Poker Road Trips

The last time I was in Las Vegas I kept notes in a little pocket notebook, intending to blog about everything later. Then the notebook went through the washing machine, those blog posts along with it.

I didn’t actually play that much poker, becuase I was in town with a non poker playing girlfirend. But I did play at Caeser’s Palace. Poker News has a post reviewing the Caeser’s room  It reads almost like ad copy (well, not almost) but, even so, it’s a good summary of some of the features of the room.

I was pleased with my short experience in the room.  I played in the early morning, the room had 4-5 games going, but the room is so large it looked like it was empty.  I played in a short-handed 5/10 NLHE game, still going at 4 or 5 in the morning.  They also had a full 1/2 (or maybe it was a 1/3) game going and a couple of low limit games.  I had no complaints about the staff performance and even at that odd hour the cocktail service was pretty good.  I don’t remember if you can order an espresso at the table, but I did find an all night espresso bar between the parking lot and the poker room, so I brought in espresso with me into the room and that made me happy enough.
