I am thinking of spending 6 weeks in Lake Tahoe. Can anyone please tell me what the poker is like there? What Casinos offer poker, what limits to they play, do they have a game every day, etc. (I only play hold’em).
Answer 1:
In South Lake Tahoe the only poker room is at Harvey’s Casino. I don’t know about the year-round action. I go over the July 4th holiday each year when it’s packed with tourists. There are plenty of locals though, and it’s a pretty nice card room. They spread 1-6 stud, holdem, and omaha with a jackpot.
Answer 2:
North Shore offers the only other poker alternative – The Hyatt spreads Hold ‘em and Pineapple (I can’t remember if it’s crazy or not). Normal 2-6 limits, etc.
Answer 3:
The Harvey’s room is great. Well run, good 1-4-8 game. Nice locals, great tourists, various jackpots, higher stakes, plus nl or pl game a lot of the time too. I found the game very easy to beat, a lot of tourists. Also, I won a nice Royal jackpot of a few hundred. — I have never seen a royal jackpot anyplace else.
