| Texas Station Poker Room Description |
|
The Texas Station Poker Room offers 2-6 Spread Limit Hold'em with Overs, a Las Vegas rarity. Brick walls surround the interior of the poker room with dark brown wood to accentuate the surrounding areas. The ceiling is quite low, when compared to a lot of the new poker rooms in the Las Vegas area, but this makes for a well lit playing area with no shadows to be seen. Some black and white photographs decorate the side and back walls. This is a testament of the atmosphere you are about to immerse yourself in.
The Texas Station poker room is one of the cleanest off strip poker rooms that I have ever visited There are garbage cans located throughout the room. One thing that is immediately noticeable is the amount of ceiling fans located throughout the poker room. This makes for some comfortable poker play on those 115 degree Las Vegas summer days.
The tables are the same type of 10 handed poker tables that you’ll find in many of the poker rooms in Las Vegas. The player tracking system that is currently in use at MGM Grand and the T.I. is also present here where the player sitting down presents his comp card to the dealer. The dealer then swipes the card, presses a seat button, and the player is now tracked for the entire time he plays. This tracks your playing time for your comp dollars which is explained in the comps rating section below. There is a wooden race track around the edge of the tables for players to put their chips on. Betting lines are printed on the felt and enforced properly. The tables are wrapped in a dark red felt, but are worn out cosmetically. There are lots of scratches and areas of the felt that the color is worn off completely. The cushioning under the felt is raised up about ½” from the wooden track. This allows for cards to sit at an angle and might be seen by other players around the table. Management had cup holders installed into the rail to prevent drinks from being spilled while placed on the table. The rail itself is of average comfort and is black in color.
The chairs in Texas Station poker room are of below average quality and comfort. These are the same chairs that you’ll find in a lot of the low limit poker rooms scattered throughout the city. Dark brown in color, cushions are stiff, and you can see that the chairs have been around the block a few times. Also, the chairs have no wheels on them. One thing that could be made available to the players is extra cushions. Players whom do not mind the mediocre chairs will feel right at home here.
Food is not available at the Texas Station poker room, but there are nice mini tables that patrons may acquire to put various items on. These mini tables are on wheels and have two drink holders installed along with two shelves. This is perfect for the players who head to the back of the poker room and pick up a fresh cup of coffee. That is right, fresh pots of coffee are offered to all players. It’s a self serve system however.
Overall, the Texas Station poker room room is comfortable with a down home feel to it. Players who are not concerned with the glitz and glamour of some of the newer poker rooms in Las Vegas will feel right at home in the Texas Station Poker Room.
