I walked through the Nugget last night and they have opened a new poker room...an actual room. It looks like they have new tables, and there were a bunch of plasma tvs hanging on the wall. I didn't play, but it looks like something that would belong on the Strip.
When I was 20 I remember walking through the Nugget and seeing the temporary poker room they had out by the swimming pool. It looked like a really fun atmosphere--I'd like to see it come back now that I'm 22 and can actually gamble in Vegas!

Yeah, I'd assume the old room is closed (I didn't walk by to find out). The new room is close to the old one, by a bar and close to the cage where you go for parking validation.

I went and played a session at the new room last night. It was packed due to one of their tournaments going on and the regular Sat. night crowd. Apparently they have brand new poker tables, but chose not to install AutoShufflers in them. It was a little cramped with all the tables being full, and I saw more than one waitress almost dump her drink tray after being bumped into. I never did play in the old room so I can't comment on if it is improved or not, but it definitely looks much better.

The new room is very nice. True, it's a little cramped, but being a room, it's not smokey and you don't have 20 guys looking over your shoulder @ your cards, then sitting down.
The new room is 100% better than the one they had near the snack bar and buffet line. However, I still liked it better when it was in the pavilion near the pool a few years ago.
