Official Luxor Poker Room Website

This has become one of my favorite locals room over the last 6 months or so.

It is a standard strip-quality poker room with pleasant tables, drink holders, no smoking, and 2 TV’s. Bathrooms and a convenience store are 30 second walks from the room. When you think about playing poker in general, this is probably the type of default room that enters your mind. Nothing fancy and few frills, but comfortable for several hours of straight poker playing. Most tables have auto-shuffle (the 1/2 limit tables don’t have them).

Everything from first time players to experienced players are at these table. I prefer the $50 buy in No-Limit game with 1-1-2 Blinds. Though I play higher (10/20 or so) once a week at the Bellagio or Wynn, I can afford to play a NL couple of times per week with a small bankroll at the Luxor limit.

MOST of the games in the room are 2/4 and 4/8. 2/4 is pure luck for the most part. Playing 4/8, If you are decent, you should make money over the course of several hours, but you will still have 4 people calling you to the river when you have pocket Kings, so don’t get too excited about premium hole cards at the low limits.

30-40 average age. Not a ton of MTV kids trying to impress everyone. Not alot of maniacs. Not alot of grizzled old folks who make a scene when they get a bad beat. Mostly people who can afford to lose gracefully, but try hard to win or sharpen their skills. A great place to just relax and play poker.

I really like most of the dealers. They genuinely just seem to want to keep the action going so everyone else can have a good time.

The proximity of the convenience store where you can get huge bottles of water, soda, beer, snacks, etc … makes it easy enough to get your own stuff, for about what you would pay for the tip. There is usually a single cocktail waitress, and I would budget 20 minutes from the time you get thirsty, to the time you actually get a drink. Frankly, this is about average. They are generally friendly, however. Personally, I wait until the button passes, then go to the convenience store. I will be back with my stash well before my blind.

Sheldon (the first guy you will interact with at the podium) is my favorite part about the room. A truly nice guy, remembers you, asks about the wife and kids, etc. The staff calls you by name. They try hard to get you the game you want. They thank you for playing in their room. They actually appreciate your patronage. I think the room is run efficiently. I would like to see the electronic list taking, etc of the MGM … but for a standard low-tech poker room, I feel like this is about as good as it gets.

This place has some of the sweetest comps of any poker room on earth. $20,$50,$100 for 4 of a kind, straight flush, and Royal Flush. $3,500 freeroll invite with 15 hours of play per week. The freeroll is usually a chopped pot which yields you $5/hour for simply playing in the room. You can make $300 month just playing 2/4 limit for 15 hour/week in the room. That is hard to beat.
