If you’re a fan of poker, you might be wondering if there’s any action to be had in Lake Tahoe. The good news is that there are plenty of options for poker players in the area, whether you’re looking for a casual game or a more serious tournament.
First up, let’s take a look at the casinos in the area. Most of the major casinos in Lake Tahoe offer some form of poker.
Harrah’s and Harvey’s, both located on the South Shore, have poker rooms with daily tournaments and cash games. You’ll find everything from low-stakes games to high roller tables with buy-ins of $500 or more.
Over on the North Shore, the Crystal Bay Club Casino also has a poker room that offers daily tournaments and cash games. They even have a regular ladies’ night game on Tuesdays! Other casinos in the area that offer poker include MontBleu and Lakeside Inn & Casino.
If you’re not interested in playing at a casino, there are other options as well. The Tahoe Biltmore Lodge & Casino in Crystal Bay hosts weekly poker tournaments with buy-ins as low as $30. They also have cash games available throughout the week.
For those looking for something even more casual, check out Tahoe Poker’s Meetup group. They organize regular games at private residences around the lake, with buy-ins typically around $20-$30.
And of course, don’t forget about online poker! While online gambling is technically illegal in California (and thus also illegal in parts of Nevada), many offshore sites still accept US players. Just be sure to do your research and play on a reputable site.
So there you have it – plenty of options for playing poker in Lake Tahoe! Whether you prefer live games or online play, there’s something for everyone here.
