Reno and Tahoe Poker

Can anyone give me a rundown on the poker rooms in Reno and Tahoe? Lookinf for info on games spread, limits and quality of play.

in reno, peppermill, atlantis, and cc all has poker rooms, but they are all small and very smoky. i think reno poker sucks, but it's just my two cents.

I played at the Harvey's in Tahoe - bunch of regulars and many tourists - easy to get a game -they had 3/6 and 4/8 HE and always had a spot at a spread limit stud game.


I played there (3/6) 2 nights in a row for about 10 hours total and left nearly $300 up.


I didn't want to disrupt the table to much as it was a fairly friendly game with loose pre-flop play. I played pretty tight and only showed down hands when I had nuts or near-nuts and I still would have people calling me on the river with high card or middle pair. It was nuts - but I loved it.


There was an old timer there who played every night - he'd buy in for a rack and was done in an hour. He'd re-buy for 2 more racks usually and then leave when he'd donated all of that.


I'd love to go back there and play. I think the 4/8 had some better players - but the 3/6 was just fine with me.


We didn't play anywhere else - although I'm sure there are other casinos on Tahoe's north shore that have poker rooms.


If you are on south shore - Harvey's is the only place to play.

South Lake Tahoe - Harvey's has the only current room. Horizon is going to open one, supposedly this summer. Harvey's had a 3-6 HE and a 10-20 w/ 1/2 kill HE + 1-5 Stud going over Mother's Day weekend. I only played the 3-6 HE...it was pretty soft.


Reno - Peppermill had a 4-8 w/ full kill HE and a 15-30 HE + 1-5 Stud. The 4-8 game was great while I was there last April.


Atlantis was pretty dead. Stayed there last year, and played at the Peppermill instead.


Reno Hilton had the biggest room/most games, but I didn't play there...plan on hitting that place next time.

has a big jackpot if it hasent been won in lasst 3 days over 100000. they have 3/6 4/8 holdem with 1/2 kill.
