Has anybody ever gambled in the big easy? I'm heading down there this weekend and was hoping to get a little insight on where the place to play is.

Both Ballys and Harrahs have casino there so I doubt you could go wrong with them but only Harrahs lays claim to having poker tables, 20, to play at.

Check out Harrah's...Definately!!!

[jlavsfan]

Thanks guys. I'll definatly be sporting my denver poker.com shirt I got last weekend.

[tjholdem]

Hey buddy, did you make it to Harrah's...what did you think????

[Stryker]

More importantly...Did you wear the shirt?? =)

[jlavsfan]

I did make it to harrahs, however it was at the tail end of a night out on the town so needless to say I didn't have my shirt. I bought in $60 around 12:30 or 1:00 AM and played $3-$6 until around 9:30 AM. I was up to around $120 and told myself when I hit $150 I would quit and never quite made it. Damn greed... :wink:

[Stryker]

That's too bad...when i gamble in the casinos, I usually stop after doubling my money...

[jlavsfan]

Me too "normally" but there was nothing normal about this trip. I would say that more than likely it was the hurricanes that disabled my logical thought process.

[Stryker]

At least you were only down 60$ after 10+ hours of playing...so it wasn't a complete loss =)

[jlavsfan]

That was my thought exactly. I actually spent much less in the casino than I did in 3 hours on bourbon street.

it dosent matter . You could have made it to 150$ and you would have never stoped. that the most famous words in the gambling world. "I will stop when i hit xxx.xx$ i swear." and you know what no one ever dose. thats why Las Vages is still in business. LOL :lol:

Did you like the poker room at Harrah's????

[jlavsfan]

Yeah, the poker room was really big, I'd say 25 tables or so and even late night they were pretty packed. The dealers were knowledgable and friendly. There was also a good range of players from 21 years old to 65-70. Their lowest stakes game was $3-$6 with a miinimum $30 buy in. There was a no limit game going too, just too rich for my blood.
