Small Wynn NLHE games

samster · #1 02-20-2007, 12:08 AM

I can't find up to date information on the Wynn poker room. I'm staying there this coming weekend and I won't have a lot of time to move from casino to casino while my GF gets spa treatment, so I'd like to play there.

I read at one point that there is a NL game with 1-3 blinds with a min buyin of $200 and no cap. Is this still accurate and how is the game? Can I get free drinks while I play?

Also, even though it's off topic, can someone suggest a couple nice dinner places that would be under $200 for a couple?

http://poker.wikia.com/wiki/Wynn also looks pretty up to date. "Cocktail service is excellent, free drinks include things like juliuses, and the waitresses are the hottest in vegas by far."

Does this mean I can't get free alcohol while I play?

Can't speak for the Wynn, but free drinks are pretty standard. For example, I usually drink Red Bull when I can get it, and alcohol is not a problem. As long as you're playing (even a tourney) and you're tipping, the waitresses will bring you (almost) whatever you want. For many, that includes top shelf liquor.

1-3 min100 buyin, people usually buyin 300 bucks at a time, 3 dollar chips, sometimes cash plays for some reason (usually they run short of 3 dollar chips for this to happen i guess)

just got back from there, i'd prefer venetian 1-2 game than the 1-3 at wynn, poker room seems a little relaxed on their rules and regulations

Yes, you can get free alcohol, but sometimes service is spotty. Every once in awhile the cocktail waitresses just all disappear for an extended period of time. Luckily there's a bar right next to the poker room, so you can buy your own drink if you get thirsty enough.

I've never been to the Wynn, but I would take "cocktail service is excellent" to mean at least comparable to anywhere else in Vegas, i.e. free alcoholic drinks. I'm quite sure from all the other posts that they are in fact free.

Any restaurant in Wynn can do that provided you dont go overboard. And they are all stellar (except for Red 8 - that place is just average IMHO).

Just got back from a three day stay at the Wynn - didn't play enough to merit a full trip report, but the following might be of interest.....

1) The 1-3 game has no cap, and was not too bad - good dealer, good service, and a couple of donks that just couldn't let go of A-x....I probably played a total of 10 hours and won about $800 without especially good cards.
2) The 10-20 half kill Omaha game was great - lots of action, and at least half the players seemed to have NO idea how to play. OTOH, Omaha players, by definition, are all squirrels, so there's a lot of extraneous nonsense going on - pissing, moaning, and bitching....got old pretty quick.
3)Dining at the Wynn - expect to pay like hell for very good food. If the weather is nice, an outside table at the clubhouse is very nice - the Italian restaurant just down from the poker room is very good. The coffee shop is stinking expensive, IMO. And the poster was right about red8, or whatever it is....OK, but not spectacular.

4) We were in an executive suite on the 54th floor...very nice for about 375 a nite...

Have fun.
