Weekend Wait-Time: Weekdays < 30 minutes Weekends 30 to 60 minutes can go much higher when jackpot is large Smoking Allowed: No Poker Room Rate: No Editor's Review - Green Valley Ranch Poker Room Total Rating: 3.50 Room Quality Rating: 4 *** On 10/3/06 Green Valley Ranch opened a brand new poker room. This review is for the old poker room. An updated review will be posted soon. The pictures on the right show the new poker room. *** The Green Valley Ranch poker room is a classy room with a serious sports bar vibe. It is located in an elevated corner area, adjacent to the sports book, and it has more televisions inside it than any other 11-table poker room in Las Vegas. I counted six flat-screens, two projection-screens, and at least a dozen smaller 27" televisions. This is undeniably one of the best poker rooms in Vegas to watch a ball game. A central feature is the full bar located right inside poker room. This probably exists because a restaurant used to occupy the space where the poker room now sits. It's a cool feature, and I think it adds to the sports-bar atmosphere. Drinks should come super quick when the room isn�t totally packed. The actual poker room is adorned in a rich looking burgundy color scheme. The carpet, tables, and standard leather poker chairs all match nicely. There is very good targeted lighting above each table. The tables are brand new with GVR logos and commitment lines. There are drink holders and auto shufflers at every table. Another noteworthy feature is the excellent spacing between the tables. The GVR brass could have squeezed a few more poker tables in the room. But, unlike Wynn, thankfully here they chose not to. The space gives the room a very open feeling, which I love. This was probably a very good decision because I expect the clientele at the Green Valley Ranch poker room to be locals looking for a comfortable room to grind out a few bucks at the low limits. The locals wouldn''t put up with a cramped poker room. There are just too many options in town these days. Competition Rating: 3 I have only played the $4/8 Hold�em game here, but the players were pretty bad; very weak-passive. Lots of loose calls pre-flop with garbage hands, only to then call to the river with nothing but bottom pair. Just because most of the players are locals definitely does not mean that most of the players know anything about poker. Dealer Rating: 4 Most of the dealers are competent and experienced. A lot of the dealers transferred here from other Station-owned poker rooms. It's actually refreshing to see a brand new poker room open without totally green dealers. Some of these dealers have been in the poker business for many years, and it shows. Most are also pretty friendly as well, as they are probably accustomed to getting to know their regular customers. Cocktail Rating: 4 The cocktail waitresses are young, friendly, and definitely above average looking. They also serve Red Bull in the can, which is always a huge plus in my book. I absolutely must mention that a cocktail waitress here served me the best cherry Coke I have ever had. I typically ask for my cherry Cokes with extra cherries, and this young lady loaded me up with SEVEN cherries. That's a new record. Well done! The only blemish here is that the cocktail service can be a little slow. This is somewhat surprising considering there is a full bar inside the poker room, but with 11 full tables, and only one waitress, it can easily take 20-30 minutes per drink. Speed is critical in the cocktail service department, so this is really a big negative, and it's the only thing preventing these ladies from being rated a five. If they can improve the speed, perhaps by adding another waitress when the room is packed, then I'll be a happy man. Management Rating: 2 The worst list management I have ever experienced. Green Valley Ranch has to fix this. On opening night the poker room was out of control because of the poor management. They definitely need to add a podium where players can check-in, and perhaps a computer-based list management system also. In addition, the management must focus much more closely on being warm and attentive to their customers. I want to love this poker room, but the bad management is like a black eye on super-model -- She would be a beauty to look at, but unfortunately the black eye is all you can focus on. All I see when I think of the Green Valley Ranch is the bad management. I want this to change, and I think that it will. Comps Rating: 3 $1 per hour in comp dollars. Also, the poker room is tied into the Station casino super-jackpot, the biggest progressive poker jackpot in Vegas.
