First rate room. While not as big as some of its LA counterparts such as the Bike and Commerce it is bigger than any room I've played at outside of Los Angeles. It reminds me of a big version of the Bellagio poker room. Which should be surprising since Larry Flynt regularly hosts many of the same high stakes players who play in the 'big game' at the Bellagio including Phil Ivey and Barry Greenstein. I especially like the weekly tournaments here. They have them in a nice private room near the back. The tournaments are well run and very classy. At many casinos the tournaments are held in cheesey banquet-type rooms with temporary tables and folding chairs. Not here. The tournament room, tables and chairs are very nice and there are flat screen TV's in plain view of most tables.

Very big, great tables and chairs, dealing machines for all cash games. The area isn't particularly nice, but it's only a minute from the 110 highway, so it's pretty safe. Also, the security seems fine so there is nothing to be concerned with. Actually all of the LA casinsos are in 'so-so' areas, but it's never been an issue given their proximity to the freeways and the security they offer.

Very friendly staff. Especially the tournament staff.

Great food and service. The menu is extensive and they serve at the tables -- even during touranaments.

Not much wait for the NL games I play. I did want to try the Omaha H/L a few times, but they only run one game when I've been there and the wait time was pretty long.

Seems to be good. I'm not a member but most players have cards.

This is the absolute best place to play in LA. It's close to the 405 and the coast and has a great feel to it. I play mostly the 2/5 NL game where the buyin is from $100-300 max. There are usually 4-6 tables spread in this limit and they sometimes run a $5/10 NL game with a $600 max. They also have some great weekly tournaments starting at 7pm each night with buyins in the $100-150 range. Some days they have rebuys others no rebuys. There are plenty of regulars here who thing they really know how to play poker, but I haven't found the competition to be especially tough. I've played both solid TAG poker and LAG poker and both styles have worked very well for me.

Not too big, but also it's not a small casino by any means. They have a new tournament room that is very nice and modern. It should be it just opened! They use card machines to shuffle on all cash tables.

No issues with the dealers. For the most part they seem fine.

No big problems here, although it did take quite a while last Tuesday to get a drink order in. I gues sthe service could be a bit better. I do love the food here. They have a big menu with lots of ethnic food choices to serve all of their various customer tastes and the prices are reasonable.

I rarely wait longer than 20 minutes for a table to open.

They have a good comp card program. It's easy to earn points towards food and gifts at their shop. The manager comes around regularly and to swipe your comp card.

I really enjoy the Hustler. The casino is bright, friendly and there's lots of games.

It's a pretty posh room with good tables and chairs and plenty of room. There is an indoor smoking room.

I have played there many times and never really had a complaint.

You can eat at the tables, and the food is not bad. They also have a sushi bar which is pretty good. The drink girls come around often, but sometimes you have to wait a little longer when they're packed.

The wait for the 1/2 nl is usually about 10-15 min which is not bad. The staff are always helpful so no complaints.

They do have a badbeat jackpot for most games, though I'm not sure of the amount. The comps are great; as long as you are playing you can use your PCC for meals.

This is my favortie room in LA. Very big, tons of games and the atmosphere is high energy and exciting. Waitresses, as you would expect are very atttractive. The tournament play is great and they recently opened up a huge new tournament room. They run the best daily tournaments in the area.

They still keep the lists on blackboards, but other than that everything is very modern. Auto shufflers, great seats, nice tables, beautiful flat screen TV's with fancy frames around them on every wall. Great sports bar upstairs. It's a great place.

I've never had an issues with the dealers. They all seem to know what they are doing.

The service is pretty good, but sometimes it can take a while to get a waitress. The food is served at the tables and the menu is huge. They have a great sushi bar and fish is very fresh.

They have plenty of tables and the wait time is rarely more than 15 minutes for most NL games.

They have all the standard comp deals going.

Overall, this is a great room for a mid-limit player. There's always plenty of ring game action and the waits are very reasonable (<30 minutes, typically). The weekly tournaments are some of the best in LA and they've recently opened a new tournament room. It's pretty easy to get to (right off the 110 freeway). There's plenty of free parking and the valet service is quick and cheap, if you're lazy like me!

The Hustler is very nice inside. It's got a more luxurious feel than any other room in LA, but it's not cheesy, at all. The tables and chairs are in great shape and comfortable, although it can get crowded sometimes. The tables are pretty close together.

The dealers are ok by LA standards--some good dealers, others that seem like they'd rather be somewhere else. That said, I've played the Hustler a ton and rarely see misdeals or mistakes. The floor is also readily available for any possible problems. Special note: the tournament staff are great. The nightly tournaments are some of the best run tournaments in LA.

Food and drink service is available tableside. Service in the main poker rooms is great; in the tournament area, it's harder to find the wait staff. You pretty much have to eat at the poker room; there's no decent alternatives nearby. The food at the tables is just average, but the sushi bar and upstairs restaurant are pretty good.

The waiting lists at the Hustler are manual sign-up, but the floor staff do a great job with managing the lists. They're polite and attentive, and it's easy to hear your name called anywhere in the room. Wait times for most games are typically pretty short.

Sign up for a Hustler card and you'll accrue comp points every hour or so. Food in the bigger limit games ($500 NL, for example) is free. There's ongoing promotions and jackpots, but honestly, I don't pay much attention to them.
