The Venetian poker room is the nicest setting in Vegas to play poker. It draws a crowd and is very popular. Everyone here feels like a VIP. It has comfortable lounges, beautiful décor and top quality service. Even the low limit players are treated well at the Venetian. The Tables are top notch. Lovely felt and comfortable arm rests. The popularity of the room can mean a long wait for a table at your limit.

For those with a bank balance bigger than most normal people they have a quality VIP area. But you need to be able to bankroll blinds of $1,000/$2,000 to even think about playing here.

Many of the players at The Venetian poker room are professional poker players. If you need to be at the mid to high limits you will be up against experienced and profitable players. However the Venetian is also a popular tourist trap. The lower limits may well be a place to clean up against the ‘have- a –goes’.

The dealers are professional and in the most part pleasant. They make few mistakes and they are fast, which is great for the hands per hour rate. Both the dealers and the management at The Venetian poker room really know how to treat their guests.

The Venetian hotel and casino

The Venetian is a great place to play poker. If you want a friendly comfortable atmosphere, with great table service the Venetian is for you. If you want terrible players at the high limits it is best to look elsewhere.
