Environment
Red Rock offers a luxurious environment. The tables and chairs are in great shape. Restrooms are located within the poker room, a rare amenity in Las Vegas.
The dealers are above average during most shifts. Many have been at the property since it opened in 2006. There are some problems with favoritism towards regulars. The room is very cliquish.
The poker room is located right next door to the sports book. This can make it noisy during big games. Players can check into a game by phone or through the kiosks located just outside of the room. The Bravo Poker system is used to manage cash game waitlists and hourly comps.
Red Rock Poker Room Opinion
What We like about ROOM
The room is above average in terms of game quality and employees.
What We do not like about ROOM
Red Rock is known in the poker circles as being a place that gives hometown rulings in floor decisions. It is troubling as many players are friends and talk too much at the table while cards are in play. Players may want to consider this when deciding to play there.
