Caesars Palace is one of the largest poker rooms in Las Vegas. The problem is that it has never really taken off. The poker room is down a hallway, set away from the rest of the casino. This creates less foot traffic than most other poker rooms due to the lack of visibility. The 25 table poker room offers two main games. Those games are 1/3 and 2/5 No Limit Texas Hold’em. There is a small limit game from time to time as well.
In Caesars Palace poker room players are set back in a private room that is completely separate from the rest of the casino. This creates a private, more intimate poker setting. The poker room is in top shape, with quality chairs, tables and chairs. Each table has an automatic shuffler. There are many TVs on the walls, although some seats are not within a good view of them. Players may receive a massage while playing. They may also order off of a tableside menu. The sports book is just outside of the poker room, as well as the restrooms.
Because the poker room is completely separate from the casino floor it makes the poker room very quiet and noise free. The area just outside of the poker room is smoky and loud. That is because Pure Nightclub and a large sports book are located just outside of the poker room hallway. However the playing environment is one of the most chilled in Vegas.
Players who play poker at Caesars in Vegas receive $1 an hour in comps on their Total Rewards card. Comps may be used for food, hotel, or other services. However, there is no poker rate offered for the Caesar’s Palace hotel.

How to Find Caesars Poker Room
Getting to the poker room will require a lot of walking, regardless of where you enter. Players that self park will have to take the elevators to the casino floor. After that, make two rights. When you get to the main casino floor, follow the far left wall past all of the table games. After following that wall for several hundred feet, the sports book will appear. The poker room is right behind it. Players entering from valet, the street, or taxi drop off, will need to make a right and walk across the casino floor straight back. The poker room will be on the right just past the Pure Nightclub.
