The only room I've ever played at that was nicer may not exist anymore - it was the Lodge in Blackhawk, CO. They had this huge wall of windows and it was, well, a mountain lodge. Beautiful to watch a snowstorm while playing cards.

It is still there and still looks like that. Everyone tells me that they like the room I work in better, but I prefer the Lodge.

RR - this sounds very nice, should I road trip it? How many hours from vegas? Whats the limits these rooms spread?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well the most you can bet in this state is $5, so $5 limit. I think about 10-12 hours from Vegas.

Go in the winter. Stop for a day of skiing in Aspen, then go to Breckenridge (eat at the Hearthstone restaurant downtown), then go to Blackhawk for a day. Turn back around and do the same on the way back.

Last time I did that I broke my elbow in 6 places and had to pay someone $500 to drive me home + their return flight costs. I think I am done skiing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Or you could take your own personal former ski instructor. Who also is a professional driver. What more could you ask for?
