Nevada Texas Holdem Poker Room Reviews

We’ve already brought you a series of Texas holdem poker room reviews for
casinos that offer this great game in Las Vegas and Reno, so now we move to the
rest of Nevada. The rest of Nevada mainly consists
of Laughlin, Northern Nevada, and Southern Nevada.

While no limit Texas holdem is the main game in Las Vegas, generally speaking
in the rest of Nevada you’ll find a lot more limit and spread limit games
running. Some of the larger poker rooms still offer no limit tournaments and
cash games so you can get your fix in this format regardless.

Laughlin is a major hub for casinos and gaming, mostly due to the proximity
with Arizona and California. It’s right on the border of the three states. So,
you’ll find a lot of good options in this city.

On top of this, Wendover is another good hub when it comes to casinos and
Texas holdem poker; due to the fact that it’s right on the border with Utah
where no gambling is permitted at all. So, every evening, especially on the
weekends, Utahans drive across the border in droves to get their gaming fill.

Because of this the casinos in Wendover will be quiet in the mornings and a
lot busier in the afternoons and evenings. So, if you want to play poker here
make sure you don’t go until after midday.

Nevada has some great options when it comes to Texas holdem poker rooms
outside of Las Vegas, so make sure that when you make the trip to the silver
state next time consider hitting up northern or southern Nevada, or even
Laughlin, to find some great poker action.

Here is our compiled list of all the poker rooms you can find
in the state of Nevada:
