Since 85% of the poker year occurs outside the WSOP summer, we’ve decided to put together a brief summary of each of the Strip poker rooms to give you some idea of what to expect. One of the most common questions we get from Vegas rookies at the Red Chip Poker forum is “where should I play poker?” We addressed this question in our WSOP Guide, but that, of course, is tailored specifically to the situation during the annual WSOP. We recommend using the Bravo poker app and contacting poker rooms directly in order to guarantee receiving current information about game availability.
We will update this article with substantive changes as they develop. The main purpose of this article is to describe the nature of games in various Strip rooms.
Currently, many rooms are closed, with some ambiguity on whether those closures are permanent. March 2022 Update: The COVID-19 pandemic produced an unpredictable situation for poker availability on the Las Vegas Strip that continues to evolve.
