Re: Nicest Poker Room in the US

Meh, I wasn't aiming to get lots of answers. Your question made the assumption that everybody here is playing to maximize monetary profits, I was just pointing out a different motivation. [/ QUOTE ] Keep in mind 2+2 attempts to attract and cater to the player who wants to better themselves, its a publishing company that provides strategy advice first and foremost. The other motivation factor is an anomaly because 2+2 has gotten so huge, the recreational player who is more concerned with comfort than playing good poker isn't the target audience though.

next time your in vegas, try binions poker room. it has that "old vegas" feel to it, tons of tables, the staff is awesome! and has a nice mix of quality players and lots of juicy fish running around just waiting to give their money away! [/ QUOTE ] if by awesome you mean dealers who are horrible and probably can't get a job in a better room, then I'd agree. Sorry.... the staff there isnt very good.

[/ QUOTE ] I believe that the regular audience varies between boards on 2+2. I totally agree that the target audience for the strategy forums is the serious player looking to get better. IMHO, the target audience for the NVG forum is the recreational poker fan / player, as opposed to the serious student of the game. Judging by the topics of typical B&M posts, I would say that the typical regular B&M poster/lurker is somewhere in between. Just look at the popularity of TR posts that have minimal strategic content. They are entertainment and they are targeted at people that want to be entertained, not the person who wants to grind their way to being a better player. In short, I think we have a variety of poker enthusiasts on this forum. Probably a wider range than most of the other boards at 2+2. Thats one of the cool things about the B&M forum.

If I take a flight into minneapolis are there any buses or trains to the park. Or is it close enough for a taxi ride? I'd like to take a trip there, is there decent hotel accommodations. Nice enough for me to stay 3-4 days? sorry for the thread hijack

Sure the NVG fanboy/recreational audience might overlap, but 2+2 doesn't actively target them except to convert them into future book consumers who are looking for strategic advice. but we have deviated enough from the topic, lets get back on track!

Re: Nicest Poker Room in the US
For those who have been to multiple poker rooms and the one at the Horseshoe in Tunica, how does that one rank overall? In what ways are other rooms better - waitresses, dealers, chairs, TVs, noise, lighting, etc?

No hotel on site but several are right down the street near the front entrance next to the highway.
