Poker Room
Binion's Horseshoe
BINION'S HORSESHOE
128 Fremont St.
Ghosts of players past haunt this vintage poker room where a big fat cigar and double shot of scotch beats a sit-down dinner if not a pair of kings. By a large margin, readers would rather ante up here than anywhere else with the Las Vegas Hilton's room finishing second ahead of the MGM Grand Hotel's.
Our Pick:
THE MIRAGE
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Although Texas Station is beginning to kick up its heels, The Mirage and Gold Coast have been dominating the poker room scene. The Mirage may be crowded with card specialists but that means a better chance of finding a game we like -- something with a low limit, of course.
