The poker room at Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas has struggled. It often hosted just one game when it was not dark. Special hotel events might help the poker room spread a second table. The poker room held a special event earlier this year that expanded the poker room to 12 table but those crowds are the exception and not the rule. Most games at the room are 1/3 No Limit Texas Hold’em.
The jackpot giveaway has not drastically increased poker room traffic. There are two 1/3 No Limit Texas Hold’em games running on Friday afternoon with five players on the wait list, according to Bravo Poker Live.
The closest poker room to Hard Rock Casino is at Silver Sevens. That is located at Flamingo and Paradise Roads. That is one block north of Hard Rock casino, located at Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road. The main game at Silver Sevens is 2/4 Fixed Limit Hold’em with an occasional 1/2 No Limit Hold’em game.
The news of the Hard Rock Casino’s poker room closure came one week after MGM’s announcement that the one at Monte Carlo would close. The scheduled date for that closure is April 24, 2017.
