MGM Grand Poker Room Info

MGM Grand Poker Room
By Dana Tibbets

In Las Vegas, there are poker rooms everywhere you turn. Each one has its own personality, and you can easily find one that suits your mood and style when it is time for you to sit down for a few hands. Some rooms are very focused and free of many outside distractions, while others are wild, carefree, and all about fun. The MGM Grand poker room has the best of both worlds. If you are looking for a poker room with fast paced action, great new technology, and a fun party environment, the poker room at the MGM Grand might be just the place for you.

The MGM poker room offers a wide range of stakes, games, and tournaments to satisfy the poker preferences of just about any player. Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and 7-card stud are just a few of the games you can play at the tables here. Stakes at their tables start at one to two dollars; depending on the game, with minimum buy-ins at the no limit tables ranging from one hundred to five hundred dollars, depending on the stakes. There are No Limit Hold'em tournaments at 11 am, Monday through Friday and at 6 pm, Sunday through Thursday. There are play options available for most anyone who wants to sit down for a great poker game.

The latest in gaming technology is used at the tables here, making your game as convenient and fair as can possibly be. A high tech computer system links everything within the MGM, allowing for wonderful service. Their waiting list system allows the management of the poker room to quickly seat the next player at the game of their choice as a seat becomes available. They also offer a personal paging system to each person on the waiting list, allowing them to explore other areas of the casino while waiting for a seat. Card readers at each table let the dealers swipe comp cards to be certain players are getting all the rewards they are entitled to. Sophisticated card shuffling machines ensure fair play, no matter what style or stakes you are playing. With all the technology offered, you are sure to have a pleasant experience.

The poker room itself at the MGM Grand is an arena style room, allowing passersby to see the action, and players to people watch between hands, as well. An elaborate iron railing surrounds the playing area, keeping the gawkers from spoiling an intense game with their presence and comments. The room has an open layout with lots of space between each table. This allows you to concentrate on the game in front of you, rather than be distracted by what's going on at the next table. Ample sized chairs are covered in a soft suede type fabric, making long games comfortable. Marble rimmed tables add a rich feel to the high-class decor of the room. The MGM Grand has outdone itself by making their players feel like royalty when seated in their poker room.

A few different ingredients create the energy in the poker room at this beautiful hotel. The nonsmoking atmosphere makes it a comfortable place to play for any player. Right next door to the poker room is the Grand's hot and happening nightclub, the Centrifuge. The sounds of music playing in the club adds to the excitement at the poker tables. A competent and always present wait staff brings food and beverages direct to players at the tables. There are even massage therapists who can help you relieve the stress and tension of a tough game, right at your tableside seat.
