PokerNews has a review of the Sandia room by Ashley Adams.
I’ve played in Albuquerque a few times but havn’t played in Santa Fe yet. Poker News has a nice review of Camel Rock Casino in Santa Fe.
It’s North of Stillwater, South of Ponca City, just East of I35.
The casino itself is kind of a dumpy place, on weekends they have live music with a really bad sound system that just blasts noise into the poker room. It’s not the music I don’t like, they often have blues or country, stuff I like, but the noise volume in the poker room is just intolarable.
It’s a small room, 6 tables. Decent games, decent dealers, it’s pretty much all 1/2 NLHE, with a 5/10 NLHE or 1/2, 5 to go PLO or NLE every once in a while. Frequent tournaments.
I’m about an hour away and I like the games so I play whenever I get a chance.
Poker in Florida is changing. Adam LaBare has a report on The Poker Room in Jacksonville.
Overall MGM properties aren’t doing as well as the stock market would like to see, but the Gulf Coast crown jewel of MGM, Beau Rivage in Biloxi is performing pretty well.
LAS VEGAS — Casino operator MGM Mirage said Thursday its first-quarter profit climbed 17 percent on strong results from its Las Vegas Strip properties and its Beau Rivage resort in Mississippi, but results missed Wall Street estimates and its shares slid more than 3 percent in early trading.
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.

A little HORSE is good for the soul. Apparently none of the players that showed had read the article the PokerWorks Staff put up - if so they failed to mention it in the chat so their names could be removed from the ‘hex' list. Go..
