At one time there were only two poker rooms in Vegas where you would go to find pro poker players. But now poker is so popular, every casino is catering to the pros in an attempt to bring them in. The Golden Nugget and Binions were once the places to find the professionals, and you can still find some old-timers there.

The Bellagio has taken over as the premier room in the city. On any day you can find numerous big-name players there playing various games. Bobby’s room is a private area where the best players in the world play for the biggest stakes, but you’ll have to watch from outside; unless you have $100,000 to get in and sit down.

Rooms that have regular professionals these days include the ones at MGM Grand, Caesars, the Mirage, the Wynn, the Venetian, the Orleans, Rio All-Suite, and the Palms.
