Nothing beats an in-person poker game. Online poker cannot duplicate the anticipation of the first hand, the feel of the poker chips and the interaction among players. Moreover, what place in the world has better Poker than Las Vegas?
If you have never ventured to Las Vegas or have never visited a Poker room before, take my word for it, these four casinos have excellent Poker rooms for any skill level, especially beginners. I have played in each room and these are in my opinion the best that Las Vegas has to offer.
