Re: Oregon / Portland Casinos?
New Phoenix Casino in LaCenter (40 min. drive from Portland) - 7 tables total. Several 3-6, several 4-8, and 1 10-20 table. Very smoky and very fishy. You can drink there too! Two hour waits are not uncommon on the weekends and even some weeknights.
Chips in Lacenter - 3 tables total. 3-6 and 4-8. Very smoky, very fishy, and u can drink! Expect long lines on the weekends also.
Spirit Mountain (75 minute drive from Portland) - 18 tables total. Most weekdays will have several tables at each limit starting at 2-4 up to 10-20. A 1-2NL game is also spread almost every day. Weekends (especially tournament weekends) will have bigger limit and NL games spread. You can't drink in the pokerroom but it is non-smoking. Waits are typically less than 30 mintues even on weekends, and the lower stake games are all very beatable, even without people drinking.
I live in Portland also and prefer Spirit. No long waits, no smoke, just a slightly longer drive whish is worth it.
