The Venetian
The Venetian Poker Room stands out as a premier destination for poker enthusiasts in Las Vegas. Open 24/7, it offers a spacious, smoke-free environment with 32 tables featuring games like Limit Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em, Omaha 8 or Better, and Pot Limit Omaha.

The room also provides tableside food service from Grand Lux Cafe, enhancing the playing experience. Its reputation for professional staff and comfortable amenities makes it a top choice for both casual and serious players.
Bellagio
The poker room at The Bellagio remains one of the most iconic poker destinations in Las Vegas. Renowned for its elegance and high-stakes action, the room features 40 tables that regularly attract some of the best poker players in the world. The exclusive “Legends Room” (formerly “Bobby’s Room”) hosts the highest stakes games in a luxurious setting. With its elegant ambiance and top-notch service, you’ll find anyone from Joe Traveler to famous actors just looking to play a competitive game in a famous room.
Aria
Aria is one of the newest casinos on the Vegas Strip and is operated by MGM Resorts who also run Bellagio. When this 24 table poker room was opened the intent was for it to take the place of Bellagio as one of the top poker rooms in Las Vegas. They even emulated “Bobby’s Room” at Bellagio with “The Ivy Room” ( now simply called ‘Table 1’) for high stakes games. Much like Bellagio you’ll find a mix of high rollers, Joe Traveler and actors here. You may even see some locals trying to pluck off tourists that are just looking to play poker in a famous room. Besides competitive games the staff at the Aria poker room is lauded by all kinds of players.
Wynn
Wynn Las Vegas is one of the most luxurious casino/hotels in all of Las Vegas and their poker room resembles that. The poker room at Wynn may be the most beautifully decorated in Las Vegas. In addition the room is spacious and chairs are comfortable. While spacious, the room is sectioned off to make it feel cozy. Since Wynn caters to a high end casino customer you’ll find a more genteel vibe in the Wynn poker room than you will many others.
Caesars Palace
Caesars Palace’s poker room probably the most popular poker room with tourists. It makes sense since Caesars Palace is one of the most famous casino names in the world. It’s never a compliment when you hear a poker player described as a “tourist”. Tourists are just normal people that may or may not be skilled poker players. You’ll find a very busy poker room but you won’t find the most skilled players at Caesars Palace. In fact, you’ll often find more skilled poker players visiting Caesars Palace looking to pick off tourists emulating professionals that they see on TV. These games can get ugly but you’ll always find action in the Caesars Palace poker room.
Resorts World
The newly opened poker room at Resorts World is making waves with its spacious and comfortable setting. This sleek, 24/7 poker room boasts 30 spacious tables with plush seating and personal USB charging ports. Whether you’re in for cash games or daily tournaments, there’s something for every skill level. Plus, enjoy tableside food service to keep you fueled. High-stakes games and special events add to the excitement, making this the go-to spot for poker enthusiasts looking for both comfort and competitive action in a cutting-edge setting.
Red Rock
One of the best off strip poker rooms is at Red Rock Resort. Most of the players here live in Las Vegas but you’ll also find celebrities and athletes playing here while they try to avoid the spotlight of the Vegas Strip. The room is enclosed from the smoke and noise in the rest of the casino and appears larger than 20 tables would lead you to believe. Those 20 tables are almost always busy and packed so tight that it’s sometimes difficult to make your way in and out of the room. The one complaint about this room is that since many of the players are from the area and know each other they may collude against non-locals.
Golden Nugget
For a classic Las Vegas poker experience, the Golden Nugget Poker Room in downtown Las Vegas is a top choice. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and historical significance, this room offers a variety of games, including No-Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, and Omaha. With 13 smoke-free tables, the room provides a comfortable setting for both cash games and daily tournaments. Players can enjoy amenities such as tableside food service, USB charging ports, and regular promotions like high hand bonuses and a Bad Beat Jackpot. The Golden Nugget’s poker room is a perfect blend of old Vegas charm and modern conveniences.
The Orleans
Orleans is known for its community-oriented environment and regular low-stakes cash games and tournaments. The poker room is always busy and offers a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere compared to the Strip casinos
Horseshoe Las Vegas
The recently renovated Horseshoe Las Vegas, formerly Bally’s, features a poker room that has quickly become a favorite among both locals and visitors. With 18 tables offering a mix of Texas Hold’em and other cash games, it provides a welcoming environment for all players. Open 24/7, the room hosts six daily tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $100 to $160. Known for hosting the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the Horseshoe poker room combines modern amenities with a relaxed atmosphere, making it a top destination for poker enthusiasts.
