Poker is synonymous with Las Vegas. Find out about poker tournaments, high-end poker rooms, and tips for playing poker at MGM Resorts destinations. A quick look at the Mandalay Bay high limit slots room: Video Poker at Mandalay Bay. Video Poker is not a specialty here. There are just four varieties and occupy a small portion of the gaming floor, but you will certainly be able to play them for comped drinks at most of the bars. The machines looked rather old and limits stayed between $0.25. With over 1,200 slot and video poker machines to choose from, you'll find a full selection of your favorite games. Mandalay Bay offers a variety of games, ranging from $0.01 to $100.00.
the poker room here is nice, but I agree with other reviewers - tables are a little old, chairs aren't that great, etc...however, the resort it's located in is about the best for non-smokers (you know what I'm talking about)...at some casino's I feel like I'm losing months off my life from all the 2nd hand smoke, but the ventilation and high ceilings at the Mandalay Bay make for a very pleasant playing environment. One warning about temperature - casino seems fine walking around...but if you're going to sit and play poker for a while - best to wear some warmer clothing.
I rated this 'Average' but would have given it a 3.3-3.5 rating if able. There is a good mix of players, some crazy high volatility players, some solid locals, and some very casual players. If you pay attention you can within 15-30 minutes figure out who is who and then play accordingly. I consider myself an average to perhaps intermediate player (and that's a stretch)...I've read a couple books, watch poker on TV and play in a home game a week...nothing crazy or anything. Over 4 days in this poker room I didn't have one losing session; not one. I definitely recommend playing at night - during the day, games seem tougher...at night much more casual players are present.
Most dealers good, very fast and efficient making for high amount of hands per hour; however there were some dealers who very fairly slow which made the game drag a little.
Service was good when you could locate a cocktail waitress. A couple times I had to have the card room staff call for a waitress because they were unseen for over 30 minutes.

I think that the management of the room was average to good. Some front 'reception' staff were good, others were not to be found for several minutes...overall, this was not a negative for me...but not a positive either.

Hated having to sign in/out on index cards for comps...one time I played for about 3 hours and forgot to sign out...bye bye comps on that one.
