Taking A Poker Vacation But Need A Place To Go. Any Suggestions?
 

I'm taking a vacation at the end of this month and am looking for a place to go. Any good places to play 10-20 Holdem or 8 or Better Split in Atlantic City, Foxwoods, St.Louis, or any Michigan Casinos. I'm interested if the places have any good hotels to stay in also. Any suggestions welcome.

Good Luck

Mark

Does this mean that you have already excluded playing 3-6 in Bettendorf, or 1-2 at Catfish Bend in Ft Madison?

Seriously, try St Louis. Harrahs has nice hotel and cardroom with 10-20 on weekends. Ameristar (another nice facility) a couple miles away with 10-20, 20-40 almost always available. Downtown by the Arch, theres kind of a yucky facility - but you have to go there too to make your St Louis visit complete.

Check the archives in the B & M forum for some write ups on St Louis poker during the past 6 months or so.

The biggest downside of going to St Louis is that its only another 4 hours drive to get to Tunica.

Mark, I'm on the verge of a poker road trip driving to Kansas City, Council Bluffs, and Tama.

Mark,

Come to Foxwoods. We can go to the movies in Providence!

It's the end of October for gods sakes. The leaves are all gone in the north and it's getting cold.

Go to Vegas!

I concur with the other poster on St. Louis. Harrah's has a fairly decent hotel, and The Range is a decent restaurant there. The poker room at Ameristar is decent. Harrah's just opened right before I moved a couple of months ago so I never made it there. Contrary to what the other poster said, I've heard you're missing anything by not goign downtown to play.

You should know there is a state law limiting losses. I think the max is $500/hour? I don't know if that would sway you. Anyone know for sure?

Do not go to Tahoe.

Jimbo,

Tahoe is two far away. I did go to Harvey's about 10 years ago when I was on a business trip and stayed there for the weekend.

Good Luck

Barry,

Since poker is played indoors it does not matter what the temperature is outside. I'm tired of the hassle of airport security and Vegas is too far to drive. But, I will probably be out their for WSOP next year.

Good Luck

Abe,

I gave up any poker lower than 6-12. With the exception of 8 or Bettor Split, because you can make money at any limit in this game.

If I end up going to St.Louis, I will probably be taking my mom with me since she is a Diamond Club member at Harrah's. But, I'm thinking of going out east this trip.

Good Luck
