Poker in Mesquite?

I've searched here and in other places and I have been unable to find any info on poker in Mesquite, NV. I've seen TV commercials saying somewhere, I think the Oasis, has a poker room, but I was wondering if anyone had been there and knew room size, limits spread, and whether they have any tournies.

Not an enormous room but nice. they will spread nearly any limit desired but always run 3/6 4/8 and some 1/2NL. there are daily NL tournies including the upcoming oasis poker championship the first week of september.

Go to http://www.oasisresort.com/ for the basic info on the oasis.

The oasis open poker tournament happens twice a year, I always go and it's a cool place to be, good tourneys, lots of poker including O-8, good people etc. Rooms $15 a night for players in those tournaments,

http://www.oasisresort.com/index.php?PID=CASINO has a link to the poker room and oasis open info. The oasis open is run by Jan Fisher and Linda Johnson, so obviously it's run very well.

I recommend the place when you want to get out of vegas for a few days.

Virgin River has 2 tables 4-8 when I was there...must move deal...

Thanks for the responses. I can't make the Open, but does anyone know the structure of the daily tournies? Are they the typical low buy-in, quickly escalating blinds, bingo-fests?

Trust me on this one...the Eureka casino (located next to the Virgin River) is the best game in Mesquite. They spread 4-8. On my way home from Vegas (live in Colorado) I stopped for the night in Mesquite and turned $140 into $350. You get a lot of local kids from St. George Utah who think they can play....easy pickin's.
