Poker Palace rebirth

North Las Vegas has always been a cross between a municipal dump and a war zone, especially the city of NLV proper. The closer you get to Nellis AFB, the cruddier it gets. If you visit one of the locals' casinos, you need to sprint from the parking lot to the front door to give yourself a decent chance of survival.

Poker Palace is in NLV's second-worst neighborhood. It was, however, attractive because of ultra-cheap gambling and good, inexpensive food. As long as you visited during daylight hours and packed heat (with extra ammo), you were probably fine.

So the people who are renovating PP are the same ones who own Club Fortune; unFortunately, that's the worst locals' casino in Henderson, so I'm not hopeful. Still, the renovation and reopening are a good sign, indicating that this blighted and dangerous corner of Vegas may be able to support some kind of commerce other than meth sales.

I'm very curious to see what it will look like and whether its super-bargain vibe will be preserved.

Kevin Lewis will never admit to himself how much he hates Las Vegas.

Everything he writes about Las Vegas is negative.

Shame that he's too poor to afford a vacation destination more to his liking.

I sincerely pity him.

Take your stupid personal attack shit to the Sink where it belongs. You're behaving like a complete jerkass.

And just so you know...your first three statements are lies. Probably your last one, too.

I sense that 2 people are fighting out a personal vendetta. Whatever the reason is, I would recommend to stop it.

I have been to the Poker Palace a few times in my life and it was pretty much slow and run down but I liked it for the outside design , the castle thing. I wished it stays like that. And I remember having hit 4 aces w/kicker the other day on a tight 5-8 dd bonus bank. I take it that progressive bank is gone long time ago. Food was cheap and even cheaper because I had a LVA coupon that day but those days probably are gone too.  I compared to the BigHorn or LongHorn and both places are probably alike and it's all the same. Not so sure if the Silver Nugget casino is still open but when I visited that place to play my 5 dollar match I also had a feeling that this was last stop before getting shot. 

I survived for a miraculous reason and will probably go and visit the remodeled Poker Palace place in April when I will be back. Too sad they will have it without table games. I loved it because they used to have those small buy-in poker tournaments that were actually fun to play in.
