Golden Nugget Moves Poker Room

[Howard Burroughs]

The Golden Nugget (In Las Vegas) has moved into their new room.

They have gone from 20 tables to an 8 table room.


The good news:

1) It's a much better location with lots of passing pedestrian traffic.

2) They still have great comps.

3) It's still non-smoking.


The bad news:

1) The NOISE!

It's in the open between the snack bar and the pit. It's also right beside a gazilion very popular & extremely noisy slot machines.

They went from being the quietest room in town to being the noisiest.


2) Even though it's non-smoking, the way the poker area is situated, it's still a bit smoky at times.



*****************************


Not sure if this will change but for now, they are a hold'em only room (ala Imperial Palace).


Best Wishes

I am coming to Las Vegas the 29th and planned on hitting their AM tourney a few times. Is the tourney affected by the move? Thanks....

[Howard Burroughs]

Hi Sparticus,


The morning tournaments have been "changed" I'm told.

The way they work now.......

Every morning at 11:00 am.

$60 buy-in.

Limit hold'em the first hour.
Turns into no-limit hold'em after the first hour is up.







If you're in town on a Wednesday, feel free to drop by the poker discussion group at the Shoe (2:00 pm in a cool room way in the back of the coffee shop).



Have a great time in Vegas!


Best of Luck

Howard

Thanks Howard. I will arrive late afternoon on the 29th, but I am staying 10 days so barring a Red Sox/Angels playoff series, I hope to hit the discussion group on the 6th.

I am seriously bummed about the Nugget tourneys changing. I like the overlay that unlimited rebuys gives me. Oh well, I may as well play the Mandalay or Luxor tourney as I heard they are the same format. I will probably try them all. Hope to get to meet you at the discussion group....

Thats too bad. When I was in Vegas during the labor day long weekend I played a few tournies there. Both had nearly 150 players. Not sure if that was because of the long weekend but with 8 tables, I am sure it will sell out quickly.
