5
Management is top drawer and does a terrific job under these hectic conditions. Most important is that they are always polite and keep a smile on. They are as good as you get in this town.Comps

They do not have to offer comps, so do not expect too much.Overall Impressions

The room is very nice with nice tables and chairs and good dealers, but the wait to get a seat is way too long and the tables are too close together for my liking.Atmosphere
