Nevada Gambling Laws

The Nevada gaming laws are more geared into regulating their casinos than creating headaches for the poker players in Nevada.  Then again, why would you play any kind of casino game or any non-social poker game anywhere in Nevada other than a licensed casino.  We are not certain if placing a wager is illegal, so we can not say for sure on whether or not online poker is legal or not in Nevada.
    Nevada is set to be the first state to regulate online poker within the borders of Nevada.  This is a huge plus for the state and for the online poker players in Nevada.  This mean more jobs, more state revenue and a safer environment for the poker players in Nevada.  Currently there are no poker licenses, but that should change within the first half of 2012.  Right now if you are planning of playing online poker for the first time in Nevada, we would recommend that you wait until after the legislation passes.  The poker rooms that will be operating with licenses will be far superior and safer than your current options.

Las Vegas Poker Rooms

Most of the larger casinos will have a poker room in it, but you might be surprised to find out that some of the poker rooms are around the same size of your local poker room.  You might have expected a much bigger poker room in every casino on the strip, but if that happened there would be a lot of empty poker tables on the strip.  Find out where the best poker rooms are on the strip, on Freemont street, the newest poker rooms and the largest poker rooms in Las Vegas.
    Some of newest and nicest poker rooms in Las Vegas are located inside the Arial Casino by the City Center, the Wynn, the Encore and the Bellagio Casino.
    If you do not want to play at a new casino than you could check out the poker room at the Flamingo.  If you want to play off the strip you could check out the Orleans Casino or head down to Freemont Street and play at the famous Binion's Hall of Fame Poker Room.
    Some other large poker room on the strip include the poker room inside the MGM Grand, Caesar's Palace, the Venetian and the Mirage.  If you want to play at the same casino that hosts the WSOP, then you will need to visit the poker room at Rio Las Vegas.
