Playing Poker at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas
Monday, December 31st, 2007Surrounded by many tourist attractions, the MGM poker room has no trouble tempting players to join in the action. The MGM poker room is high energy. The Centrifuge bar is one of the placecs to be seen in Vegas. It is a great place to hang out if you are waiting for a table. It is full of beautiful people.
The fixtures and fittings are brand new. The room is state of the art. MGM have decided invested heavily and it shows.

The cool, young crowd at MGM means that there are many inexperience young players. Many play like they barely have a grip on the rules of poker. This is great if you fancy cleaning up at the lower limits.
The dealers are very friendly and in the most part good. They do however make quite few mistakes and this slows down the play considerably. They may need to go back to poker school or invest in some seasoned pros. Both the dealers and the management at MGM poker room really know how to treat their guests but without the professionalism to back it up it can start to get irritating.
This goes double for the table service. I wouldn’t want to be dying of thirst at a table in the MGM poker room. You could literally wait an hour for service. Once you have ordered it seems to be alright, but those waitresses are pretty elusive.
Essentially the MGM is a fun place to play poker occasionally but I wouldn’t base my professional career in this place.
