Las Vegas is a paradise for poker players. On the Strip, but also in Downtown Las Vegas, numerous poker rooms offer wild poker action 24/7. There always are many tourists in Vegas, whether for holiday, a convention or a wedding. The lowest stake are $1/$2 for No Limit poker and $2/$4 for Limit poker, but there are some casino's which offer sometimes lower stakes too. The highest stakes are found in the prestigious Bobby's Room inside the Bellagio, where Doyle Brunson and Phil Ivey are regular visitors.
Las Vegas' casino's are spread over the entire city, but there are two clusters of casino's to which most tourists go. Firstly, there is Downtown Las Vegas, with legendary casino's like the Horseshoe and the Golden Nugget. Although according to many oldtimers, this is the is thé real Las Vegas, we recommend tourists to go to the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Strip, where amongst others the Venetian, Wynn and Bellagio are located.
The era that the Mob ran the Las Vegas casino's is over and most casino's nowadays are run by big corporations. Consequence is that many casino's have been subject to acquisition. The 2 biggest casino groups in Vegas are Harrah's, which is owner of amongst others the Flamingo, Paris and Caesar's Palace and the MGM Mirage Group, which possesses the MGM, Mirage, Luxor amongst others.
